March 9th as well!

I've been on the pre-op diet for a few days. Messed up the first couple dinners!

Better these last couple days. It's been tough. It's mostly tough when my husband is eating dinner and I'm eating my small, healthy dinner.

Are you exercising? Sometimes that will make you gain weight too. You could not be eating enough...you know how that works, you body will go into starvation mode. I can totally understand what you are going through...it can be so frustrating. My fingers are crossed that the scale will move for you...in the right direction! :(

This is day 8 on pre-op. I'm doing 2-3 protien shakes per day and cabbage or brussel sprouts occasionally. I need to lose another 6lbs by next thursday and I'm freaking out!! I woke up this morning and the scale said I GAINED a lb!! How does that even happen?!? Anyone have any advice?? I have to be under a certain BMI to avoid having to pay an extra fee. 6lbs in 7 days.....someone help!

I'm right there with you on this...super hard to watch someone eat something you love. I sometimes have to leave the room because it's just to much for me. I'm such a wimp! :unsure:

March 16th! :D has anyone heard of successful ways to minimize loose skin throughout the weight loss? I know I'll have some under my arms and my belly. I'm also concerned to loose the little booty I have and get sagging boobs. /: any tips?

Found out last Thursday that my surgery I was aiming for to be done in June due to homeschooling is now going to be March 18th :-) I am thankful I have great support ready to help me so I can go through with this. I turned 33 on February 2nd and have had many health issues so I am excited for this new chapter in my life. Anyone else close to the 18th? I am from upstate ny.

I'm am! To be truthful, the pre-op liquid diet makes me nervous but hey, once day at a time, right? :)

March 3rd here, struggling with this pre op diet. I've cheated way too much. Never consumed more than 1,000 calories a day, but afraid that this weakness will cause catastrophe for my mind after surgery. Anyone else?

I'm actually on a preop diet for almost a month now. Not feeling that great today. I've been doing two shakes and then a small meal so I don't think that the liquid diet is going to be that difficult for me. At this point I have absolutely no hunger at all and that worries me a little bit. I don't think you're going to have any problem if you put your mind to it.

      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! 😞
