Recommended Posts

Hey Jackie, my name is Dori. I had my sleeve done Dec. 17th 2013 so it's all pretty new to me too, but I can tell you I've lost 50 pounds so far !! YeahY! So don't worry that this won't work ..it will. You look really young in your photo, im 55 and live in SoCal.

Well let me start with this... make sure you get Protein shakes you really like, thats important. I really like the ones that my doctor sells VHP brand. Ther pretty good but you need to mix them so ther not already prepared. Also get lots of "Isopure"...in the bottle. It's not a mix it's a drink and has 40 grams of Protein. I really like it cause you can get your Water and protein at the same time. They taste great, you can order a case of 12 from "the Vitamin Shop" online. You'll find thats its really really hard to drink your 64 oz of Water aday because #1 water will taste soooo grossssss now! and 2# you get so full from the shakes.< /p>

What ever you do DONT EAT ANY food BEFORE 4 WEEKS. You wont feel to great if you do, pain and disscomfort..i know.

Well kido, you hang in.

Dori ;)

Hi, I'm not doing the liquid diet before... I've been dieting since I meet with my surgeon 2 weeks ago... He said I only needed to lose weight before, anyway I can... I'm in England and I've paid hard cash for my operation so I think I get to call the shots a bit more... I've got my pre op appointment Thursday, so maybe they will say I need to start the liquids... I'm in a really good head space at the moment so I'll go along with what I'm told... I'm being careful what I read now on these forums, I don't want to hear the bad stuff... I look forward to following your progress... Are you excited??? X

      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... :(
