Hi Everyone! I had Gastric Sleeve back in 2014 then got pregnant almost a year later and here I am now getting the Traditional Duodenal Switch almost 7 years later. I am currently on the Pre-op diet and down 11lbs (11 days in) I have 3 more days to go :) I've been doing so good sticking to it. I'd love to hear your success stories of the Traditional Duodenal Switch. How much weight did you lose within the first 3 months? I have a friend that had it done over 4 years ago and she also got pregnant a few years later and has kept the weight off. Her start weight was very close to mine. Hope to hear some of your experiences.

I didn't have the traditional DS but rather the Loop DS (Sips/SADI-S) but I was told by my surgeon that the weight loss is about the same between the two. I'm almost 13 months post op so 1 year 1 month (in two more days, anyway). I had to do a 6 month monitored weight loss plan to be approved for surgery to prove to my insurance that I was taking this seriously and they weren't wasting money by paying for something I wouldn't work for. My surgery weight was 321 and at 3 months post op I was 266, so I was down 55 pounds in three months. I currently weigh 198 pounds and am only 18 pounds from my own personal goal weight.

Congrats on your upcoming surgery and the start of a new weight loss journey!

Well, let me change that to 197 pounds now lol. I just weighed myself and I'm 197 on the nose. So 17 more pounds to go... I really should have weighed myself this morning since it's the normal day I weigh in but I'd weighed in on Friday, but I checked just because it's my normal weigh in day. I'm down another pound, yay! So 2 lost last week! :D

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
