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 have a surgery date of March 13! I'm so excited! I really am having a tough time with the pre opt diet though. I have been trying to keep busy and when that fails, I sleep. Hope you all do well with your surgerys. Good luck!!!

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.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
