I am getting very nervous and excited. The time is finally here! I kinda have cold feet though. Is that normal? Hoe many cuts do you guys have? Are they about a inch long? I just have so many thoughts and feelings and questions. Lol

Hi there!

I am getting banded, TODAY!!! :D My family is having lunch and then we are off to the hospital. Not really nervous, but just ready to get it done. I could kill for a drink (of water) right now and unfortunately for me, I am getting hungry...ugh!

Wish me luck!

I can't seem to get rid of all the gas. That's the only thing that's driving me crazy. I did really good most of the day' date=' but whenever I drink something it seems to get worse. Ugh....ready for it to be gone. I am getting hungry! My hubby cooked a really good meal tonight and I soooo wanted some, but I wasn't about to risk it. I think I'm getting hungry because I'm not drinking enough Protein. I just haven't been able to stomach them like I could. It seems to leave a yucky taste in my mouth all the time. Trying to keep hydrated, but it's hard.[/quote']

I haven't been banded yet, but I understand the gas .. The shakes are killing me!!

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

      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! 😞
