Recommended Posts

OMG, all the commercials on TV are about food, McDonald's, Burger King, Italian food, everything is about food. It looks so good, going on day five of the liquid diet. ????

That's why I don't watch tv and anything I do watch I tivo it to skip commercials.

I had my nutrition class on monday and was able to sample their Protein drink. Labs completed Tuesday along with psychologist meeting. Wasn't real impressed with him. I wrote out a sample schedule based on current work schedule for long term success, but keep fretting over the pre-op liquid schedule. I keep second guessing myself over the success of this long term.

I am and I can't decide if I'm elated or terrified. Depends on which video I watch. Everyone sticking to their pre op diet? I find cabbage Soup diet Soup helps.

Don't know what to pack...? Hi all- I'm traveling quite a distance for my surgery and am going to be on my own so I want to prep for all. What should I bring food wise for post surgery? Any recommendations for clear broths / drinks etc? Broths seem to be really high sodium anyone have anything else they recommend that will provide acceptable subsistence?

      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! 😞
