My surgery is 2/4/16. I'm excited and nervous at the same time! Reading the various posts gives me reassurance that I can do this!

February 9th for me!! Getting super excited. Started my first week of 3 week preop diet. Working on getting lots of Protein, lots of Water throughout the day, and eating on a schedule to learn how to stop grazing all day long.

Good luck to everyone. I can't wait for success

My surgery is scheduled for Feb. 15. I begin my 2 week liquid diet on Monday. I am really pumped about the surgery, but at the same time I am nervous. I just found out yesterday that the surgeon who was scheduled to do the surgery is no longer with the group effective two days ago. I happened to go into the office yesterday and got the opportunity to meet my new surgeon and I really like him. He is able to perform the surgery on the same day, so I was pleased. Basically, the only change is my pro op appointments.

I would really like to keep in touch and see how you are doing. I wish you all the best!!!

Started my 2 week pre op liquid diet today. I am using chocolate and strawberry Protein Shakes (Bariatric Advantage). I had to come up with a schedule to get in all my nutrition, supplements, Water, and exercise. Plus I have to account for appointments. I am not hungry at all. Those shakes fill me up! I have already walked once today. I hope to maybe ATTEMPT to hit tennis balls for a little bit with my husband later. Please wish me luck. If anybody wants to be a buddy during this adventure, please let me know.

      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... :(
