Today will be the hardest......emotionally preparing as well as the liquid diet. One more day until your new life begins! Everyone at the hospital is very calming and it goes by so quick once you check in. The power of positive thinking will get you through. Just imagine where you will be in one month, six months and a year from now. Unrecognizable as your former self! The surgery will go smooth, the pain will be less than you imagined and your recovery quick. So excited for you!

Wow, your incisions look great! I'm assuming you went home today. How are you feeling?

Yes got home yesterday and feeling okay for most part. Pain which is expected, and I'm having a problem taking in the right amount of liquids but I'm slowly getting there. I was pretty impressed with my incisions as well, much better then I expected :-) Off to sip and sleep ;-)

I started this Albany section and I've slacked my friends, so sorry. Was sleeved last month, October 7th and I am now down 50 pounds and feel amazing ;-) I'll be posting pictures soon. Glad we got a couple more people. I haven't found the diet to be restricting at all, as I really have no desire for food. I found a great Lemonade (so tired of water) that follows the restrictions that has helped me be . Able to get my liquids down, which I'm doing with no problem. It's Minute Maid LIGHT. 15 calories a glass and sugar is only 2 grams :-) Hope everyone is doing well :-) :-) :-)

Thanks for all of the welcome messages! My surgery will probably be in Cooperstown, because those are the doctors I know and love now for 25 years. The Team Meeting is next week, and if I am approved, then a date plus insurance ok are the last steps.

I anxiously await all stories and suggestions. At age (nearly) 62, the next phase of my health cannot begin soon enough for me. If all goes well, perhaps soon the worst of my arthritis pain will be less. Woohoo!

Thanks for being here, HCB

Holly Clare, I feel the same way. I will be 50 two weeks after my surgery and I feel like I get to write my next chapter. I deserve to enjoy the second half of my life. I have my final cardiology clearance tomorrow. My insurance requires it within 30 days of my surgery (Dec. 11). I haven't been given an actual number of pounds to lose since I'm diabetic and have had a terrible time losing, but I will be rearranging my diet drastically. Low in carbs, higher in Protein, and clean. Onward and downward!

BrickHouse, Rensselaer is just up 797; used to work near there-I am off exit 22 on 87, Selkirk. I doubt that I shall have surgery before December 11th, but please stay in touch. I have a lot of detractors, but am happy for this place and nearby folks and encouragement.

      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?

      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
