So today is Clear Liquids. Then to the hospital for 6:30am Wednesday. It is getting very real and I am scared as hell. I shouldn't be since I have been watching my rockstar wife for three weeks since hers. I just keep thinking what could go wrong and what if I never see anyone again. I know it is stupid but seems really valid today for some reason. I am normally a very optimistic person but I am worried. Well time to put on the big boy undies and make today great so that tomorrow I can start to live the rest of my life!

Good morning! I am excited as well. After years of being dissappointed with my insurance, I decidied to finance my surgery. I will be having my surgery on the 8th of February which is next Friday. My family and friends are just as excited as I am! Forgot to mention I am from Dallas, Tx and I will be having my surgery in Dallas at Forest Park Medical by Dr. Dirk! The funny thing is that he was going to perform it 8 years ago and then everything went south! I went back to him in January and he along with his staff remember me! Love it! Good Luck to all of us February Sleevers!

Hello all, my name is Katrina my pre~op date is this Thursday the 7th and surgery is scheduled for Feb. 19th. My surgeon is Dr. Thomas Umbach in Las Vegas. I am glad the day is almost here but I am also a lil scared now that it's all so close and is now so "real". I have been on VST since October and have got a lot of info from fellow sleever's. I am still a little confused on how were supposed to get in all our Water & Protein, but i'm sure I will figure it out after surgery. I am glad this forum was started thanks Liz :} I wish all much success with surgery and there new life :} I'm sure I will be asking lots of questions to all my fellow Feb sleever's hope ya'll don't mind

      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.

        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?

      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... :(
