How are you doing on the liquid diet? I had my surgery with Dr. Eagon the 22nd. You're only 2 days away right? Good luck! I wasn't nervous the day of surgery, I was ready to get to the other side. I don't like the healing process though. It's hard for me to be down physically so I don't think it's actually hit me that I've had the surgery yet because all I can focus on is the pain/incisions.

I went in Thursday to have the surgery. When I woke up in the recovery room, I was told that my surgery took 5 hours! When he went in to do the RNY, everything went well and he was done with that in about 2 hours. Then, he saw a hernia (I knew I had one but every dr before Dr. Eagon would downplay it), and went to repair it. While trying to fix that he noticed my bowels were all tangled up with the hernia so in addition to the lap cuts I have, I also have an open cut on my lower abdomen which makes my recovery a little bit harder. I came home with a drainage tube also so that doesn't make it any better. It still doesn't feel real to me, except the fact that I am not hungry and have to force myself to sip liquids all day because I'm so focused on my physical limitations.

      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... :(
