February 9th here, i am anxiously counting the days so exited for the day to come. I was happy to not have to worry about any pre op diet, unfortunatly i ended up gaining about 20lbs trying to get all the buffets out of my system.

I am nervous and excited as well. I definitely am not having 2nd thoughts. I started this process two yrs ago and wimped out and it's not happening again. After seeing several friends do amazing and now at goal as well as all the inspirational stories on here, I am definitive on it.

February 3rd is right around the corner - eeek!

I just picked up my 2 week supply of Opti-fast which I am totally dreading and start this Friday. I have also bought the Pre and Post Ops foods, Vitamins, supplements, Protein powders and other stuff to be prepared.

Next, I am buying Papaya Enzyme chewables to keep here for future stuck episodes. Some people say it works, others it doesn't. I will try tho.

I have also been on a manhunt for liquid Tylenol and can't find it ANYWHERE. I am even trying to find it online and get it shipped but to no avail. Hmmpphh, if anyone knows where to find it let me know.

We are RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FEB BANDSTERS!! :)

EEEK is right! hehee reminds me of the excited nerves/fear of a baby on the way, except this time we're delivering our own rebirth so to speak :P yes there is fear of the unknown but no second thoughts and as soon as those negative doubts poke my brain I shake it off! Im working on my list of things to prepare for the event, im getting those papaya chewables too.. and I have to go in next week to get instructions on my pre-op diet! Wish you all the best, here we go!

I just completed my pre-op testing today. They told me once my dr turns it in they can schedule the day for surgery. I'm predicting middle of February. I haven't told too many people yet, just my husband, sister, 2 daughters, and one friend.

I am also Feb 3rd. I started the 2 week liquid diet today. I was ready to start this next phase. They have rescheduled my surgery date 2 times so I am not really excited, just anxious that something else is going to come up.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
