Good luck to all of you.

I'm doing alright, up and walking, sore, gassy, so thirsty! Getting ready to my upper GI leak test, then hopefully a nice drink. My bladder had a hard time starting up yesterday, but once they took me off the morphine, I was good. Best wishes fellow sleevers!!!

Glad to hear you all are doing so well!!

Is the leak test difficult in any way? Hard to drink the stuff(taste or otherwise)? Uncomfortable?

My sleeve date is 9/21 and trying to prepare best I can....

Congrats on taking this step, making a healthy change for life!!

Honestly, my drink was gross! It was the worst tasting lemonade ever. And it was hard for me because my surgeon also fixed my hiatal hernia and the liquid could get through... But it turns out all is well and I just got the clear for phase 2 liquid diet, woo hoo! Can't wait for m skinny days to come!! :) good luck everyone!!! I've been up walking, doing stairs, and everything. They kept me one more night, but I'm totally cool with it. Take care!

The upper GI was a piece of cake! It does not taste great but you hardly have to drink any and it goes quickly. I got to watch it on the screen too so that was interesting :)

I hated all of the unknown! It is nice to have this forum so you can ask questions and figure a bit of it out ahead of time!

Congrat to you all. Welcome to the losers side!!!!!

The GI leak test is fine. You stuff you have to drink isn't too bad and it's just a couple of sips. It'll be fine.

      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! 😞
