Congrats!

We'll be under at the same time. :) From what I've read a couple of things you must take are gasx strips and a heating pad. There is a whole thread pinned on this under the pre-op forum.

Good luck! It will go well for both of us.

Well I officially joined the losers bench as of yesterday. The surgery went well, but I had a hard time coming out of anesthesia. Then swallowing the Water nod Protein Shakes. I guess because I was on so much pain medicine. Started dry heaving, that is no fun at all. But this afternoon so much better. I never once got nervous or scared pre surgery but on a side note. I don't know why I didn't think of it, I have a area that is severely caved in on my stomach. The dr says, well yea, its where I took your stomach out. Mmmm, might have to blame on the drugs.

I too am on the 26th. Today I started a five day, 1000 calorie a day diet. After which I will switch over to three days of liquid and then time for surgery. Glad I don't have to do 8 days of liquid.

Bring a pillow for the ride home to help with bumps and jolts from the car, that's what I've been hearing.

My doc would not let me use gas x strips - she said it was better to let the gas come out on its own. The heating pad was also a no go.

So! I'm 4 days sleeved! Thanks for all the well wishes. I spent 2 nights in the hospital because I just couldn't manage my Protein. I didn't throw up or anything but I just couldn't do it, Id fall asleep with the cup in my hand. I felt nauseous. It was hard and I definitely had some "buyers remorse" on Tuesday. I felt horrible once they pulled me off the pain medicine pump. I was allowed to go home yesterday and haven't had pain meds in 2 days. I'm about 75% better, trying not to push myself too much knowing it could set me back more. I'm doing my protein and walking and everything I should be and just hoping for the best results! Good luck all!

      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?

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?
