I think this is a great idea. Maybe we can keep in touch throughout the journey. My surgery is scheduled for September 30th also. I look forward to the next morning when its over. I felt both numb and anxious when I got my date. I went on a bing which I am now trying to recover from. It was my nerves. I got back on the wagon and now I am making my lists in preparation for my new birth - lol. I know its going to be hard......I have heard about the mental hunger that comes. Oh la la. I need help yall. I don't have anyone. Glad I found you all. Love, Peace and Prayers to each of you.

I found it hard to find protein drinks I actually liked...i don't like milkshakes or milky products..so it makes it tough to find one. I finally found the most "decent" one is the Isopure Plus. Easy to get down, and the aftertaste is manageable. Has 15g of protein. And no carbs. I got the alpine punch flavor.

I'm scheduled for September 23. Today is my first day of pre-op prep. Not as hungry as I thought I'd be so I'm happy. I can't wait for the 23rd!!! I am still trying to find a Protein Drink that tastes good to me. I like the idea of Protein that has no flavor at all because I find some to be way too sweet. Glad to be in touch with others in the same boat as me.

Yes it is! I'm trying to stay focused. I know I have it better than some, but I still need to be mindful. I have my preop appointment in the morning. I hope learn a lot.

Just had my surgery on Sept.5th at the OCC and am 5 days post op! I feel like I have so much energy at times and then have moments I need to rest. I haven't lost any weight yet and was told by another sleever she didn't in loose the first week. I do feel smaller so I am thinking I am loosing inches. I am getting used to dealing with the head hunger but so great full I have this tool where I can't eat. It's seems to be getting better everyday. Liquids are going down great too:)

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
