My pre-op diet starts tomorrow



Recommended Posts

Well I'm new here been looking around for a week now. I went to my pre-op final appointment on Monday and was told to start the diet as soon as I can. Today is my wedding anniversary and I wanted to enjoy one last meal out so I will be starting the diet on tomorrow. It's mostly low carb and clean eating. I can get a 1000 calories a day. My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday September 23rd after I return from Hawaii for my anniversary. I will be clean eating while on vacation but it will be worth it to have back my self confidence that I loss with the added pounds.

No I'm have the sleeve done. I was thinking of the band but the surgeon recommended the sleeve for me.

Btw, my vow renewal will be in a year on Galveston beach. It's a very sentimental location for me. I am so excited at the thought of a regular sized dress! :) God bless your journey!

      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! 😞
