So the doctor told me that I could have Meals. I was on a liquid diet for about a week when I had my appointment and he told me that I could actually eat.. I did eat today but I finished and my stomach ended up hurting me and now I Catch myself worrying about gaining weight that I end up feeling ashamed and sick. I had I had lost a total of 14 pounds and the doctor said that he needs me on the 295 pounds after he told me I only need to lose 9 pounds. I've realized that with food I do have a problem and I have no self control. It honestly is very embarrassing to say I'm just going to have to go back on my liquid diet the remaining week that I have left over and after the surgery I'm hoping not to have this problem. People think its a joke when you're overweight But honestly it is not at all it is a big problem there is so much more going on then what People on the outside see as being fat and greedy.

I hope it gets easier for you, it sure is tough controlling oneself with food. What I can tell you for sure @@LMolina1987 is that all your efforts will be rewarded. If you are able to go through with this, you'll be able to do anything. Keep strong.

@@LMolina1987 What foods were you eating? I'm feeling the same way. The doctor said I can start eating more dense foods but I fear of gaining weight and may have to go on the liquid diet again. Let me know how that goes for you.

After my visit with the surgeon setting the surgery date, I had so many food funerals that I gained 3 pounds! So, I had to loose that 3 pounds and go back to the surgeon and weigh-in to prove I had done it. That made me very sad at myself. I'm 12 days post-op and doing well. My surgeon discovered i had a hiatal hernia when he went in to do the sleeve. He repaired it at the same time. Good luck!

Oh okay. I was thinking, wow, your doctor said you can eat regular food only 1 week after surgery. Lucky!! My doctor told me that I could eat whatever up until my surgery. If I weighed alot more, I would have had to lose weight before the surgery. From the time I first met the doctor and the time I went in for surgery, I gained 7 pounds. Like ExcitedNana said, I ate everything I loved knowing I would never have it again or woudn't have it for a long time. I like her wording, food funerals. LOL Very clever. What is your height and weight now and what is your goal?

      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... :(
