@@BLERDgirl yes I was up walking just as soon as my eyes would stay open and I walked all day and night long. The nurses were very impressed with my dedication to walking but the reason I was so dedicated was about every lap I did I would get out a good burp which always made me feel so much better! I just got a little cup of Water to drink and the nurse said to take an hour to drink it I looked at it and thought no way will this take an hour lol I have 10 min left and just a little half way through it lol who knew

Hi, my sleeve date is Dec. 16 and I weigh 423. My doctor doesn't do the Protein liquid diet before surgery. They told me to start Atkins diet 2 weeks before surgery to help shrink my liver. I'm excited and nervous.

I'm required to do liquid for two weeks but I really feel like Atkins would be the smarter choice. I'm sure I will have a constant headache on the liquid. Congrats. .so excited for you!

I'm pretty sure my doctor does 2 weeks of Optifast pre-surgery and then about 3 weeks after? I am not sure what else is included in that other than shakes. In the past I have done a juice "fast" and never felt hunger/headaches/stomachaches on it so I am optimistic that it will be a breeze to get through the pre-surgery bit. Still waiting for a surgery date. (Impatiently, I might add.)

Good luck. Did you just get your surgery date? I still haven't gotten one. Congrats on already getting down 20 lbs! I am sure you'll drop plenty more on the pre-op diet. Keep us posted.

      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... :(
