Hi Gloria my date is May 19th. I also have DM 2, not on insulin but I do take Metformin & Glubideride(?) . I'm getting excited & nervous because I know this is going to be a major lifestyle change. I know it's all for the better, so as long as I can hold onto that...I also am on meds for High cholesterol & hypertension. that is why I'm doing this to become healthy & happier! Talk with you again, I hope. ~smiles, Happy Destiny (aka Sheryl)

Hi Sheryl, :biggrin0:

I want to thank you for your response.

I am happy to hear your excited about your op. I am really looking forward to mine too, yet saying that I have found myself eating more than I usually do, dont know if thats the nerves kicking in. I am keen to have a life change,but it seems like its going to take a lot of determination.

So did you wait long to be accepted or was you accepted straight away? I got accepted over a year ago, but the process is soooo long. I had a previous date for October but there was some mix up with the date and not given the correct information....anyway that was then and this is now!!!

How are you coping?

Hi ladies,

I am having my surgery on May 18th in California. My emotions have been a roller coaster. I have very supportive friends and family and that certainly helps. I also started blogging to help me make it through the process. The last week has been really difficult, stress at work has me falling back on food to cope - very, very bad. The funny thing is that I know it's wrong, but I do it anyway - very frustrating. I have to keep my weight steady or the surgery will be cancelled if I gain. So now I have to lose the 5 lbs I original lost and then gained again :biggrin2:.

We will make it through this and the grass will be greener on the other side!

I'm am having to pay all out-of-pocket. The surgery is excluded on my insurance. My only hold up is work. I am waiting because they didn't have anyone to cover for me in April. I have high hopes that May 18th will be the Day! I want to start my pre-op diet early, because just as some of you have said...I've been emotionally eating (not anything new) knowing my surgery is coming up. My pre-op is 1200 calorie diet with Protein Drinks & 1 meal a day. I also want to get off the sugar before the surgery too! I hate those dt headaches.

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
