Hi Surgery Buddy! I had my pre-op appointment today with the nurse and nutritionist and for lab work. My appointment with the Dr is also on Monday! I'm super excited, first day on liquid diet - so far so good. How long does your doctor keep you off work? Mine is 3 wks. I just can't even picture what I will look like by Christmas, maybe I actually won't mind having my picture taken! Isn't it fun to think about all the things that will be different?

Oh my gosh I'm so excited I can't stand it!! My goal weight is 140 so I need to lose about 115 lbs. My dr said he expects me to lose all of that and possibly more which I can't really even fathom! I feel super lucky that I don't have to do the pre op liquid diet. And they didn't give me a specified amount of time to stay out of work. The lady I talked to today to schedule my surgery said 2 weeks but since I don't have a physically strenuous job I may be ready to go back after 1 week... But that if my job isn't being supportive he'd sign Leave papers for however long I wanted lol Where are you located? I'm in Atlanta. So many questions!!!

My surgery is in 13 days... I am also freaking out, had my pre op blood work and EKG today and have my surgery clearance spot with my internal med doc on Tuesday... Then pre op with surgeon on 9th. Time seems to be going fast... I am noticing I am having somewhat difficult time mentally on this liquid diet, it's sad how much food is has a hold of me... All the cravings are kicking in just because i can't have it at the moment and I know it's just my head... Trying to really pay attention to it and change my way of seeing food and and keep staying busy. I told someone today about my surgery and they asked me if I am excited... I feel like I can't get excited because I know it will be tough and since I am revision from lap band I am scared I won't lose my extra weight...

Wow....guess i needed to let things out here lol

      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! 😞
