5 Days Away From Surgery!



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone!

I am new to the forum and am having my lapband/plication surgery on 8/8. I am excited, anxious, nervous, and all other emotions combined. I am on my liquid only phase on my pre-op diet and hope it gets easier after surgery.

I am very excited to be on this journey and hope this tool will help me kick my bad habits once and for all. One of my biggest drivers to have the surgery is I am 28 and my husband and I are looking to have kids in the next few years and I do not want to pass along my habits to my kids like my family passed along to me.

So excited to start this new life and this journey and look forward to getting to know some of you as we go through this journey together!!

Good luck to you! It is great that you are chosing to do this now before you have kids, etc. Best of luck to you.

I am 10 days post-op. There were some difficult days after surgery adjusting to full liquids, etc. but the surgery itself wasn't that bad. I have been able to still cook for my family and my daughter baked cupcakes last night. They sure smelled good but I know that I can't have and don't need them and have been able to stay focused on my goal.

From the 2 week pre-op diet to now I have lost 23 lbs and that is a great motivator. You can do it!

Hi welcome to the forum, I joined a week ago.

I understand how you feel, I passed my bad habits to my three children, watching them go on diets it's heart breaking, knowing I could have prevented some of it. We are learning as a family how to eat healthy and listen to our bodies.

Best wishes on your weight loss journey!!!!

      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
