I attended my pre-op nutritional/surgical orientation today. I'm scared to death! I was doing fine up until now. There's so much to remember, keeping supplements straight. Any post op sleevers have any requests? Does it get easier?

I just made a list of the things I needed to do post op. One week post op and everything is part of the daily routine.

Best of luck!

Yes, it gets better and you get used to it I was nervous too about remembering everything and I made note cards but I rarely use them. My diet stages go 2 weeks at a time so it's easy to get used to those. My supplements are easy too. My Lexapro, Prevacid and Multivitamin. In one week I will add my B Complex and Calcium. That's it.

You will get used to it. The most important thing is to drink, drink, drink.

I ordered all of my pills online, and I keep them all in a little box next to my laptop where I can see them. That way I remember to take them

Yes it gets easier.

My program gave us binders with the entire process start to 1 year out from pre to post-op. It had sample menus, recipes, Vitamin, supplement and Protein shake.powder recommendations. It became my bible of sorts. If your program doesn't provide them, go to the dollar store and buy a binder and start your own. When you go to appointments like this, take notes and add them to your binder. Most importantly if you have questions do not hesitate to call your nutritionist or program coordinator and ask until you understand.

      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.

      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! 😞
