I had my GI scan w/contract to make sure no leaks. The stuff tasted like pine sol. Gross. But' date=' everything checked out. They have me doing to the spirometer tests alot. They started me on liquid Lortab since they took away the morphine pump. I this real hard to get the liquids in. I didn't expect it to be this difficult. I just think I'm still in shock that I've done this and won't be fat the rest of my life.[/quote']

I had a gastrography scan last week, that contrast liquid taste like draino, pine sol and a whole lot of liquid hell!

Met with my surgeon again today. Hoping to released sometime this evening. It feels so surreal after the surgery is done. That's all I have been thinking about. Thinking, wow, I can't believe I've actually done this and I WON'T BE FAT FOREVER! Such a cool feeling because now it's reality there's no more questions about the surgery getting done for some dumb reasons. I can't wait for all of you! And thanks for all the support and prayers! This is the best birthday present to myself ever!

I hope I feel this way after my surgery. I'm having serious panic issues right now. I think I'm more terrified about having the surgery then afterwards. I've never had any procedure that put me under like this. Just trying to keep busy.......keep us posted when you get home :)

I'm down 28 pds on this liquid diet and I just have the rest of today and tomorrow. I'm on Clear Liquids on Monday (that is really going to suck) and surgery on Tuesday. Having serious anxiety issues right now but I think I'll be ok. Good luck to those that are in the beginning stages of the liquid diet. You all are awesome and can do it :)

You actually lose more weight with bypass vs sleeve and for my surgery buddies that had surgery this week or prior is anyone else bruised?

Hi guys just wanted to post update. I have been taken off the operation list for Monday 6 May my bloods were apparently not encouraging and surgeon wants me to resolve the elevated liver enzymes before the roux en y. Not quite sure what to make of this second postponement. I'm praying that my liver is ok and bloods improve. I suppose being cautious is prudent. I thought the gall bladder was the problem but there seems to be a concern that in case it's not i may not be healthy enough to proceed with the wls. I wish everyone the best if I'm cleared for surgery I think I'll post operation instead of raising my hopes up. But I'll continue learning from all of you and trying to loose on the Protein diet. All the best to upcoming surgeries.

      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
