Private room baby!!!! And my surgeon requires a private room therefore it's no additional charge to the patient....I could kiss his feet.

Yeah I do have that I just didn't know if it was ok to take right before surgery (I have it on Thursday). I've just been tolerating it the last 5 days.

It's night and day!!!! I only had to do liquids a week post-op but at 15 days out I'm still really not getting hungry so liquids were more 'oh yeah I need to eat' instead of 'oh my God I'm starving to death feed me now!!!!' It's pretty awesome the difference a day makes!!!! :)

I got out of surgery around 5:30 pm, everything went well, everyone keeps telling me that I look great for someone who just got out of surgery lol, who doesn't love a compliment? But I am in a lot of pain, keep pressing that button for my pain reliever, but don't feel like it's doing much. Surgeon said that if everything goes well I might be able to go home tomorrow evening. I have my own room, yay, don't need to share it with anyone. They've had me taking zips of Water, 1oz every hour. I think that's it for now, oh I tried getting up to walk, I walked for like ten steps, too dizzy, I say down on a chair and started getting nausea so had to go back to bed. Hope tomorrow is a better day. Hope everyone is doing well.

I agree. Somewhere around day 10 I turned the corner. I swear I could go all day without eating. Yesterday was the first day I realized I'd been lazy with my Water, so I'm having to make myself drink. I guess this is what they call the honeymoon period?

Congratulations!! Welcome to the other side! :)

Finally home, had my surgery last night ,now I am home relaxing on my couch, I am having lots of pain, and a lot of gas. :( The gas is more uncomfortable than the pain wish I could just burp it away. Well feeling kind of tired, I think I'm going to take a nap now. Hope everyone is doing well.

YES! I have been on Prilosec or Protonix for 17 years and never felt the acid reflux I have in the past week on my liquid diet. Not even after eating a steak and cheese and onion rings! Omg just made myself hungry again!!!

      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?

      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
