And that's the way it turned out for me, I met Dr Needleman the same day I was assigned my surgery date. Next time I see,him,will be in the OR when they wheel,me in. I'm silly,but I ,wish I could walk in instead of,being passively pushed. I am romanicizing it but I'd like to show I'm not being forced. or such but making this choice actively to have it done.😛😷😛

I have met with the surgeon from the very start, I went in for the sleeve and then through out discussion ended up with a surgery soon for the bypass, I just think the bypass is more intense as far as surgery goes, anyone else feel a certain way about either, opinions would be great!

I feel so inadequate now not knowing my calorie count... [emoji20]

Ours looks similar but I think my shakes have more fat, or some of the brands do. I have a mix of brands because flavor boredom.
How soon did you go into ketosis to shrink the liver? Are there any signs?
Anyone know?! (anxious now that I think I am doing this wrong!!!)

During my pre op diet, I never went into Ketosis according to the pee sticks, but I lost 13 pounds and the surgeon said my liver looked good. If you follow that diet, you’ll be in good shape.

Newbie here. I'm all set for surgery on Aug. 2nd! I'm anxious, but excited to take this step. At times I kinda wish I had taken my endochrinologist's advice and done this 3 years ago, but I wasn't in the right mindset then. I am SO ready now!

Mine is the same day

I had my second endoscopy yesterday and my ulcer has cleared up! I also had my ultra sound, sleep study and a test to see if i have any blood clots. All was good so I should be hearing about my schedule date anytime now! I want to get it done asap as thinking of changing jobs and don't want to start over with insurances!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
