I'd been hoping for may 21 all along so I said let's schedule it and she said may 21 was full so I got the next week (28th) bI had to hang up before I got busted on my phone lol. She just said call back for my pre op. they were already gone so ill catch them Monday. ð

Hey Ginger!

I'm doing pretty good so far I'm on Day 4 and not having any issues really. I bought the Baratric Advantage from there office. Its enriched with a lot of good vitamans and such. I think all there bags have 35 servings in them so I bought 2 bags to be sure I had enough! And yes they fill you up and I was suprised! I take atleast 3 a day and then have a WW meal for dinner. I think I have dropped 8 pounds already!!

I got my approval today! I'm scheduled for May 28th.

Well, we willl be going in for surgery on the same day the 28th of May. I was thinking of getting mine pushed up, but i think it is to late, they are most likely booked up plus I am a little scared anyway. Hope everything goes well with you. I start liquids on the 22nd.

I'm doing pretty good! Just relaxing and getting up and walking around a 2 hours. Surgery went awesome! Didnt have any issues in recovery other than switching beds. But you will be taken care of!

Hey Kellhale! I just posted on another thread about a support group that meets a the Illinois Bariatric Center in Champaign the first Thursday of every month at 6:00. It helped me a lot when I started out, and I really encourage anyone to go at least a few times to meet people in the same boat as you!

      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.
