Completed my last appointment today! Hallelujah! So much information, overload!

Kaiser only requires a two day liquid diet one day full liquids one day Clear Liquids two days prior to surgery.

Thankfully I've been following their pre-op diet on and off since May and I'm still losing weight on my own. I would love to get down another 10 pounds before my surgery.

But I am having my farewell dinners in lunches just a few things that I don't know that I'll ever be able to tolerate again.

Our nutritionist said again today some people cannot handle sugar or really greasy foods they get dumping syndrome even with the sleeve. It's amazing though when you are eating and making better choices how those foods don't feel good anymore... Happy for that!

I firmly believe nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. :)

I thought for sure I'd be sleeved in December but after a phone call with my coordinator yesterday it looks like I could be sleeved in November!!! She said since my primary insurance is Medicare I could get a reply in just a few days!! (Medicare at 36 years old isn't what I'd call a great thing though). After approval she said it's about 3 weeks until surgery.

That is good my office was 4-6 weeks out and longer at the end of the year. So glad you got an earlier date.

      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! 😞
