Two weeks to go



Recommended Posts

I'm down to the last two weeks of waiting. I'm pretty nervous but I am confident that I am making the right decision. (that's still not helping my nerves though lol). Does any one have any suggestions for me on what I should bring or what I should make sure that I have at home when I get back. I also wanted to thank everyone for their posts on this site, the information that I have gathered as well as the words of encouragement that I have received are appreciated. I can't wait for the new year and the new me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, i can't really answer your questions i've not been sleeved myself yet but just wanted to say i know how you feel. One minute i'm excited and the next as nervous as hell.

I keep writing lists of things i'm going to take with me that grows daily and i probably won't use any of it but i like to be prepared! I have one tub of Protein Powder for when i come home and Jello and will see how it goes.

I was very off/on with it before my surgery too. Looking back I should have been 100% for it! Chin up!

Get a heating pad, broths, Jello, and sugar free pop-cycles before you go - cover your basics at least. cool.gif

      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... :(
