Wow congrats!!

You guys will all be there around the same time. That's great!

I was only in the hospital for 1 night and was able to come home the next day so I wouldn't have seen many people. But I think Dr. Ortiz has you stay quite a bit longer, right??

Bring:

Chapstick

Slippers

Robe (if u want)

Laptop

Magazines/Books (I didn't read 1 single word!)

Special pillow

Gas-X strips

Glasses if you wear them

Super comfy, loose elastic waist pants

I also brought a loose sports bra that you can get at Walmart

I was super bloated from all the I.V. fluids so even my back felt puffy when I put on my bra so I was happy I had the other kind.

Good luck and keep us updated!!

You'll be fine!

Hi, I just now saw this, so I missed sending you good wishes yesterday. I hope everything went well for you today. Can't wait to hear from you from "the other side." I had my intake today: pschological evaluation, nutrititionist consult, meeting with insurance coordinator, and history and physical with nurse practitioner. I'm excited for the next step, but not really looking foward to the upper GI, consciously sedated or not. But I suppose it will all be worth it in the end.

Olivia I hope things went well today! I've been thinking about you today and hope you're doing well. I'm freaking miserable today!! This all liquid diet is killing me. I've been doing the two protien drinks and a healthy choice steamer for the pasts 10 or so days prior to today. Thank goodness I just have a few more days.

I'm doing so much better! We got home yesterday. My dad had zero problems, but my mom and I had quite a bit of puking. My mom was still pretty sick today, but finally stopped puking this afternoon. I'm so glad it's over!

How has your post op diet been going? I tried the Protein Water but it feels like it gets stuck half way down. So far it's been mainly Water and Vitamin water zero. I've tried chicken and beef broth but I'm just not a fan. How many more days until you're on full liquids?

      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!!

      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
