Hey all! I looked around and couldn't find anything for June surgeries. I don't have my exact date yet, but it will be the 1st or 2nd week of June!! Sooo excited!! I had my lap band out on April 18th and they were supposed to do the bypass, but they weren't able to due to scar tissue. I saw my surgeon today and all should be a go for June! Yay!!!! RNY here I come!!!

I'm almost a week out from surgery and I'm only aloud g2 and chicken broth and sugar free Popsicles. I'm in this diet for another week. And then I do two weeks of puréed food. I'm shocked so many of y'all only have liquid a few days.

I'm still really sore but my doctor says everything is going well.

3 days post op. Came home late last night with a drain. Apparently liquid Percocet is hard to find so they wrote me a script for regular Percocet that I'm supposed to crush. Well let me tell you, I'd rather be in pain than choke down the crushed Percocet. I almost threw up trying to get down one so I've been taking liquid Tylenol and it's working just fine so I'm ok with it. Cvs said they could order it and have it in 1 day, but the pain is so minimal it's not worth the effort to call and get it changed. My goal for the first week is a minimum of 30oz of liquid each day. If its protein, great, if it's just regular liquids great. I won't really have to focus on my protein until after my post-op follow up in 7 days when I progress to a puréed and soft diet. I've managed 18 oz of crystal light today and now I'm going to work on 8oz of protein for the next couple of hours before treating myself to a sugar free Popsicle or some jello. Voila! 30 oz in 14 hours. Lol who would ever think it would be so hard to drink so little. No hunger but a little discomfort from gas. Overall I'm feeling good. Looking forward to a little improvement everyday. Good luck to everyone who has surgery this week.

Did I actually have wls cause my scale sure isn't reflecting it. It hasn't moved in a week. Kinda disappointed.

We're packing to move so the first thing I did was pack that stupid scale. I'm just gonna do what I'm supposed too, work on protein/fluid daily, and go by NSVs until I'm better healed. That darn scale was seriously bumming my joy.

My pre op appointment is tomorrow and surgery wednesday! I'm very nervous about unexpected complications and I hope my liver is in good shape.

I am nervous too. I know I have done everything I can to give me the best chance of the fewest complications. I keep trying to focus on how much better my life will be in a year and at this point trying not to think about what may go wrong.

I am terrified and excited at the same time too... It's such an unusual combination of emotions. It sucks that it takes so long to get to the day... Lots of time to think over all that you are doing and going through and lots of time to over think it!!! So glad it will be over soon and also just beginning!!! I feel like I am getting a do- over.

I lost thirteen the first couple of days plus the 22 that I gained at the hospital. I've lost another 2 since then and that's it. So frustrating.

I'm at a loss of 38 with my preop weightloss.... preop i had lost 20 ... and we had surgery the same day so we're pretty close

I can totally relate! It feels like a go in cycles and this is the 400th time around.

I'm here waiting for the festivities to begin!! #surgeryorbust

So I am currently enjoying my pre surgical breakfast of jello! Let the countdown begin!

Must be that 3-4 week stall I've heard about. I increased my exercise today so hopefully that'll move things along.

I'll be 3 weeks out tomorrow and I haven't lost any in about a week. Very scary and discouraging but I'm just gonna try to be patient!

I have not lost in a week. I have determined to just keep following the plan and pray eventually the loss will kick in. I am out of town this week, and it has been good to not have the scale in front of me to step on every morning.

Who just got her surgery time for tomorrow?!?! <----this girl!! 9am surgery !!!! #nervous #excited #need to get moving!!!
