I Got My Surgery Date!!!!



Recommended Posts

I will be sleeved August 2nd! She offered me the first available date with the stipulation that I would start my liver reducing diet right away. So I just packed up what I would have had for lunch and dumped my diet coke down the sink. I will stop off at the store and the cafe at the doctors office and get what I need for my pre op diet! I was going to say goodbye to all my favories with a tour of all my favorite restaurants and bake one last batch of my killer chocolate chip Cookies, but not anymore! I am done! Hello new me! This will be an adventure! Woo Hoo!! *happy dance, happy dance...cha cha cha*

I had my preop visit yesterday and the count down is on for Wed. After reading over all that paper work, doing all the test, I almost changed my mind. I have been hungry on this liquid diet and it is not fun! I keep telling myself, I have come to far to turn back but I am getting nervous. Since I started the liquid diet I have lost 6 pound since Monday, I am sure it all Water, but I do get hungry and miss eating. We are going to the beach tomorrow and staying down there, any suggestions of creative ideas? I did find out that smoothie King sells a good Protein Drink called the Gladiator, it is very good, but expenise, 7 dollars for a med. but well worth it. I hope my liver is shrinking! Good luck to all!

Yay! My surgery date was quick too and had I known my last official pre-surgery meal was going to be on that day I would have eaten more than a four piece chicken nugget kids meal BUT...I think not being able to "go out in style" was the best thing. Good luck with your surgery. Keep us all updated. You are in for the ride of your life.

      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... :(
