Yes! But it gets better.. after month four was done I felt like things moved quickly. I'm scheduled for surgery 3/10 and now I dont know where those six months went

It seems like a lot but once you take it all in and "own" the information it isn't really so bad. I was thankful that my surgeon gave us so much info. It really helped me deal with all the changes after surgery. Good luck to you, you are taking a big step towards good health!

You will be fine. Mine was 4 months and it goes by fast. To me the worst part was the last 2 weeks and the Protein shake/soup only diet. Then it's all down hill. You will do fine.

Oh heck ya I felt overwhelmed. I had to do a six month supervised weightloss. I got discouraged so many times! It did help me prepare for my surgery and the healing process. There of course are things I would have never predicted, but it was definitely worth the wait! Good luck with your pre-op. Your surgery will be here sooner than you think :).

      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! 😞
