If you have an iphone, it's called "Countdown" real creative, huh? Haha

How's everybody doing today? I think my emotions are really hitting me. I cried over the thought of a couple shirts I have that are too tight being loose in a few months. Crazy Lol

I'm doing great so far but I am use to drinking my Breakfast already. It's lunch and dinner time that may be difficult.

I have had a Protein shake for Breakfast, some watermelon Water, and 1/4 of an organic raw kombucha drink so far.

Did your surgeons say that you had to watch your carb intake during your liquid fast pre-surgery.

I'm logging my liquids on MFP and EVERYTHING has carbs in it.

No...My nutritionist wrote out my meal plan I have 2 shakes a day Beef broth for lunch, 2 Snacks greek yogurt 80 calories, and at night a sugar free popsicle. And as much Water as I'd lke.

We have pretty much had the same thing so far but I opted for chicken broth today.

My husband is kinda fasting with me.. So that makes it easier.

Today has been easier than I expected (so far). I think it's because I have been on the go since early this morning.

I have not thought about food.... Unlike yesterday when that's all I thought about. Lol

I need to get some exercise but I usually end up "thinking about it" but not actually doing it.

Hello all! I'm scheduled for RNY on the 8th. I'm mostly excited, but a whole lot nervous too. My Dr doesn't have me in a liquid diet, just high protein/low carb. Interesting how different the programs are. My dr is at a base hospital tho, maybe that's part of it.

Hi Heather_marie

I'm excited too.... My Wednesday is half way over already. Time has been flying by.

I have instructions for a liquid diet but I was told that I really just have to watch the carbs, sodium and sugar as well.

I am mostly on liquids but I have had chicken once, veggies and fruit.

Monday can't get here soon enough.

      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.

        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... :(
