Nervous. Worried, and excited. I'm not worried about the surgery in the least. I have total faith in my doctor, primarily since i've had a hernia surgery with him before. I think the liquid diet only makes it harder, emotionally. I know that might sound strange but eating this way, and knowing that my eating habits not only have to change, but will be drastically curbed makes me anxious too. I don't consider myself a big eater. I typically can't get through more than a single slice of pizza at a sitting, or eat an entire cheeseburger. I think I'm a grazer. And I've been on prednisone for a muscle disease for 3 years hasn't helped with cravings and snacking. The muscle disease keeps me from solid exercise. But I cooked Breakfast for my family yesterday and ate a single strip of bacon and it was entirely amazing.

Not sure what my point is here. Super excited to be thinner and reduce future health issues for sure!!! That's a big one. But the little guy that sits on my shoulder is worried about what my diet will consist of and what I'll enjoy going forward. I know i'll need to find another focus maybe. Especially to be successful.

Bottom line, physically I'm entirely ready for this, mentally i'm nervous about my future. Weird?

I am having surgery April 26 (in 4 days) and am feeling the same way!! My pre op diet has been a roller coaster- good days and times of cheating!! I am nervous about the loss of food- but know my relationship must change.. I am just scared of the unknown I guess! I am sure these are normal feelings right before such a life changing surgery!!

      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! 😞
