Ok. I don't know how my comment got on someone else's. But I am still fairly new at this posting. Anyway. I too Just got approved. Today!!! February 18th is my day with dr Gersin in Charlotte NC

Hey there!!! Same day!! Pre-op is the 3rd (Monday) then I start my pre-op diet Tuesday. Good luck!!

That's awesome. Mine is at 7:30am, I am over the moon. My liquid diet starts Tuesday as well. And I have at least one appt scheduled for every day next week. This is really happening :). I want to scream it to the world

I am not home tonight but I'll look and tell u what it's called. Herbalife's is ok but expensive for the amt you get. I'll look in the morning and let you know what I can handle.

On Amazon the Bariatric Advantage unflavored has good reviews. I use their vanilla and just ordered chocolate and unflavored today.

Bariatric Advantage tears me up. It literally felt like I had food poisoning I was running to the bathroom so much. I think some ppl just can't tolerate some of it. It may have been the flavoring though so let us know once u get the unflavored in

Will do. I had diarrhea this AM but am also on antibiotics. Emailed my surgeon and he said take my next pill with a small greek yogurt. I did that and had my vanilla shake at dinner and am fine. Thank God! Because this morning wasn't fun. Lol.

Me too :) I wanted it to have it done around Christmas/New Year. Since that was not an option I had to push it back to Feb 11th.

In my third month of this process. Feb 14th will mark a full three months. At the last appointment I was down 25 pounds and was feeling like I could do this. Since then, not so much. I have not lost a single pound, not an ounce. WTH!!!!! I am sticking to the plan (NUT has me following Weight Watchers Points plan) weighing and measuring my foods, no longer eating out, eating healthy and have totally given up carbs). I am supposed to loose at least another 10 pounds before I can be scheduled for surgery and my weight loss has come to a screeching halt. And to top it off one of the the diet meds they have me on Phentermine and Topamax is making me itch like crazy (just my hands and feet) so I am living on benedryl and having to get off the diet meds to figure out which one I am having a reaction to. I am feeling very discouraged right now. :-( My doctor hasn't given me a surgery date yet so it's all up in the air. Feeling really bummed. Someone please tell me this is all gonna be worth it.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
