Pre-op successes

Hello wonderful community! Just a few successes from today I wanted to share.

This afternoon I took my daughter and her friends out for pizza. I ordered a plain salad (Ok'd by doc to do veggies only with lemon on such occasions...) and that's all I ate, even with the amazing looking pie right in front of me.

Tonight, after back to school night, I went out for drinks with some friends . They all had 2 beers each and I had 2 unsweetened ice teas.

This is my 6th day on the pre-op diet and I think I can do this! (8 more days to go....)

How are others doing with temptations??

Thanks!

The first three days were really hard - I was a total grump. But after that it gets much easier!! Good luck!

So glad to hear you say it gets better. I am on day 3 1/2 and had one of the worst headaches of my life yesterday. Today is a new day and one day closer to surgery!

Yes- I had a headache and felt light headed when I would stand up. Had another experience this morning - there were Dunkin donuts for a parent coffee this morning and I just sipped my tea.

One thing this pre op diet has showed me is how often I am exposed to high calorie food and drinks!! It's everywhere!!!

Yes that is so true!

The liquid diet headache is officially gone today! I feel like I can see the finish line or would it be the starting line.

I have to ask my nut if the liquid diet the Surgeon requires includes real food I'm 5 months away but I want to be prepared

      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?

      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... :(
