well, tomorrow is my surgery day @ 7:30 am. I'm first up for my doc, I'm so EXCITED! I can't believe the day has finally come. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME, I'm scared to death but oh so ready to be on the post op side of this forum

Congratulations and good luck. It's great being on the looser's bench.

Good Luck!!

well I'm finally homeward bound....HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Have you started losing any weight or am I just overly anxious, surgery... 12/26. I am now at "DOS - day of surgery" weight, as it took a while for the fluids to get out...

I weighed myself for the first time yesterday and I was 1lb over day of surgery weight... I think I have gotten out most of the gas so hopefully the scale should start heading south.

Thanks for the info - glad to know that I am not alone...

Today I plan on weighing myself when I go to the gym. I won't buy a home scale because I don't want to be a slave to it. I need to take my measurements to see if anything has changed since my DOS

Bought a homes ale and will weigh in when I wake up!

I'm in the hospital for dehydration and blood clots. Please pray for me.

I will pray for you .... You are in good hands now.

Sleeved 12/28 - BMI 30 .... I am doing everything as instructed. I feel great, nothing makes me queasy ... But my weight has basically stayed the same since I got home a week+ ago. I am ingesting 60 grams of protein/ 650-700 calories / walked 3 miles yesterday. But no change on scale.

I am starting to panic that this is not going to work for me for. It has to work.... right?

ugh

I feel the same way!!!!!!!!!!! surg 12/26 , BMI was 33... I've lost 3 lbs!!!!!!!!!! WTH, my recommended intake from the RD at my surgeon (US surgeon) was 90g Protein, under 450 calories... and I have followed that to a T, and walking 2.4 miles daily... call in with the RD today to go into soft food phase... will see what she says, and report back... I have that same feeling, am I the one person this won't work for, really? Also let me say my ticker is wrong... I have not lost 12 lbs... 3 to be exact, starrted at 178, went up 10 post op due to fluids, got back to 178 about a week ago, since then 3 lbs lost... 174.6 on the scale today...

Girl take care of yourself. There should be no gym only a week out of surgery. This is crazy to do to yourself. U just had major surgery!!
