i am so excited anxious and scared. november 6th here. just washed all the clothes and folded everything. cleaned rearranged my daughters room. my mom will be with her with the two nights i am in the hospital.

im really sad and emotional thinking about her and if she will be sad without me. i love her so much and it will be hard to be away from her :( but i am excited! ive been prepping her for surgery and explaining how she cant touch mommys belly lol

i went to Walmart tonight and racked up!!! luckily my Protein Shakes (they changed the packaging for the atkins) now you can get 6 for 5.78 of the vanilla instead of 4 (strawberry). i spent about 70 dollars. i kept forgetting i have to buy food for my daughter lol! but i did pretty good. i feel good. i got my hibiclens to wash, my Calcium citrates and my Vitamins. im really ready.

monday is my birthday and im working a full day. the hospital is supposed to call me between 1-5pm to give me my surgery TIME! they called me on friday to pre register. that felt good and made it feel more real.

sigh. im so scared of the pain afterwards but i had a c section so i think i can handle it. i cant wait to see everyones responses and i hope we all have a safe and smooth surgery. praying for all on this thread and November sleevers!!!!

I'm ready for the 5th. I was fortunate enough not yo have to go on a pre-op diet so I have been living life as normal. I live 10 mins from the hospital and have purchases everything possible.

I have my Isopure Water in the garage keeping it cool, and will be going to the gym today while the family bakes Cookies to avoid the temptation. Only slipped once out of the two weeks. Still need to get a couple items for the hospital. So glad the 6th is almost here.

Hi ! Are you drinking enough Protein ? I get to have sugar free Jello and do use it if i get a bit hungry before my next shake . I try to not watch tv and that helps.....Are you going to post from the hospital to let us know how you are? Do you know how many days you will stay there? Thank for responding !

I don't think I am , I am suppose to drink 5 Protein shakes and can't seem to find one I like enough to drink it. I do plan on posting from the hospital I am taking my laptop. For my Dr he normally has us do a two day stay in the hospital after surgery. So I will definitely keep you updated on my progress.

I'm having my surgery on Wednesday, November 7. I am worried my liver hasn't shrunk. I have been on my pre-op diet for two weeks and have lost 12 pounds. Wishing all good luck with their surgery this week.

November 5th for me!! Nervous as heck. I am almost packed, have all the liquids I will need for the first week post op. I even enlisted my hubby and son to help rearrange our family room in an attempt to trick my mind into understanding that: "HEY, this room is different....NO MORE MINDLESS SNACKING HAPPENS IN HERE IN FRONT OF THE TV" :rolleyes:

Good Luck to all...

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
