I am taking Flintstones chewables and B12 that is liquid form. You will lose weight on the pre op diet. It sucks! And is hard. Definitely go to your favorite restaurants if you have any and eat your food too. It sucks not having any real food. We will have it eventually though and the liquids is only temporary. Thank god lol. You will get back on track soon enough and it's gonna be okay. I'm sorry all of that happened to you. It's great that you have a surgery date and something to look forward too! I'm here for support too. I definitely regretted it afterwards just because I wanted something to eat. Not even the pain. The pain wasn't bad for me at least. Food is just the best and it's hard when you get it taken away from you.

Yeah. :-/ I mean it's just food. Why does it have such a hold on us?

Another question. Are any of the appointments prior to surgery family friendly? My husband would like show his support and attend them with me.

I believe he can come to any of them. The nutrition class, a lady was with her mom. The 2nd class with Ivan, he talks to you one on one afterwards. The pre admission is just them taking blood n seeing what medicine your on n how healthy you are.

I'm pretty proud of myself. I got horrific news about 6:30 last night about the loss of a dear, sweet, wonderful person due to heroin. I don't know if you guys know this but I'm a social worker at a drug rehab in butler county. Anyway. I've been an emotional wreck but have not eaten since finding out. Normally I'd eat everything!! I'm still so devastated and a hot mess but at least I did not turn to food. I can't sleep either! But no food.

Sorry to hear about your loss. You still need to hydrate and get some Protein in. It's your job now.

Tssiemer, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. It's no fun losing someone we get close too at work. Drugs are horrible and people don't realize how dangerous they really are. It's taking over the world. It's sad. I hope you will be okay.

Molly do you use anything in particular to help keep your drinks and Protein Shakes cold thought the day?

      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... :(
