Looking for a buddy... I'm pre-op for the sleeve, due to get it done in September. Anybody? There doesn't seem to be a NJ Sleeve Support group :(

First I was getting a little discouraged because of the Clear Liquids, but now that I'm on full liquids, I feel like there is hope. I'm experimenting with a lot of Soups, I feel like the best thing is variety. You do get tired of drinking broth, and tea. Another thing that is my saving grace are the sugar free popsicle sticks. I'm actually looking forward to purée diet next week. It is very challenging to get the Protein that you need, because I think that is essential for energy. And Multivitamins are important.

That's OK, you don't have to declare if you don't want to. My stats are in my signature :)

      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.

      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! 😞
