I haven't joined any groups yet but really need to. My surgery day went smooth and my dr told me everything went better thn expected as I also had a hiatal hernia repaired at the same time. I'm healing pretty well so far but am getting hunger pains and still have the pain in my left shoulder though. Can't wait for that to be gone. But watching my weight go down 1/2 pound every day is totally worth it!

Im having my surgery on May 10th!!! Thats only two days away. Ive gone shopping and have my Protein shakes, new pillows, Water, broth mix, flavored water packets, Jello mix, liquid Vitamins, and GasX. Can anyone suggest anything else I might need? I live alone and although my brother will be bringing me home from hospital I will be recovering on my own for the most part (I do have family nearby who can I can call if I need them, thankfully).

I must say I am excited and scared--hope it wont be too painful!!!

I got children's Tylenol and Motrin in liquid form. That way I didn't have to take the prescription pain meds if I had pain that wasn't terrible.

      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!!
