J, so happy to hear from you!! I am so glad you are doing well! Good to know it went well and not a lot of pain. Please take it easy, get some rest and keep us posted on how you are doing!

Day 2 on the pre-op....a little more hungry today. But I am proud of myself, as my co worker brought in candy and Mallomars to lunch today, and I did not cave!! When I go home, I ate a SF Jell-O and now I am waiting a bit to have Soup for dinner. Then my SF/FF chocolate pudding for dessert!!

Hello all. For those of you who are/know someone dicouraged about insurance not approving you, I have advice. Do it anyway. Sure, I had to take out a loan to finance it, but I know I will save the money on restaurants, groceries, etc. I was banded at 9:30 this morning and couldn't be happier. I'm ready to start this new chapter in my life! I know it seems like a lot to take on without insurance. I may have to drive my same old truck a little longer, or not buy the best Christmas presents for my family, but they will understand.

My only complaint is the pressure on me to get a cpap machine for my newly diagnosed sleep apnea. I was told I couldn't do my surgery without it, and the nurses in the recovery room said I didn't need it. wonk, wonk. At least my liver was small:unsure:

Seriously, Congrats to all of us!

SO very glad to hear you are coming through with little pain and gas.

I'd love to know how much weight you all lost on your pre-op diet AND how long you will have to be on liquids.< /p>

Hey all! I'm scheduled for Nov. 5th and I'm a little nervous. I know the procedure is safe and I have nothing to worry about but I'm nervous.

I'm on day 2 of liquids and I'm starving!! I miss chewing and can't stop thinking about all the foods that I would love to have one more time. I guess that's what goes along with an addiction.

I'm really excited to start my journey. :hi:

Hi Ashley3819.

Im also scheduled for nov 5th and feeling a little nervous:scared2:. I have been on the pre-op diet for 12 days now but am happy with how i have done i have had a few slip ups at first but now its all good. Good luck to you on surgery day. Would love to catch up and see how you go.:)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
