I just found out yesterday that my surgery will be July 30! They moved it up from August... It's really great to hear that so many of you are doing so well early on postop.

:o You are allowed to have all that so soon after surgery?

yep! The full liquids im on for 2 wks, includes all those plus a few more things (yogurt, popsicles, milk-based soups). every surgeon is different, though, and some other ones are allowing their patients things like mashed potatoes and egg salad only 1 wk after surgery! I have been really lucky so far - NO Constipation, NO nausea, NO trouble getting in liquids or Protein. i was so frightened, thinking the absolute worst would happen, and every day is better than the one before. i wont weigh myself till i see my PCP next wk, i made a promise not to obsess over the scale, but I lost 20 lbs pre-op. also im having a better time getting up from bed - that was tough the first couple of days!!

      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
