Recommended Posts

Stay strong, have you had your surgery as of yet?


Dont beat yourself up over it Bary. This is all new and its said that it takes 30 days to break a habit and 90 days to start a new one. [emoji4] Im trying to prepare myself to not be hard on myself if/when I slip. WE CAN DO THIS!!! 🤠

I start mine on the 16th of October I think, (Need to see calendar) but yeah, that part is going to be hard for sure. Glad the Optifast Soup helped. Where did you get them? I had been on Optifast also years ago and it helped, but didn't know if you could get outside of them giving them to you. The 16th will be here quick [emoji4]


I think you owe yourself a HUGE pat on the back for doing so fantastic at the store!!! Yaaay you! [emoji106]

My surgery is October 3rd. I'm doing the Pre- op liquid diet it's going well. I don't get hungry at all. I am so ready for this journey BRING IT!!! Nothing to be afraid of this will be the best thing I ever did for me. I have a friend that did this one year ago she weighed two pounds less than I do and we are both 61 years old she went from a size 26 to a 12 . So did my daughter she is 37 and lost 132 pounds in a year she is two years out and has kept it off she looks amazing. Her husband is 38 and went from a 6XL to. 2XL . Best of luck to all of you!

I started my preop diet a little early because I thought, what the heck, I am committing to this new lifestyle so I need to truly commit. This has been the first lifestyle change that I have committed to in over 3 years. So far, I am on day 6 of my no carb two week preop diet and have lost 10 pounds so far! This has just been motivating me to keep going. I haven't slipped up once on my diet. I feel so proud. 10 days away from surgery and I am feeling more ready than ever. Good luck everyone!

      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! 😞
