I cleaned everything in my house, washed my sheets so I would have a nice clean bed to come home to. Packed my bag early. Definitely work with your incentive spirometer if they gave you one. Make a list of reasons you did this to bring with you for when you're having a hard time. Hydrate your skin wig lotion a few days prior (though not the immediate day before or day of according to my doctors plans) - my skin feels super dry now I wish I had thought of that one. And most of all, relax! You're in the home stretch now, get some good sleep and you will do fantastic

that is great!! Just make sure you have your liquids for when you get home too! You probably won't feel up to going to the store to shop for a few days and need to make sure you have your allowed post up products in the house! Wish you the best, let us know how you are doing!!

Same to you smfw! I did some shopping today! And got all of my prescriptions filled. Including the 2 week injections that I'm not excited about.

      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.

      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! 😞
