Good luck everyone, please let us know how you are doing after surgery.

Day 6 of pre op diet is going well, I weighed myself this morning &have lost 4 lbs, it's encouraging to see that dial go down! It gives me more stamina to stick it out until surgery. I'm tempted to snack on my son's food though! I'm finding coffee in the afternoon helps me curb cravings.

I can't have veggies. No food. Only Protein Shakes, broth and cream Soups. Sf Jello, sf Popsicles, crystal light and those type of sf drinks. That's it. I think I'm doing good considering, but what I wouldn't do for some fried chicken! But I'm hanging in there!

Congrats! My surgery also went well, although I had nausea off and on all of yesterday and even threw up a little which freaked me out. Today I am very bloated, they say I need to walk a lot today. Overall I am okay just some soreness in my belly but nothing major.

The weird part of this al is that as I sit here (I'm in the hospital soon) I keep thinking....did I really just do this!!

Congrats ChicagoRose I did get some nausea last night I thought I was going to vomit but nothing came out! My recliner and an ice pack over the port has been my best friend! Do you have an appetite yet? My Dr said I can have broth and Protein Shakes 30 grams today but I have no desire not sure how that's going to happen??

Surgeon just called to discuss my flipped stomach with me. He let me know that there is a chance that he may run into problems with me during surgery & not be able to band me. Please keep me in your thoughts that all goes well tomorrow a.m. Thanks.

I will keep you in my thoughts. I hope everything goes well, but if he can't band you tomorrow stick with it and find another solution.

It's strange the bottom of my stomach is flipped & is at the top. Hopefully he will be able to put it back in place & tack it with a stitch then band me. The GI Dr said it is flipped upside down & it is also a complex hernia. The surgeon said he has never see one before & if he cannot get it back in place he cannot band me. Said I will have to go to a thoracic surgeon & have it fixed before banding. I know there is a long term solution but just hoping it is an easy fix & only 1 surgery. :) Thanks all.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
