Hi sleevers and future sleevers ! Super excited again, surgery on this Wednesday and nobody can steal my joy! I'm all set, I only lost about 6lbs since on this 2 week pre op diet, but I still have two days so hopefully I get to 8 or 10. I worked out everyday this week for at least 45 mins and its getting easier. I'm so ready to get this done. I bet I will be the happiest person in the hospital Wednesday morning thats thrilled to have surgery . I will be sure to keep everyone updated before and after surgery. And everyone that's on the 25th also please update also. Have a good night.

Mine is this Wednesday as well. I have read your post so remember you are doing this for yourself and don't worry about the nay sayers. Good luck to you and a speedy recovery...

Hey guys, just a piece of advice: I don't know how it's been for everyone else, but I wish I had NOT stocked up on some things. I bought a TON of Jell-O and can't eat any of it now. Also, I bought lots of Protein and 4 days after surgery it didn't like being in my stomach anymore so I had to switch. I wish I'd just gotten a little bit or samples. Things taste different, go down different, and settle in your belly different after surgery.

Yes you are right. I'm still in the phase of trying Protein Shakes. I know I've seen people responding on what Protein Drinks they are using and everybody has a different answer. Keep trying different protein drinks until it fits your liking. This is what I'm doing for now. I wish you the best on your journey.

I was 9/19 I wish I could have a Protein Shake lol I'm on clear liquids for 2 weeks GRRRR LOL How are you feeling since surgery?

I'm a day after you and my doctor have me drinking a Protein shake in between my liquid meals. I'm feeling okay. I just have gas and acid reflux feeling a lot. I walk and it feels better. I hope you are okay.

Please, if you just had surgery... STAY OFF THE SCALE... you did not gain 100 - 150 lbs in 3 hours, you are NOT going to lose it in 3 hours just because you had a major surgery, your body has just gone thru a MAJOR JOLT... your body is going to SWELL, making you GAIN weight........ it is going to take you almost 3 weeks to start FEELING OK...NOT GOOD, but OK.. Give your body time to HEAL, ADJUST. Try to get in as much Water and Protein as you can... do NOT ask can I have this, knowing when you went into surgery you will NOT be able to have it... follow your Dr orders or someone that has BEEN WHERE you ARE... YOU will NOT be HUNGRY.. it is head hunger. so do not come here and say I AM HUNGRY.. you are not.... get serious as to why you did this surgery and you will succeed!!! Best of luck to all of you. I linger between 125-129 and I do NOT freak out that OMG I gained 4 pounds, get used to it NOW

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
