Hello everyone!

I just joined this forum after doing an internet search...and it looks like everyone here has some great stories and advice!

I have surgery tomorrow...and I'm nervous as heck!!

I'm 29 years old, live in California, married and have a 7 year old daughter.

My highest weight was 293, staring weight before liquid diet was 292 and I weighed in yesterday to get my "final" pre surgery weight at 277...boy did I struggle with that. The liquid diet was so hard, but it got easier.

Finally registered at the hospital as well, they didn't say I couldn't eat...just not past midnight..wondering if I should have a "last meal"....haha.

Well, that's pretty much it. I just wanted to introduce myself to everyone. Hope the pain isn't too bad after surgery. I've had a c-section before and that was painful!

Thanks!

Welcome! My surgery is on Thursday and I am on all Clear liquids tomorrow. I am going to miss my Protein shakes as I have gotten used to those being on the liquid diet. I wouldn't have a "last supper" if I were you just because I wouldn't want anything to get in the way of you having a successful surgery.

Best of luck tomorrow!!!

Congrats! We all wish you well.

P.S. About the "not eating past midnight" thing, it's a little late in the day now but I'd advise fasting for the rest of the day. It shouldn't be an issue operation wise but if you're like me and a host of others you have a tendency to get constipated after anesthesia, and take my word for it, it is NOT pleasant to bear down and push hard to go after abdominal surgery.

      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?
