Just got home from the hospital. Stomach feels fine but my chest hurts so bad. They said it is from the gas they used.

I have been home for almost 4 hours feel no gas pains (knock on wood) hope I didn't speak to soon. I checked in at 0545 i was out by 0945 the Dr. fixed a hiatal hernia I didn't knw I had. I'm feeling a very slight discomfort on my port area but overall not feeling too bad and haven'r taken any pain meds. I had a very sleepless night too, i was a nervous wreck!

I have just finished my last Pre-Op appointment and I am 3 days into my Pre-Op diet and surgery is scheduled for Aug 30 at 7am. I am so excited. Funny thing is my blood sugars are awesome on this diet and I feel better already than I have felt for over a year. I am looking forward to the day I can pump my insulin pump away and so many other things.

The end of the month is creeping up. I just went to costco for my Pre/post-op shopping. Bought premier chocolate shakes and flavored water. Not the shopping trip to take on the day you start a liquid diet. I was doing good until I saw fresh mango slices. Stopped at Krogers for sugar-free Popsicles, Jello, and Gas-X strips. I think I'm ready for battle. Bring on Wednesday!

4th day post op and while I feel better I also notice I am not drinking much at all and I am just totally uninterested in anything with flavor that I would have to drink. I managed coffee this morning and that has been it beside a bit of Water. I can't wait to be off thin liquids and on to full thickness liquids. Truely a Protein Shake never sounded so good. Now I am actually craving it. I hope everyone else is bumping along ok with this new situation we find ourselves in.

9 days post op and this is the best I've felt in 9 days!!! I pushed too much tonight and went to the home football game. I could only make to half time. I am now in bed with the heating pad. My back is killing me from sitting on those bleachers!! I'm still not getting all of my Protein and Water in everyday but today was best day. Im getting better!!

How do I join the group, had surgery today. I'm in pain but the painkillers help, they're supposed to knock me out but here I am again...... Wide awake. I know I don't know any of you (1st post was last night) but it helps to know someone is thinking of me and reading my thoughts.

      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!!

      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
