I love reading all the positive comments that everyone says. It's inspiring. I had to do my sleep study last night at home and have another night tonight. I looked like a big dork with that head gear on! ha ha. I start my pre op Protein Drinks tomorrow. It's going to be a test of will for sure! But I know it will be worth it. I'm so glad I found all of you on here! Thanks for sharing your lives!

Oh my gosh - here I am on day 3 of the liquid hell. My surgeon require 14 days of Optifast. First two days were horrible. Today, not so bad. But maybe I am just resigning myself to it. March 18th cannot come quick enough.

Every day it gets easier. I know it seems as if it would get harder but it actually doesn't. The first day was the worst, by the 4th day I was ok. Stick with it!

My surgery is March 7th ill let you know' date=' good luck![/quote']

I think it's different for everyone. By day three I was off all pain meds( including Tylenol) but I was still tired. I was a bit sore, but not bad. I suggest napping when your baby does and keep a supply of entertaining videos on hand. Depending on your weather, walks outside also help. Good luck! I was banded 2/19 and I feel wonderful!

This is my Day 3 (surgery was on Monday) and I am still pretty sore in my abs around my incisions and also in my shoulder and around my diaphragm (the muscle you use to breathe). My back is also sore from a lot of time in bed I think. I have tried to be up and about as much as possible and actually walked 30 min on the treadmill today - walked very slowly, but I did it!

If anyone finds a magic cure for the gas pain please do let me know! My husband is picking me up some gas-x tonight so hopefully that will help. It's just miserable.

I'm also having trouble drinking enough. I feel full so fast and I don't want to push things but I'm having trouble hitting the 6 cup minimum my doc recommends for liquids. A challenge!

I was really excited last night to get started, the Protein drinks arent to bad (better get used to them i guess!) My surgeon is having me do the month long liquid because of my starting size. I will be around on here as often as possible! Here to listen and help as i can! Hoping the month of February flies by, im so excited to start slimming down and feeling good![/quote']

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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
