I stared my diet appointments about 2-1/2 months ago but I decided to go with my surgeons office dietitian so I am. Now starting all over again. I want to do things as smart as possible so I don't mess up my chances of approval. I am in MD in the Metropolitan area and was wondering if there's anyone close in the early stages like I am. I originally got the referral for the surgery back in February but chickend out but I refuse to turn back now. The liquid diet before the surgery is scary because I eat a lot and I am always hungry. So I have no idea what to do about that!

I'm not in MD, I'm in NC...but we can message one another for support. The liquid-diet is intimidating but you can do it and it really prepares you for the first few days post-op when you can consume much of anything. I had a really tough time with the liquid diet but were allowed a lean mean and veggie for dinner at night. For the two week pre-op diet.

Hello! I'm in Baltimore, MD. I have Dr. Kuldeep Singh as well! Currently, I'm in my 4th month of supervised diet (come the 22nd)...I'm doing it with my PCP. I've seen Dr. Singh's Psychiatrist on the 9th and I go see his Nutritionist, this coming Monday, for a consultation.

Cool! Myu unfortunantely my primary care would not do my visits (bummer). What insurance carrier do you have? I have aetna and boy I tell you they sure do make you jump through some hoops and don't really want to tell you anything until authorization has been sent. How is your diet going? Do you have any tips?

So I had my nutrition consult and it seems I will be on Track for an early February surgery date. I learned a lot. Especially the fact that I wasn't eating as often as I should! I feel like I'm on the right path now. :)

Gray scarf on my head? Yeah, that was me. Did she give you samples of Protein shakes/powder and Multivitamins?

      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?

      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... :(
