Hello All!! I'm new and have been working toward surgery since feb 2013. Many bumps in the road but my surgery is set for March 10. I look forward to following a few of these posts and see how everyone is doing.

Best of luck to everyone!

First time here...my day is March 11th. Started out very excited and a little scared now I'm excited and scared. Love reading up on everyone's experiences thanks a bunch!!!

I'm still in a shock mode like it really isn't going to happen. Don't get me wrong I'm doing my low carb diet prep. H&P Wed maybe it will seem more real. Friday pre-op and registration with the hospital maybe then. I don't think it will really hit me until I'm in my room after surgery and I hear the surgeon say the procedure was a success.

I agree, it helps reading what others are going through. Glad to know someone else is on the same day as I am! Thanks for the reply.

They haven't told me to start any type of diet. I did get a missed call from my Dr though so I will see if they tell me to start tomorrow. Every meal I have i get a feeling like it will be the last one I will have FOREVER and get a little sad. I think it's me being in panic mode though.

One thing I have noticed on this site is different surgeons have different protocols. Mine was a low carb diet starting two weeks before surgery. I'm seeing everything from liquid diet to not much more than clean eating. I had the same feeling about a few meals, I felt sad I may never eat it again but clearly eating it wasn't helping me much either. So hopefully if I have issues with some foods it won't feel too bad since I will be a much healthier version of myself.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
