The first few days were tough. But I'm lucky my work keeps me on schedule. So that makes if easier. Day 4 went great. Only thing I noticed was the headaches and feeling tired.

I save my Soup broth for supper every night. I cook things for hubby that I don't like! I even had soup at the food court yesterday with them. Just the broth.

I am on 6 ensure high Protein, 1 cup of skim milk a day. And Water, tea coffee all sugarfree

You can do it!!

Easy for me too. Still took some time but seems like it went smooth. Now it's here almost! Doesn't seem real. I will start a reduced calorie diet this week as i don't want to give my body too much of a shock. Still thinking that a year ago i never would have pictured myself here!

I am very thankful and this site has been great

I'm April 14th too...I'm only required to do a 1 week pre-op liquid diet but I'm going to do the full 14 days. NUT gave us a 5 day meal plan to start right away up until liquid diet but I'm planning to continue having smaller portions and do the liquid diet for 2 weeks.

So far I've tried these:

Premier Protein

powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury

Chike

Out of the 3 Chilke is by far my favorite. I wish I knew what people do to settle their nerves so I can settle mines. I think about being sleeved all day every day. My husband is like get off those d&$n boards lol hahaha.

      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! 😞
