wow 3 weeks? I'd go crazy as well..lol. Do they have a goal amount that they want you to lose? I was told I wouldn't have to do more than one week and a clear liquid the day before surgery, but I'm sure that can change at my final meeting at the end of this month.

He wants me to lose 20-30 pounds before surgery. I'm usually great all day but at night I am ravenous!

I started my 2 week pre-op diet today and my surgery is scheduled for March 6th. I'm pretty excited to start a new life. I was pretty nervous until I had my pre-op surgery appointment this last monday and it really settled my nerves. I feel really prepared now. I'm just nervous about the next 13 days of this pre-op diet. Today hasn't been too bad, not really hungry, just a empty feeling in my belly. Good luck everyone.

      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.

      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! 😞
