I'm definitely ready for surgery. Bought a fitbit so i can record my steps and flights and I'll also log what i eat on my fitbit android app. It also records your sleep pattern because the correct amount of sleep is also important in losing weight.

I fully expect everyone on here to whoop my behind if I slack behind.

Long day. Home from the Cardiologist and EGD. The ticker is working good, got some medication for my blood pressure, and found a small hernia which helps with my insurance;) Got instructions for pre-op diet which is phase 1 of the South Beach Diet. Surgery date is June 15th and I am super excited and ready!!!

cfurrey...This is an exciting time! It's natural to be nervous. You made this choice for a reason. Take a deep breath and remember why you are doing this. It's going to be hard, but soooooo worth the journey. We will all be here to support each other. You can do this. I am 54 years old and not nervous at all. I'm not sure why, maybe my excitement has taken over. I have less than a week and can't wait! Hollar if you need a pick me up!!! Big hug!!!

I have thought about this for a long time and decided this is what's best for me to get control of my health and my life , time for me to make better choices for my health and this is it, we will do well or we would not have made this decision.

I have been adding crushed ice to my Protein Drinks with a little sugar free pudding powder shaken in. It has made the drink thicker and tasting better. I am trying to get one down a day with low carb high Fiber the other two meals.

I am 58 yo and at the low end of the BMI scale ( 35) I weighed 325 , lost 127 pounds but have not been able to keep it off. I was down to 198 but have slowly crept up to my preop high of 242. I am hoping to regain a sense of control and my health back since I don't want to go back to my previous weight. Banding scheduled for 6/5.... have had lots of surgeries so not nervous but wish it was over.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
