Weight Loss Reality
MSinger and 7 others reacted to blizair09 for a post in a topic
I am six months post-op today, and I have lost 85% of my excess weight so far (184 pounds). And I have no reason to believe I won't lose the rest (33 pounds). It is all about devotion to proper food intake and exercise. -

Pre-Op Diet Starts Today!
queendeborahbee and one other reacted to kins117 for a post in a topic
Today is day 1 of my pre-op diet and I'm so excited to be finally counting down to surgery on April 12th! I'm traveling internationally for work next week and trying to figure out how to pack all my protein shakes lol but I'm hoping the traveling makes the time go faster. I'm super nervous, but very excited to start the rest of my life! -

Thank you both for the support! I took your advice and have started crossing off the days as I go! 9 days left until surgery. I can do this! -

Surgery was a success!
LilEngine reacted to nocturnalgemi for a post in a topic
My surgery (bypass) was yesterday the 27th. My surgeon said everything went well. He also repaired my hiatal hernia. Aside from the gas I was inflated with, I haven't had a lot of pain, just discomfort (I'd say 3 on a scale of 10). I took a nice long walk yesterday to help. I've been sipping icy cold water, which I know some have had problems with. Later this morning, I'm being discharged. Then the real fun begins. [emoji4] -
1 pointMake sure you are getting enough protein and water/fluid intake. Not getting enough of either one of these can contribute to hair loss. I'm not saying the shampoos aren't a good thing but make sure you're getting your nutrients as well.

1 point@@jbrooks_rn Well that sounds miserable! There where times in my pre-op I just had to take some zzzzquil to sleep, it also kept me from being up all hours of the night hungry!

1 pointI had to stop one of my meds completely because it did not agree with my sleeve at all. I also had to change one of my meds from extended release to the regular kind and take it 2x/day instead of once in the am. No big deal though, it was worth it for the surgery.
