Tuesday is approaching quickly and I am both excited and nervous at the same time. You would think this would be nothing considering this will be my fourth major surgery in 6 years. The three days in the hospital should be a snap considering I spent the entire month of October in the hospital after extensive spinal and neurosurgery. However' date=' I am still a little apprehensive about going into the hospital for surgery again.[/quote']

This is my 4th major surgery in 6 MONTHS. I had gallbladder removed. 2 weeks later my left ovary ruptured and was removed, 2 weeks later I had a full hysterectomy. We've got this. We can do it together. My date is 2/25

I'm getting sleeved Feb 20 the just a few days away. I'm starting to freak out, I have to admit I did cheat on the pre open diet and had a small sandwich on Friday :( I don't know what to do! Did I ruin everything? I am back on Protein Shakes, Jello, tea, Water and broth.< /p>

I am set for Wed Feb 20th and am starting clear diet today so I will have plenty of time to get cleaned out before taking the calcium citrate on Tue. This was a tip from an old GP and is helpful. Am looking forward to my new reality!

My surgery is almost here. It was moved from the18th to the 19th. Can't hardly sleep now as it is. Tomorrow I get to have one small Breakfast and then I'm on Clear Liquids for the rest of the day. I also get to do the magnesium citrate. Woo Hoo! Not.

Surgeon said on Tuesday I will be hooked up to 2 IV's since I did clear liquids and the magnesium citrate the day before. Good luck to everyone!!

I am 2/19 too. A bit nervous and excited too. I have a lot of family support.

I too have a lot of family support and it is invaluable to us all. My sister had vsg on 11/7 and has lost 40 and feels super. Mom mom had ruin y bypass in 2006 and because she initially lost 100 pounds no matter what she ate, decided she could eat whatever and how much she likes so has regained about 40 pounds. I hope we can inspire her to reform and keep on the straight and narrow (and thin!) path ourselves.

Thanks ladies I was thinking the worse not sure why he had me on a 14 day diet I'm 5'1 214 lbs. Doc said each practice does it different, different preferences. Doc said I didn't have to do the all clear liquid do three Protein Shakes, Jello, sugar free pops, broth, Water, crystal light which I hate so don't do. For the broth I did my homemade veggie Soup with tofu, drained it to get Protein from veggies and tofu. Those packaged broths only have 1gm of protein.

I don't have the support of my family they are in Florida I am in NY. My husbands family does not know I have not told them I don't want them to know because they are a bit negative I told a friend of the family who I thought would be supportive and was horrified by her response.

I regret telling her anything I ended up telling her I decided not to do it, joined a gym and doing herbalife just to get her off my back.

I hate lying to people this is not me, I feel ashamed as if I'm doing something shameful. My sister and friends from Florida support me they will help me get through this. My husband is also my rock he is behind me.!

      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?

      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! 😞

        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... :(
