I am getting so anxious/excited for surgery. I am starting my clear liquid diet a day early. I am still paranoid my liver won't be small enough.

Keep thinking of the day I can donate clothes and get the big sizes out of here. My husband flies in today from Ft Bliss so he can take care of me.

I am right there with you. My surgery is Thursday. I'm a basket case from crying to laughing to plan being silly. Best of luck I wish I was 2 days

I was so excited that I couldn't wait. Everyone asked if I was nervous and I never felt that way. The idea of someday having kids or riding crazy roller coasters or even buying a beautiful gown for my brother's wedding or being able to encourage others for the Lord all outweighed my fears....I am 2 weeks out of surgery and it's an adjustment but praise God it's been great!! Focus on the blessings this will bring to your life and look at the surgery date as your new birthday :)

I think I am freaking more because mine was so fast. I only just went to the doc April 23 and said yes that day I wanted to do it and had my surgery date for May 17 the next day. So I learned a lot fast. I really didn't have a long time to wait. No long diets just 8 days of 1000 calories and I'll have a liquid day Wednesday. So I am very blessed to be fast and no long waits. I'm glad it was quick. Only thing I freak about is did I learn everything?

My journey was kind of fast too. I thought about this off and on for 10 years and decided in February that I wanted it and here I am.

Tomorrow will be a long day and possibly emotional. My new life will be starting

      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! 😞
