Hello Everyone. My surgery date has been scheduled 2-19-13. I'm 5'1 194. I'm on my 2wk liquids only diet before surgery i've lost 9lbs so far. I will document this journey, so welcome.

Geez. You don't weigh that much. But good luck with your surgery. It feels so final once you get that date.

Good luck on surgery... I am also in near same weight category as you I am 205 at 5 foot and I would love for you to keep me posted how things go for you and your progress.. my surgery is scheduled for march 11. I would have sent private message but cant get my phone to let me or I am just not as smart as my phone .. lol

I had my surgery 2/14. My start weight was 231. My surgery date I weighed 204. I'm 5'3. My doctor said I will lose between 50 and 75 pounds.

Tell me how do you feel and how things went I would love to hear anything im worried about all of it.

I feel pretty good. I thought it would be much worse after reading some of the forums. My stomach is 20 - 30 ml. I Am able to sip Water and broth with no problem. I have sipped a little of the Protein drink but not much. I don't have much gas pains in my chest. I had a little the first day but not anymore. I'm passing gas and urine frequently but no BM yet. What is your surgery date? I still can't believe I finally got it done!

My date is march 11 and I have been worried to death ... but thats me im a worrier always. I have been getting heavier ever since the birth of my first child who is an adult now. Have try lots of diets to lose maybe 20 lbs to only turn around and regain that plus. As a teen I was thin as a rail and now to take a shower walk a few steps do almost anything I am so miserable. My husband is very worried about me and would rather I not go this route but I feel that I have to or I will end up with every obesity related disease that my family has had and I dont want that. Im still young enough to be enjoying life and now I am not because I dont feel like it. Thanks for telling me how you are doing it helps me feel better about this. Sounds like you are doing great .. keep me posted

Penny, I was so scared I wanted to back out. But honestly, it really wasn't that bad. The worst part was the gas. And walking helped that. I really felt stupid after I freaked out so much. You will do fine.

That makes me feel better to hear. Im just scared is all. I have friends that I haven't even told because they have the attitude just push yourself away from the table. Or that this is the easy way out. And thats surely far from true..

Its that painful gas. I hate it. That's one thing in not looking forward too. In not worried about the pain, if i can survive shoulder surgery i can deal with anything. Of all my surgeries that one was the most painful.

I had my gallbladder out years ago n had alotbof pain from the anesthesia. I assume thats the gas pain you mean and it is awful.

Three weeks from today is my surgery day starting to get even more nervous. Next week have to start pre surgery diet..

I'm doing fairly well. I had terrible insomnia last night. My pain is managed with Tylenol now. I have lost 8 pounds since Wednesday . I'm eating as much Protein and drinking about 30 oz of Water as I can. It's so weird that a 2oz medicine cup makes me full!

Are you mixing the protein with the water when you drink it.?

No I only drink the Protein drinks. I like my water plain.
