Four more days here also. Right there with you Rena and miss Tiff. I'm not nervous yet probably that day ill freak out! I just know I'm going to say going into the OR "What the hell did I get myself into here". Hope hope hope I made the right decision. I hope I see the surgeon before I go under did everyone here see there's? I'm not doing to bad on the pre op because I do a shake in the AM then a Protein Bar for lunch and a shake, the I get 4-6 ounces Lean Protein, 1 cup cooked veggies or 2 cups raw veggies and if I want a 1/2 c of a carb and 1 tsp fat. I just make sure I get that 60-75 grams of protein. I don't know how you ladies can do it with just fluids. Well at least it won't be long now good luck ladies!

Good luck to you all tomorrow. Don't be scared you will be fine. I'm 2 days post op and I woke up after surgery feeling like I didn't even have it.

Feeling pretty good. I have to be proactive about my pain meds but the discomfort is very manageable. I get to shower and lose the I'VE in the morning and the surgeon said if I have a good day he may let me go home a day early.

Best of luck!! Hope it goes quickly and smoothly! I have been out of hospital 1 week today. And never felt better.

Took my dressings off yesterday, and the little slits(key holes) are all closed up an healing nicely. My surgeon did an amazing job. Ppl cannot believe how small the holes are and that they did all that work through them.

I am happy with everything, and being almost 21lbs down yesterday since pre-op diet, I feel amazing. And it really does get better every day.

Way to go! I was thrilled when I stepped on my scale yesterday that my weight had not really changed since my pre op weight. I am looking forward to seeing those numbers drop.

Oh they will drop. Currently I lose about 1lbs every 2nd day. And on the other days nothing. But it's still down, so that's all hat matters.

Lol! I woke up and thought the same thing! Even asked my nurse :) I guess I was lucky with the gas pains and didn't have any. Made up for it with other problems though! Lol!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
