I was a nervous wreck going into surgery, i cried and cried i was so scared. When i woke up, my mouth wasn’t so dry, i was drugged up, and pain freee!!!! It was awesome. A leak test wasn’t required unless i was to say something felt funny or etc, but... i am soooo happyyyy i lost 10 pounds prior to surgery. My dr was The best. Dr Gellman at LIJ. I love him until forever

I am 4 weeks almost 5 out and have a super strict NUT. She has me on full liquids at least until the 31st of this month.
I am going crazy seeing people say at 2 or 3 weeks they are on soft food.< br>This too shall pass.

The 18th of January? That’s awesome

I had surgery yesterday and everything went well. I’ve had one little trouble spot below the center of my rib cage. I started drinking Water today. It’s going pretty good if I don’t have any setbacks then this is pretty much a breeze. I have yet to feel the fullness of my pouch but I’m sipping water & taking it slow. I’ve been taking my pain meds pretty regularly due to that one trouble spot other than that things are going great! Almost time to go for another walk.

I feel calm and ready, despite some nerves. I am ready for the postop pain and changes. I am just afraid of not making it through surgery or having a complication after. All of the normal stuff I guess. I am holding onto my "Why" like nothing else right now. I will never forget the first time I heard about this surgery, I was probably like 10. I was watching the story they did about Al Roker on NBC. I remember watching him as he lost weight and being so excited for him. I wish I hadn't gotten to this point but I am looking forward to getting my life back and being the person I always knew I could be.

You can do this! I’m finishing day 9 of 14 and once you get past day 3 you will not want to mess up your progress!

I wanted WINGS!!!!!
Is like we are alcoholics....and there alcohol EVERYWHERE and we can't drink it. The smells are amazing when we can't eat anymore of it. Honestly, we are addicted to carbs, candy sweets...and now we made a decision COLD TURKEY to not eat it again. I will never judge anyone with addictions again. It takes a great deal of strong will to stop eating the things we loved. Then again, our stomach is so small that we couldn't eat more then 2 oz at the time.lol....I am 3 weeks post surgery. I miss the wings..but I am going to try the Keto diet...all the bread free wings I can fit in three oz belly!!

So my surgery is tomorrow, and i can’t wait until it’s over. I’m Afraid of waking up and vomiting and the pain i May feel, the dry mouth, and etc. I’m a big wuss (lol) but if you guys have had your surgery this year, please let me know on how you felt..... also, i can wait until i can’t eat some food again, atleast some tuna atleast.....

Good luck to you! I hope all goes well. Just remember it will all be worth it in the long run!

Take baggy clothes, slippers, a book and chapstick. Get up and walk as often as you can and keep on sipping your Water. You can do this. Good luck! X

You look so much younger

You look so much younger

You look so much younger

I'm almost 7 months out of surgery and feel grrrreeat!!! Best thing I could've done for myself.

Lookin' good! (and you do too Jersey Jules lol)

Hi everyone- just an update... I’m still doing very well maintaining after 2 years. I did gain 20 lbs back but that’s from working from home, vacationing, snacking during the holidays, and drinking. It’s much easier for me to lose weight now. I can eat about 3-4 oz depending on what so eat. I still always eat my Protein first and my bad carbs last. I take my Vitamins religiously and drink lots of Water.
My life is very happy and I’m still so glad with the choice I made for my life. Having no gallbladder has also been an easy transition. I’m between a size 10-12 and although I gained weight, all my clothes still fit. Exercise is what I’m lacking because I work from home now and have been working at 430am. That’s been making me tired.
Happy New Year... and Ill try to keep posting my updates as best as I can! Hope everyone is doing well...
