Hope you’re surgery went well. I had mine yesterday and feeling much better today.

Hey guys! I’m having surgery in two weeks!! Looking for anyone have surgery in April that would want to maybe chat and keep in touch or share suggestions. I have my pre op and post op diets but would love to know what kind of recipes you all are planning to try or what Protein supplements everyone is planning to have. Also anyone have to drink Gatorade right before surgery? I thought that was wierd.

anyone know what Vitamins we should have after surgery?? I’ve been waiting to hear back from my nutritionist because I don’t meet with her till after surgery but I want to know ahead of time so I can start buying some.

thanks!

Congrats!! Welcome to the losers bench!! I hope you have a smooth and speedy recovery.

Congratulations!!! Wishing you a speedy recovery!!!

Hi all. I have had my surgery yesterday all went well. But I have to say waking up to nausea and pain wasn’t fun. Thank god for morphine and anti sickness though. Here’s to a fresh start. Hoping to get to my goal within a year. Lots of love and good luck to all of you going through this today and this month. Stay strong.

Congrats on finishing "Phase 1"! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

I also had a revision on the 13th of February. So far everything is going as planned. I’ve lost 51 pounds in 8 weeks. Not sure how to compare the VSG with those that didn’t have lap band revision. I’m thinking each case will vary per person. I’d say stick with doctors instructions and you will have success.

I don’t have a liquid diet at all. But no carbs just lean Proteins in measure quantities. Starting tomorrow for April 24th surgery. Yay!

I’m with you. Also surgery the 24th. Must get that pic taken.

Be strong. You’ll be fine and it will definitely help you with the illnesses

It is so frustrating I am almost 3 years post op and have been the same weight for two years I am pretty sure my stomach has stretched back out and I have to try to maintain my weight I am 2 stone off goal weigh but it’s worth the battle

Decided to post one of my before pics. Surgery date is April 24th and approaching quickly so I figured it was time to snap one!

Hey everyone, just a friendly update...I had an IMR and got approved as of 12/14. DMHC overturned Aetna decision! It was a long process. If insurance is being difficult, take it up with the state. The state reviewed all my records and in matter of days after accepting my case, the decision was deemed medically necessary.

Yes, its very realistic. Get into the habit of doing some cardio to help you meet that goal.

Hello from the UK everyone. My surgery will be the 24th of April and I start my pre op diet on Saturday. I’m 5’4” currently weighing 227. Hoping to get to 125lbs Is that unrealistic?

Be strong. You’ll be fine and it will definitely help you with the illnesses

Mine is scheduled for April 20th.
This is my first surgery ever and I'm so scared and freaking out about everything right now. I've been diagnosed with diabetes and PCOS, so I keep telling myself I'm doing it for my health and don't allow myself to have second thoughts. I'll just make it through and things will get better, I know that.
