I'm the 16th! I am 6 days into my pre op diet. I have lost 11 lbs during pre op so far but I am struggling with headaches and diarrhea. Haven't cheated though.

High weight 265. Current weight 245. 5'4". 38 years old.

Ritcheycop, I am nervous but just to be on the other side. I have done the being large for long enough. Because I am traveling for my surgery, I have been preparing this past week with the essentials I need to take and for sure what I need for post op. I went to the costco and bought the heavy items, broth, Protein, Vitamins. Things I won't be cleared to carry until much later. And of course loaded up on sugar Jello. I figured for the perishables I would wait right until the day before I leave. As for the diet, I start in the morning. I am on a five day pre-op. But I do notice that over the past few days I have been eating less and less and letting my stomach get to the point where it makes noise; it may be weird but it makes me feel good.

I already had the bouillon cubes and other items on hand. Things like hebiclens (skin cleanser), gas-x strips, heating pad, etc. I picked up already as well.

      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... :(
