So I'm in a state of "nesting." I know I'm not having a baby [emoji23], but I want to be 100% focused on having a successful pre-op diet and post-op LIFE! My 13-yo son is on vacation visiting family for 5 weeks and I'll be having the surgery while he is gone (he does not know, nor does anyone in my family). Today I cleaned the garage, and organized some of the inside of the house. More cleaning to be done tomorrow! [emoji15][emoji15][emoji15]

OMG I am doing the same thing! Cleaning, organizing, throwing out clothes that are too big or I know I will never wear, organizing the clothes that are too small into groups by just how too small they are, ditching food I know I won't eat again. Feels great!

YES! Since my son is out of town and he will be eating healthy with me (whether he knows it or not lol) I've thrown away Cereal, chips, tortillas, Syrup, etc. My cupboards and fridge are so empty right now. Bags of old clothes that are too small but haven't been able to part with, and I've organized them so I can "shop" when I start losing without going broke lol. For someone who generally feels tired and in pain most times, I sure have a lot of energy lately [emoji23] I think my brain is just telling me to prepare for a major change. If only I could maintain this energy all the time... I probably wouldn't need surgery [emoji53]

I know but it is a great feeling, just shows we are mentally ready! When is your surgery? Mine is three weeks from tomorrow.

I'm nesting because I don't want to risk getting sick going out with surgery only 10 days away.

      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! 😞
