Those new to surgery who are scheduled for today - don't worry. Follow your docs instructions and take advantage of pain relievers as he or she instructs. Be patient, the first few days will be rough, but move around, walk as much as possible. Believe me, it will make you feel better faster by getting rid of the trapped gas in your innerds!

My thoughts and prayers are with you all! I'm day 3 post surgery and really feeling pretty good! Will be up and doing some chores around the house today, walking, SIPPING (my biggest challenge is not drinking too fast).

Keep us all posted on your progress!!! Hugs to all.

My surgery is tomorrow morning and I cannot wait! This liquid pre-op diet sucks! I am so hungry! I'm hoping and praying that I will be like many of you that are not hungry after surgery. Right now, I could eat a freakin cow! Good luck to you all, and see you on the other side! :)

So I'm starting my pre-op diet tomorrow. Except my boss has decided has decided to spoil us with food to thank us for a job well done. Tomorrow I have no idea what I can do he's ordered portugese chicken and steak sandwiches and rice and roast potatos...I knew the day would come at work where I would have problems but I didn't expect it to be the first day of pre-op. I'm allowed chicken and non-starchy veggies with FF dressing. I think I'll have a piece of chicken and salad with a little bit of dressing. I'll stay away from the sauces and bread etc.

The second is a BBQ on Saturday but I should be okay. I'll once again stick to a piece of chicken and I'll pack my own salad.

I just don't like starting out on the wrong foot!

My other problem is that I've been having trouble with my kidneys. My surgeon said it was okay to proceed with the surgery and my GP said it should be fine but he'd prefer me to meet with a specialist before the surgery to get an expert to okay it. Well that was 8 weeks ago and they haven't contacted me for an appointment. I'm just worried my GP is going to try and make me stop the surgery (I'm self-pay so its up to me in the end).

Oh well, over all I am super excited and ready to start my journey. I have completly stopped 'dieting' since I was approved for surgery and I actually feel bloated and disgusting. I'm looking forward to being forced on to my pre-op. I will take my official pre-op weight tomorrow morning and am hoping I can lose 5-10lbs before my surgery June 22nd.

Well I've been scheduled for surgery at 8:15 am in the morning 6-12-12 I'm super nervous I've never been cut on before so I'm getting jitters for sure! I've already lost 23 lbs from the liquid diet I've been on for two weeks so I'm sure my doctor will be happy. I'm a June bander too! I just turned 29 on 6-9 so this is a good present. Oh and just incase any one hasn't heard of banded Wendy on YouTube her videos are very helpful!! And skymoon's videos

Lol your becoming a surgery pro. It's kind of sad I'm willing to have surgery to help me loose weight. I'm so tired of being so big that's whats pushing me through. I havnt told everyone about this just close friends and stuff not all of Facebook or anything. My husband is a little nervous since two women have left him after loosing massive ammounts of weight. Anyone else's spouse worried?? Don't get me wrong he is still super supportive.

      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.
