So, I am finding that my surgery is all I think about!! Ha! It's hard to focus on anything else for long periods of time. I'm both excited and nervous. I keep wanting to ensure I do as much as I can to prepare. Just a little over a week to go!

Today was first day on liquid diet with 1 food meal!!

It went good!

I shipped at costco, and picked up Premier Protein drinks, and muscle milk lite- my Dr doesn't want me to drink less than 20g of protein-

My husband grilled me chicken tonight and I measured out my Protein, grilled veggies and had a small salad-

I'm to have 1 more Protein Shake before bed- which is perfect for after my walk.

Surgery is 9/8/14, and I see my surgeon for the last time tomorrow until surgery!

I am down 17 pounds from initial appointment with him-

Do you know what the average pre op weight loss is?? I'd like to be down a total of 25 pounds before surgery.

How did everyone else do that started their preop diet today??

This is OUR month!!! Woot woot ! ????????????

I have surgery on the 8th also. I am lucky, my dr does not do the liquids pre op diet. I just have to limit my carbs to less than 55 per day. So that has not been to bad. I hate Protein Drinks so I have been experimenting with different brands and have actually come up with a few that dont tast bad. I like nectar brand and matrix coffee Protein drinks. I have only lost 10 pound since my initial appt and my final appt with my doc is today also!! SO EXCITING!!! I would love to follow your progress also. I dont know how to add friends as i am fairly new to this site. but i would add you if i knew how :D

      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! 😞
