Recommended Posts

Thanks for the replies and stuff. I know my doc just said that it's best to have my liver as small as possible so the surgery will go better. I feel like i've been eating the last supper everyday.. ugh!! I can't stop the feeling hungry.

10 days til surgery - woohoo!

I want to get into a size 10-12 ! That's my goal - I have big bones! :)

Tracy am i reading correctly, Are you approved????

Chris, my MD requires 2 weeks pre-op consisting of 3 slim fast ultima shakes a day and any other non-dairy liquids. It is strange to me that there are so many variations of the pre-op diet requirements also! I'm hoping everyone who had their surgery today had an easy time of it! Have a great weekend, Y'all!

Hello everyone! I had my surgery this morning. I'm doing fine so far. Just feels like someone hit me hard in the stomach... Just Sore! I haven't had any gas pain yet... I hope they don't come later! Seems like I would have them by now. I had my surgery around 9:00 A.M. One advise I would give is not to wear a real nice shirt, because my incisions drained a little and got on my shirt in several places. I never really got that nervous. They kept me busy at the surgery center.... GOOD LUCK to all of you future bandsters.

Well gang, Im now about 18 hours post op. I am suprised that the pain is as little as it is. I hope everyone else has this experience!

Surgery was REALLY fast. From the time they wheeled me to the OR, til I went home was about 4 hours...surgery and all!!!!

I was real impressed with how fast it went. The experience was great.

I started my week 1 post op diet today, which is basically sugar free clear liquid diet. Its not too bad as I really am not hungry at all so far.

Best wishes to everyone!

Greg

Silry. Where are you having surgery and what doc? Most have to go on a pre-op diet. But I think I read somewhere (another thread, sorry I can't remember where) that someone didn't have to do a a diet or much of one. The reason for the diet is to shrink your liver. Saftey for you and for the surgeon.

      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
