Hi there! Was just sitting here thinking of you and wondering how you're doing. I pray that everything is coming along alright. I can't hardly wait until Nov.19th to go to my very 'first' appointment:+) Hopefully i'll come out smiling! Keep us posted on your progress. I love this forum. Bye for now.

Sassy24, thank you for those kind words. All is well. Having a difficult time getting my fluids in. But I am realizing that it is getting a little better & easier each day. I can't stand the taste of the Protein Drinks. They are horrible to me. But I did like the Unjury chicken Soup. I'm just about finished with clear fluids & will switch to full in a couple of days. I'm hoping that I get my required Protein in during that stage. I will have more of a variety to choose from. Sometimes I feel like didn't prepare myself for this phase. I did buy what I need ed but I didn't taste it before hand.

Awwww, you'll be fine:+)...sometimes ya just can't think of 'everything' to do. I'm getting quite nervous awaiting my very first appointment. Hope I don't out of the range criteria for having this surgery cuz I REALLY need it. I have other things going on with me besides the weight. Right now I'm 210 and by the time I have to lose those required 10 pounds, that may put me out of bmi range. Will be praying that you continue progress nicely. I'll be checking in again.

Sassy24.... Things will be just fine. My 1st post op appt was yesterday & I was taken off of 1 blood pressure medicine, my diabetic medication was cut in half. I was so happy! I started this journey at 278, in currently 255.5. Most of my WL was during the liquid stage. During the 6 months I ate like it was the end of the world. Lol, but you will be fine. Keep me posted on how you are doing.

You are doing GREAT!!!! Indeed, I will keep you posted:+) PS:BTW, i'm eating right now too like it's the end of the world, only because I wanna stay the weight I am right now and not slip below the bmi criteria, but i know FULL WELL what I have to do once I'm ok'd for surgery, and for the REST of my life if I wanna live a 'healthy' life!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
