I'm doing some "food funerals" now to begin preparing myself. I'm saying goodbye to foods that I really should not and probably won't be able to eat after surgery. :)

Yup, count me in on that one!

It's taken me a few weeks, but I have started to come to terms with what the future holds and I'm ready to get started with eating healthily even if the liquid diet is still a few weeks away. I think I needed to say goodbye.

I really didn't have a food funeral. My problem is Diet Coke. I stopped that the day before surgery. I just found 6 cans of soda I had forgotten about. They are still where I put them.

They are there for company, not me.

I will give you some advice. Before the pre-op started I said I'll have to hit all my favorite spots and have my farewells. Well that said and done I really wish I hadn't. It made me miserable the first week. When you make a sudden drop in calories going from 2,000+ and go to say 600-800. It really shocked my system. Day two I had the worst headache. Spent a good amount of time face down in the bathroom. Then from there felt very weak and like I had low blood sugar. I tested my levels and they weren't. If I could do it again I'd reign myself in and try to ween myself off progressively slower. Just a forewarning for all of you thinking of making it your last hurrah.

I didn't get that chance????I was called on the 10th and told my surgery could be the 26th if I wanted and of course I did????so I took my grandsons to McDonalds for my last supper lol and then started on low-carb, gave up soda and sweets????. I'm on my second day of full liquids and go to my pre-op visits on 23rd then surgery the 26th...I'm very excited for this new chapter in my life!! And I hope we all heal quickly and meet our goals!! Prayers for you all!!

      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! 😞
