That's a great way to ring in the new year! I just can't wait until Wednesday is over and I'm on my way to a healthier me.

Nice to see a MA thread. I'm having gastric bypass on March 12th with Dr. Schneider at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. So excited! Started the process in November can't believe it's almost here!

Congrats!! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Almost 3 weeks post op (surgery was 3/12/14). Went back to work today, AND.....I went to the gym!! So proud of myself, feels good!

You look so happy! Good Luck! See you on the losers bench

I had my son take a before pic of me the day before my surgery. I had the same reaction when I looked at it, OMG what was I thinking allowing myself to be caught on film! But I know I will be glad I took it when I can look back on it and see how far I have come.

Recovery is going very well actually. Haven't had any trouble with nausea or keeping things down. Well so far anyway (fingers crossed). I'm having some back pain along with abdominal. I'm just a little concerned because I had an incident where my 2 year old daughter kind of jumped off the stairs into my arms, I had no choice but to catch her. I hope I didn't cause a hernia. I can't tell if it's just normal post op pain or if it's something like a hernia. I have my post op appointment on the 28th so we'll see.
Otherwise I feel like it's going great! I have no regrets!
The good thing about the pre op diet is it means your super close to your surgery date!
Are you excited or nervous?

Good luck tomorrow Annymarie! It'll be over in a snap. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Wow twins? I give you credit there! I also have a 12 yr old boy who I was hoping would be a little more helpful. But at the same time, it's not his responsibility. So I just keep pushing through. This is something I really wanted for me and for my kids so I will survive these little hurdles.
13 lbs? Congrats!! That's great! I haven't weighed myself yet. I'm only 4 days out, plus I figure there's a lot of Fluid built up etc.. I'll wait until 1 week.

Hi everyone, surgery was yesterday at 11:15 Dr said everything went well. I was in A LOT of pain last night. Today was a little better, still quite a bit of pain but it's an improvement from yesterday.
Had my GI test this afternoon and that went well. Just started sipping on Water two hours ago.
Just taking it one day at a time. No regrets!!
Glad to see others are doing well too.
To those awaiting their surgery, best of Luck!!

Tomorrow is my big day!! Good luck to everyone else going in tomorrow!

Hi Faith, I'm Casey. I'm also having gastric bypass on Wednesday. I'm nervous and excited!

March 12th for me!! Good luck on your journey!

I haven't had my surgery yet (march 12th) yay!. But my program says 600-800 calories during stage 3 and eventually you should work your way up to 1200. However, I agree with everyone else you shouldn't worry about calories yet. My Dr. Says #1 get your Water in!! And #2 get your Protein in!! So that's what I will be focussing on.
Good Luck

You look amazing! Your an inspiration! My surgery is March 12th, I love hearing and seeing all the success people have had. Congrats!

March 12th for me!! Can't believe it's almost here! A little nervous but super excited for all the positive changes to come!
Good Luck everyone!
It's a lucky month...luck O' the Irish

I can totally relate to this thread. I'm scheduled for surgery March 12th and I haven't lost any weight yet. I'm starting my pre op diet tomorrow. I really hope I can lose a decent chunk. I'm so freaked about being turned away come surgery day. I wouldn't say I've been binging but I've had enough slip ups here and there to keep me from losing any. It's so tough!

Hi everyone, my surgery is scheduled for March 12th. Starting my pre op diet tomorrow. Hopefully it goes well and I can loose some weight before surgery. I haven't lost any weight as of yet. I would be devastated if they postponed my surgery for not losing enough weight.
Good Luck everyone!
