I know I'm not the only one nervous here but bare with me, I need to get a few thoughts out. Monday is the day. I rationalize it, I explain it but this really comes down to I can no longer lose this weight by myself. I am powerless (step 1) - I have been so powerless I screwed up my metabolism so terribly it basically laughs at me when I want to lose weight now. I know I am making the right decision for my body but.... There is risk in every surgery. I am just so scared I maybe making a really selfish decision and not end up waking up from this surgery. I would leave my 6 yo, who it took 7 years to get pregnant with, alone. This is one time in my life I don't want to be the stand out and have Murphy's law find me. Please pray for me and against these crazy thoughts. I know God is a God of peace but sometimes the longest distance is from your head to your heart....I've been praying for each one of you who posts. We are all embarking on brand new lives in so many ways.

I want to apologize in advance if this is long.

My experience with Dr Garcia so far has been very good. Arrived to San Diego on Wednesday late evening. The original driver Samuel was unable to pick me up. His father was going to pick us up. He was delayed do to construction at the border. Once he arrived, I must admit that the car left much to be desired. We drove to the border where we just had to slow down a bit. Mexico lets you go into Mexico with little hassle.

Marriott was nice. Very friendly.

Surgery was Thursday and it went well. I have very little nausea. It mostly comes on when I wall and my pain increases. O have a JP drain that isn't draining anything. My pain is an intense ache made wore by deep breathing.

From what I understand, leak test will be performed Friday,today, and then clears.

      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
