Alright day 2 post op. in pain and hurts to get up. Doctor said surgery went excellent and no complications at all. Need to get up and walk more but I'm so dizzy when I do and then get super sweaty cause I'm exerting so much energy.

Today's my day too! Good luck, I just got to the hospital and going to register soon.

Thanks! And I will for you too

I am from the Milwaukee area, and highest weight is 317, have to be at hospital at 5:30 tomorrow morning and nervous lol

I have to be at the hospital in 24 hours! OMG I'm freaking out! I'm so excited/nervous/ready to be on the losers bench! I know it's gonna hurt and it's going to test my limits but I am ready. I have prepared, researched, and wanted this for a year and a half and I am interested to see where this takes me

Wow that's actually really surprising lol and lots of surgeries this next month! Less than a week away for me! So nervous!

Awe sorry about that, yeah it's hard. I didn't want to still do the surgery and all my family being so far away and mourning. So I have a little bit to prepare more. Thanks for the support guys it means a lot

Well I was supposed to have surgery this week on Thursday but my grandpa died this morning and I don't wanna miss the funeral :/ so I reschedule and new date is August 5th. So now I'm an August loser? Lol

Ok so I discovered Kellogg's to go mixes that have 13g protein. You mix it with skim milk and that's another 8g. I also added oats to it, another 5g. That's 26g for half a cup of awesomeness. I decided to double it lol I am so full right now. Wish I would have discovered this earlier! 52g of protein and about 250 calories later I am ready to start my day! Surgery in 2 days, went shopping yesterday and got stuff so I'm prepared. Also picked up papaya enzymes just in case later on lol. So excited now!

Ask DLCoggin, He has a whole spreadsheet of stuff full of Protein and whatnot. I have it in an email form, if you want to email me or you can ask him for it klzeien@yahoo.com

So three days left of liquid diet and I finally discovered the Atkins shakes lol they're SO much better than mine lol yay

Thank you. That really helps with calming down lol. I want to be able to walk my son down the aisle too.. And just be able to go to the park and play with him and not be on the bench cause I can't do anything without getting tired. He's very energetic so I'm looking forward to getting my energy back. Just don't want to regret this decision!

Surgery is on the 25th, and I'm so scared of dying on the table/shortly after/4 months later. I have a 5 yr old and I don't want to leave him without a mother! Helpppppp

I've only lost 4-5lbs since starting my liquid diet but I can't seem to get all my shakes in maybe that's why it's not really going anywhere :/

Hi Nicole and welcome to the group! You should be proud that you are helping yourself, yes you are young but you want to be able to live and have children; be happy. I've been in this process for a little over a year now, and was a binge eater too. Without even thinking it has taken over my life and after my grandma died in 2011 I didn't want my life to end up like hers and die so young because of health problems due to obesity. Last year I was diagnosed with endometriosis and had to have surgery which pushed this surgery back. I'm doing my pre op diet right now and have surgery a week from now There's a ton of info on here, and lots of supportive people. You'll do great and good luck!

Oh god if I had a nickel for every time I've heard it from my bf. All the I swear if after years and you regain this I'm not supporting you in anything cause what's the point if you don't even believe in yourself. Wow right? Also everyone else and their mothers saying I know a person/ my aunt/ my cousins grandparent/ apparently the whole world has had this surgery and I'm the last to know. And all the horror stories that I ignore because it's not worth listening to. If I follow my doctors plan and stick with it I will be fine. It's a lifestyle change not a get fit quick change. If I have to explain to anyone else that it's not am easy process or that I'm doing this for my health not because I'm too lazy to try the "normal" way I'm going to freak. Plus it's too hot to be arguing with anyone. On the way to and from my doctors appt yesterday my AC in my car started blowing air but it wasn't cold. The drive was almost 2 hours away and omg was I sweating buckets. 7 days til surgery and it can't come soon enough!

Lol it's a good series, same with beauty from pain by Georgia cates. I've got a few lined up for when I get bored after surgery and have already took a walk lol

Lol I did that too. I drove myself insane waiting for it. And now I'm on my liquid diet and keep messing it up :/ But I've been reading the Bared To You series and it's been distracting me lol

Same here! I've been reading and it's been helping distract me lol
