I'm beginning to second guess myself. I don't want to discuss my nerves with my family because I think they are already nervous enough. I know this is incredibly important for my future, so, I will get through it. But my hands are shaking and I feel like I just can't talk to anyone. Anybody else out there feeling like this?

Recovery was pretty rough for the first couple of days. (sleeved on Oct 28th in Sydney) I'm still having a lot of pain. It comes in waves right beneath and in the centre of my rib cage. drinks taste off. Artificial sweeteners taste even more off. Powerade Zero goes down pretty well though. :) looks like there's going to be some trial and error. On the upside, I'm down 14 pounds since I started the Optifast about 2 weeks ago. That makes me happy. How's the rest of the pre-Halloween gang doing? Anybody else fantasising about what your next year's costume will be? ????????????

It's almost two weeks post op. Feeling great. Sick of the Protein shakes. I just mix Greek yoghurt with some unsweetened almond milk.

I had no drains - maybe it's done differently in the UK. Also pre- surgery was a liver shrinking diet that required me to follow a meal plan. Not liquid diets like I read here.

Lost 6kg. Seldom hungry. Trying to keep up with the Protein sans nasty shakes. Made black eye bean Soup yesterday.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
