I'm scheduled for November 8. Nervous but excited. I just turned 50 about 6 weeks ago and I feel my life is just about to get started. I'm praying all goes well.

Wondering if anyone can help me find a loophole here...

so i need to be at the hospital at 6am, and its about 45 min away (when you factor traffic). I currently live about 20 minutes away from my parents house (which is my legal address). Trying to think of a way i'd be able to vote, but polling places open at 6 (my district is 20 min away, not sure if i HAVE to vote there, first timer...)

IDK, anyone see a way to vote and arrive on time?

So I'm in the check in room waiting to be called back and now it's kinda hitting me. I did sleep a bit but still vary tired. I'll check in again once I'm out.

I slept 2 hour the day before my surgery and taking naps as I sit here in my hospital room. Best wishes, you'll do great!

Hmmm. Bring some good sweats and slippers, lip balm, I brought my iPad and iPod. Glasses, they wouldn't let me bring contacts for obvious reasons. I think those are the biggest helps this far. The lip balm has saved my life, they still have me NPO ( nothing by mouth) and my mouths so dry and lips would have been chapped, definitely my best friend so far, and sweat pants are so comfortable, I hate sitting here naked though lol.

Did you not have early voting? If not that's a bummer, I was able to vote absentee this year

Well they sent my ballot to the wrong address, and by the time I found out it was too late to go to the elections office and I'm in the hospital right now.

Had my surgery the 6th. Home now just a little discomfort. Hospital staff was great worst dry mouth ever the first day. The only way to sum up the discomfort is a punch in the stomach by a big brother. Well going to get comfy in my own bed so good nite all and god bless.

      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! 😞
