Surgery date is 10-30-13! Super SCARED and nervous!!! I start my 2 week liquid diet Wednesday. I'm currently at 282.

I have my surgery on the 30 th as well. I go to my last class Tuesday and hope to find when I do my liquid diet then. I'm excited but so nervous. How r u coping?

Well, only one week out from my surgery now. I'm not feeling nervous or even excited yet. It's come up on me so quickly and I have so much to get done beforehand. Having a full time job, going to school part time, three kids and a house to get ready for company, since I have family coming out to help me out post-op, has got this girl a little over tasked right now. School has me more stressed out than anything right now. I'm really hoping not to fall behind over the next couple of weeks. At this point I just want to get the next few weeks over with and get on with my life.

I'm also a week out and starting to get completely stressed. I also work full time. I feel like I have to have my house perfect for while I'm

Gone and when I get home. My hubby wants to stay at the hospital with me so I have to make a schedule for our son and all that good stuff! It gets stressful!

Did you have a lot of pain right after surgery? Did you follow a strict diet before surgery? Did you ever cheat a couple of weeks before surgery? Sorry to ask so many questions. My surgery is on October 29th and I am starting to get very nervous and excited! :)

Everyone take care and send prayers my way! I will be back on the other side of this journey in a few days.

I have about an hour before leaving for the hospital and my surgery. I was doing okay until my oldest daughter (9) asked me why I had to go. :( Anyhow, pray for me and the surgeon today. I'll let you guys now how it goes. Already really thirsty and so not looking forward to the gas pains that everyone talks about.

We are surgery buddies! I don't have to be there until 10:45 am though. I would have rather gotten it done earlier. Prayers your way.

      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... :(
