That's great!! Congratulations! It will all be so worth it for all of us! Just think about how you will feel and look a year from now! I almost can't even fathom the thought of even being under 200lbs! I haven't been there since elementary/middle school! How exciting!!

What has been the most challenging thought for everyone here?

Mine has been just wondering how I will feel skinny... It's such an odd thought for me. I never even thought I would see the day when I won't be "the fat girl" in the room.

i am nervous and scared at once. Now that I have my date I can't stop thinking about the "what ifs".

June 12 for me. I'm so nervous I haven't been able to sleep. Am I going to be able to make this lifestyle change? Is it going to be worth it? Am I going to be sickly and miserable for the rest of my life? I need to quit reading all the horror stories of this surgery on the Internet.

I'm on the May June fence. No surgery date yet but I have my PreOp tests Friday and my physical/ medical clearance on the 14th. So guessing I shouldn't be far out after that. I start group support through the center last night and had a fab time. Trying to stay positive and believe that this is going to work for me. I'm a band to Rny revision. I still have my band in.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
