I agree with you on the being cold. I was always the guy wearing shorts in winter, but not anymore. Ive been cold since October lol. And the second one that is very important is finding coping skills with life. Many of us used food before, and I think its really important to recognize the feelings and deal with them, rather than ignore them and push them down. Finding new healthy ways to unwind, deal with stress, and find joy have been pillars of my recovery.

Well I started my journey at 315 lbs pre surgery. I got to 275 on surgery day with 10 months of dietician. Today I am exactly two months post op. And it made my day this morning to weigh in at 239!!!!! I cant ever remember being this weight. Besides buying new clothes and having them not fit in a month this has been the most rewarding, hard, scary and fulfilling thing I have done in a very long time. I hope all of you are feeling fulfilled and proud too. Keep up the good work!

I am in Cali. Thank god lol. I did my surgery through insurance. I was honest about my marijuana use. I was drug tested and of course that’s all that came up. I wasn’t asked to quit. Although I did 2 weeks before surgery. And have started partaking again about 1 week after. No issues here.

I know this is an old thread. But I have a Ducati multi 1260. 158 hp. I am pretty stoked to see what it feels like.... I havent riden this year since I started this process. Gonna be fun when I get back on.

I will jump right in with zero support here too. My surgery is on Monday and I have been working so hard to get here. We are doing this for us not for them. So just keep going!

Today I start my week 2 diet which is my "puree" stage. I can have things like egg salad, some Beans, cottage cheese. I dont think I have ever been so happy to try new food. I guess being on a liquid diet for 2 weeks pre and 1 week post is really starting to get to me....

Well I just got home. For all of you that are scared for the surgery or uneasy, all in all it was very easy. It was my first surgery, (as a little kit I had tonsils taken out) and looking back on it there was very little to scared of. The absolute worst part was that I can't sleep in weird places so I was up all night last night waiting for them to release me the next morning. So I spent most of the night walking around staying moving. As far as pain, the worst part is the gas they fill you with, I still feel some of that. So, for all of you that are unsure or scared, you can definitely do it.

My surgery is tomorrow at 4 pm. I am a little nervous mostly excited. I think this is the first thing I have done for MYSELF in the last 20 or so years. Im 37, Started this process at 315, been working really hard and I am at 275. Not much support from my family except for a few of them. I really am just excited, and am not much of a sharer, so I felt this was a good step to share this with everyone. I hope everyone else finds themselves well in their journey!

Congrats surgery twin. Sounds you had a great experience and you’re looking at a speedy recovery.

Personally, I bought some 2 ounce cups off Amazon. I keep my Premier Protein in the fridge and just fill the two ounce cup when Im ready for more. I havent gone back to work yet, But I have a fridge in my office, so I will keep that stocked up too.

Im 3 days out, had my surgery on the 31st. Still on the liquid phase, but tolerating every thing well. Going much better than expected, I was worried at first. Keep it up!Insert other media

The closer I get to my surgery date, the slower the time seems to be going. I keep looking at videos, reading messages on here and just getting more and more excited and nervous. I just want to get it over and done with. I will however be documenting my entire process, I can't wait to tell you all how it all went down.

Just do the best you can do. I didn't come close either.

I think it's pretty normal not to be able to meet your goal for fluids the first few days. They pumped you full of IV fluids in the hospital, so you started out well-hydrated, and you should be able to increase your Fluid intake gradually. How much did you drink in total yesterday? Are you sipping throughout the day? It's basically a full-time job for the first few days. Measure out one ounce at a time and try to drink that in about 10 minutes.

I agree with what others have said: it's going to be hard to meet your intake the first few days. There will be days where you'll have to remind yourself to have something to drink or eat. Just do what you can and really listen to your body. I know for me, i was sooo thirsty i couldnt drink enough. That subsided after a few days of taking my Multivitamins on time and regularly. You'll get there. 2 days out is just the beginning.

Good luck! That’s great that you lost 40 pounds before surgery. That’s a good indication that you’ll do well after surgery, too!

Good luck, and prayers for a good recovery.
