Hello everyone I am having gastric bypass surgery on March 17th. I was initially supposed to have the sleeve but due to a small tumor found on my stomach I had to switch to gastric bypass with a tumor resection. Either way I am very excited and nervous. Good luck to everyone!

Same here!

Mine just got moved to March 2nd it was initially for the 17th but someone cancelled. I’m excited but nervous lol I start my pre-op diet tomorrow.

Im feeling the same so many emotions at once my surgery is march 8 good luck on urs!

Same as me!!! Good luck to you!

3 months post op and I feel great!

I wonder how it feel after being overweight all these years to finally be at a “normal” size again. I was pretty slim all the way until my mid 20’s then I just put on like 70 lbs over a course of 15 years and I didn’t really notice until about 5 years ago and been trying to lose ever since. I lost 20 lbs here and 30 lbs there but always put back more so I finally made the decision to have wls. Idk how I’m going to feel to be back to my normal weight it’s exciting and a little scary at the same time! How is it for you guys?

I just got off my 2 week modified liquid diet yesterday now I’m on day two of my full liquid diet and I am STARVING... I’m pretty sure it’s mind over matter but the struggle is real!

Yes not too bad today I’m not even hungry. I had two Protein Shakes and a sugar free popsicle. I’ll have a piece of salmon or chicken breast later but really I’m not in the mood to eat. It does get easier I can see that.

Wishing you the very best and you have a wonderful attitude. I will be thinking of you everyday and you got this!😎

My surgery has changed to March 2nd omg I cannot wait so tired of looking like this.

My surgery is scheduled for 3/17 cannot wait!

Yes I know I have an end goal so that makes it a lot easier! I’m so ready for this and I am just grateful that I was able to get this surgery because no everyone could. I am definitely not going to cheat!

Still in the preop process

I'm ready! Hit my pre-op weight plus 6 extra pounds. Meeting my case manager Tuesday.....I'm excited!

These are pics from December to now, I can see it in my face!

Hoping to get rid of this double chin before our next family pictures! Surgery is March 15th.

I started my preop diet yesterday and it ain’t easy lol I stocked up on Protein Shakes and sugar free popsicles but nothing else. It is definitely doable but it’s hard not going to lie. Any one else feel this way?

It’s very tough, not going to lie. I’ll be cheering you on from the rhythm section ❤️

I had to follow my Weight management center's "New Direction" shakes, Soups, bar or sloppy joe meals only for 12 days and then Clear Liquids for 2 days. I just counted off everyday as one day closer to my surgery and new life. Everyone survives but it is not easy. I used a lot of healthy self talk to keep going. I have to admit when my husband made pizza the good smell was over whelming but I did not cheat at all.
Because all the foods I had to use were very high Protein I experienced the Keto "flu" by day 3-4 but it went away.
Keep your head up and maintain a good attitude. This to will pass. 😁

I am on the 10th day of my liquid diet. I have to do 2 weeks. Surgery is Tuesday the 23rd. I am fed up with broths so I have moved onto orange Power Ade Zero. Mixed with my Protein Powder it tastes just like an orange creamsicle. The sugar free popsicles I have too but they taste tart to me.
Good luck on your journey. The smell of food will be overwhelming for you but then the thought of eating it will disgust you and then you will feel SO proud of yourself!! In 10 days I am down 23.6 pounds!!

Yes! Keep that motivation strong because you are worth it! I’d try Tim C’s super Protein Shake too. Probably help keep you feeling full.
