Yeah it irks me actually that I'm in the dark over what to expect, how to diet (pre-op & post-op), I haven't met my surgeon... I haven't had any classes ...I haven't even received a book nothing absolutely nothing!!! my first appointment is next Thursday for paperwork and weigh in... I don't even have my classes until right before my surgery!!!?

I'll be honest... I dieted for a few months (6mo required)... but then when I was waiting for my approval... I kinda ate like I wanted to for three months...and then I just started dieting again last Sunday...and I plan to diet until I have my surgery and after!! right now I'm doing two Protein shakes a day (morning & night) and one small meal in the afternoon...(either salad or like a lean cuisine or something)...

Lulu22 I am scheduled for Nov 1st and I am actually surprised I have made it this far on the liquid diet. This is the fourth day and I've have some low blood sugar issues but otherwise feeling like I'm going to make it. How are you doing?

Ok I've made it one week on my 2 week liquid diet. Have my pre-op visit with Dr Allison tomorrow. Time is moving so fast, or so it seems. There are many of us going in the first week of November. Can you believe it, we're almost there!

I'm in November buddies. My surgery is November 1st just two more days. I have been on a two week liquid diet. Not as bad as I expected. My husband has been tremendously supportive. He doesn't eat around me. The thing for me is to keep busy. I'm a "boredom" eater. The great news?....I am already cutting BP medication dosages in half!.....insulin had to be reduced by 30% off a diuretic all together. This is going to be sooo worth it. Not to mention how great we will feel and look!! My surgery will be in Viera Florida. Any other Florida people? My prayer is that we all succeed in our goal to be healthier. God Bless.

      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... :(
