Had surgery today! It went so smoothly. I ended up having a hiatal hernia they had to repair. I was also confused b/c i have been on the preop diet for 14 days to shrink my liver and she said my liver was enlarged!!! Anyway, I am home and doing okay. It is more painful than I thought it would be, but not too bad.

Had my surgery yesterday and also had a hernia repaired. I had some pretty bad back pain last night, I'm guessing from the gas, but today I feel really good. I'm so glad my road to becoming more healthy has begun.

I'm scheduled for June 27th. Just one week to go! Doc only has me on liquid diet the day before surgery. I went to Macy's today and returned some of my "fat" clothes that still had tags on them! Can't wait to shop for my new smaller sizes!

I am also having surgery on the 27th. My doc just told me to do an low carb/high protien diet. I think I will do just liquids the last two days to get ready.

I have my parents and my inlaws as well as a few close friends. I don't want to tell too many people because I am afraid of failure. :(

I hear ya! I'm afraid of failing too. I've failed so many times in the past but then again I've never had such a powerful tool as the lap band! We can do this!

Yep! Do you have everything ready?

I have stocked up on Clear Liquids and Soups. I have also made a yummy Soup and froze it so I won't have to cook for a bit. I told my husband he would have to fend for himself. I also stocked up on craft/sewing projects so I don't have to go anywhere or do anything for a while. Just going to rest, walk, craft, rest, walk, and craft.

Don't forget GasX strips, Miralax and sugar free Popsicles for your first two days (from other people's posts). Yes I'm also stocked up on thin liquids for the first two weeks. I'm going to use Atkins shakes too. I love them! Oh I almost forgot, several people recommend using a heating pad for first few days.

      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! 😞
