Friday is my surgery!



Recommended Posts

So this is my first time posting on here. My surgery is set for this Friday! Feeling excited, nervous, scared, anxious and ready! I've been preparing for this day for over 9 months now. I've been struggling with my weight since I was a kid. I'm 5'3 and 220 pounds. My heaviest has been 235. I'm so very thankful I have the support of my family. I know this will not only change my life but theirs too! I'm ready to do this!

The liquid diet has been challenging. There have been days where I want to eat everything in sight but then I remind myself of the big picture! Keeping busy also has helped me. Sitting watching tv makes me want to snack so I try to find other activities around the house to do!

Im on Friday too and I didnt have a pre op diet but I think I should have because I have literally eaten everything I can think of. After my restaurant tour you guys will have quite the head start on me. Good luck to everyone!

angry- I'm the same way! Only 1 day clear liquid! I kept calling my surg. coordinator and was like "are you 100% positive it's only 1 day??" She probably just looooooved that!

      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.

      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! 😞
