2 day countdown! Have to sign in at the hospital at 5:30 am on Monday morning. (All you other 3/11 people, don't forget Daylight Savings goes into effect this weekend!)
Nervous but ready.

Update, got a call back from the Dr. office. They'd be happy if I lost 5, but as long as I've lost since I started the process (I have - 30 pounds), I am just fine!

Phew! Bullet dodged.

I hope you are right. I'm waiting to hear from the Dr. office to see if there will be a problem.

That's just a little more than a week past my surgery (3/11). Good luck!

I'm going with Bypass because I used to have a lap band, which totally didn't work out for me. And to me, the sleeve is similar in function and outcome as the lap band.
I discovered that I REALLY need extra help dealing with what goes in my mouth. Because of the malabsorption aspect and the "outcomes" of eating the wrong foods I felt the Bypass was much better for me. I want to eat correctly, but 65 years of habits are hard to overcome without some serious help.
Plus the Bypass has been around so long, that it's success is proven.

This is day one for me, so I'm feeling a little empty. Luckily my week one allows for a lean meal everyday. Week 2 is hardcore shakes only.

Roxine, congratulations! Great job! Such a good story to see just two weeks before my surgery. Good inspiration for me and others. Thank you for sharing.

Claricey, how are you doing? I started Protein Shakes today, how about you? Seems like it is going to be a long 2 weeks!

I figure the longer I am without my trigger foods the easier it will be to avoid them. I hope I'm right!

Recidivist, you’re not alone...I’ve had a few goodbye parties but I’m ready to be done and start shakes on Friday.

I'll start pre-op diet on Sunday, but I'm pretty close to that already. My doc has 2 Protein Shakes and 1 lean Protein meal for the 1st week and just shakes for the second week. I have protein shakes ready to go, I'm on specific pre-op Vitamins now and will get my list of post-op vitamins on Tuesday. I had a meeting with the program coordinator this morning and I've lost 15 lbs in the last month so things are looking good!

My surgery is March 11. Mine is not quite a revision. I had lap band 2009, had it removed Oct 2018. Now I'm going for bypass. I know some people are successful on sleeve, but in my mind it's a physical variation of the lap band. No thanks.

Claricey, I'm also on 3/11! Excited!
