I am going to BWH, on Halloween, hopefully the staff don't dress up or I will really be hallucinating from the medicines or the staff.

Good Luck Boston Sleevers. I go for my pre-op testing tomorrow. I think the worst part will be getting through the Boston rush hour traffic.

Hi All. I am having surgery November 7th at BWH. Dr. Robinson is my surgeon. Can't wait till it is done and past the first stage. I am really having a difficult time drinking 64oz of Water a day. I generally get half that down a day. I also am discouraged by all the sugar substitutes in Protein Shakes and foods. I have a sensitivity to them. Tera's Protein is what I have been using. The vanilla is great with PB2 added. I have also purchased Jay Robb but have not tried it yet. I am wondering if blending a shake whips too much air into it causing gas issues after surgery. Some things I have been thinking of purchasing are an ice cream machine to make healthy protein ice cream with skim milk and a Yonanas. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.

      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?
