Congrats and good luck to all the Oct 1 sleevers who are kicking off Sleevetoberfest with a bang!!!!

I can't believe how many of my fellow OctoSleevers will be three or more weeks out from their surgery when I finally get mine on the 25th. I hope to join all you guys and gals on the losers bench soon. Happy losing!

I have to arrive at the hospital at 830a tomorrow. At least I will be able to send my kids off to school before I leave. I drank the magnesium about 3hrs ago and I've been shatting my brains out ever since. Gosh I pray that I will be able to sleep tonight and I haven't been able to trust a fart since drinking the magnesium :/

Only here on this site is that even understood...lol! I'm too tickled :D I don't have to drink mag b4 mines, thank goodness. I assume this two weeks of liquid only should clean us out B-)

I figured that might ruffle some feathers ;-) yes, I am glad to have something to chew. I'm on Optifast 800 & eat 5 meals a day. 3 have to be shakes but the other 2 can be bars. I am also allowed plain celery &/or plain cucumber slices if I need something else to chew. But I'll be in your same boat after the surgery...

YUM CUCUMBER! Wish I had one now :)

Im on day 6 of my liquid diet and my mouth is sooooooo dry. I drink 2-3 Protein Shakes a day. chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Powder shake. I add bananas and peanut butter for extra Protein. But know that the reason my mouth is dry is cause of Water. I need to drink alot more. Cant wait til the liquid diet part of all this is over and i can eat actual food again. I think this is the hardest part. My surgery is the 10th and as it gets closer. I get more nervous. It will be here before i know it.....

      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... :(
