I'm an August All-Star now too! (thanks MeMeMEEE for cluing me in on this space)

August 24th, my 34 and a half birthday! Looks like there's a few of us on that day.

I'm jealous of you guys/gals who get to go sooner, but I can wait. This might sound silly, but I watch the moon when I have something that seems far away. The moon changes so quickly, so I think - well, the next time the moon is full, I'll be almost there. And then it just passes quickly, even with checking the moon every night.

I will say I'm a bit nervous about the 2 week all liquid pre-op. I have this feeling that I might want to stab someone in the middle of it. We'll see how it goes.

Oh, and I don't have a time yet. Is that weird? The scheduler said they'd get back with me on that. I do have a pre-op appointment for 8 days before my surgery, and a phone call in to the nurse to ask her things like, "can I keep taking my b/c pills?"

So much to figure out still, even though I've been researching this for seven months now!

I don't have a time yet either so I don't think it's weird! I love the moon idea!! My preop is 3 days before. My Dr requires BC to be stopped 1 month before - BIG letters in the instructions and my NUT told me they have canceled surgeries because of it so you may want to call!!!

We have the same date! Good luck to you :)

Good luck to you too, Debbie! I saw in another post that you wanted to lose about 130 pounds, so our goals are pretty close too. My doctor said I should lose about 115 pounds. I'm 5'7", so my BMI is 40.

I'm glad to get in touch with other people who are going to be going through the same thing "with" me. :) I was told to plan to spend about two nights in the hospital, and I start my pre-op diet on July 30.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
