Love to hear you're doing so well! Wow, I hope I do that good once I get surgery. Did you find your tastes have changed? Sounds like 2 oz is working for you so continue in my friend!

For those of you getting ready. 1 thing that REALLY HELPED my after surgery process was to take either drunk 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar EVERY DAY UNTIL SURGERY or take 50 billion probiotic with 20+ strand. This prepares your stomach for all the stress and helps eliminate the gas and pain. Im thankful i did it.

Yes my tastes have changed ALOT and my sense of smell. I can smell the faintest of odors.

Wow, interesting about the apple cider, never thought about that. my boss said her taste preferences has really changed since her surgery in June. Funny about the sense of smell, wouldn't think that would be effected.

Hello April!

Good luck next week and you will have to keep us posted as to how you are doing. I'm excited as I'm half way thru my 6 month ordeal required by insurance so it looks like February will be my surgery. I just had my scope, EKG and chest x-ray done so that is out of the way. Dr. Oldham is really great!

Aw, I am so excited for you! Once your insurance is approved you'll be schedule for surgery in a matter of weeks. :) I had to go through 7 months of seeing a nutritionists for my insurance. It will be here before you know it. Keep us posted on how you're doing. I think Dr. Oldam is pretty amazing! He seems to sincerely care about his patients.

      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! 😞
