One step at s time sweetie. Pace yourself. Remember this isn't a race. You've waited this long so the little stumbling blocks will only make your final story THAT much greater sug. When there is a will there is always a way. Keep your head up luv

Take a deep breath. It will work out.

Some things that helped me with the process:

Stay in touch with your bariatric practice. If you have questions, call. Keep asking questions until you understand the answer and what you need to do.

Write everything down. Keep a notebook or binder so that you have everything in one place.

Practice polite persistence.

But, also be patient.

What type of liquids were you on before surgery?

Sent from my VS985 4G using the BariatricPal App

I was on chicken and beef broth, sugar free Jello and sugar free popcicles I had to be on Clear Liquids so basically if you can see through it and it was sugar free I could have it I lost 5 pounds in the 48 hours of the liquid diet

      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... :(
