Nov. 18Th Is Surgery Day!



Recommended Posts

My first post...So, I am a 49 year old wife to 1, mom to 2, and grandma to 2. I am currently on leave from my job to be home with my grandbabies and help my dad after his cancer treatments. Reached my highest weight ever and decided it was time to do something for me. Now surgery is less than 36 hours away and I am more scared than excited. Sitting here debating a final meal or a bowl of Cereal. Tomorrow is Clear Liquids in preparation for surgery. I feel very emotional about everything and am not sure if it's me or if that's pretty normal. It has been very reassuring reading everyone's posts and knowing I am not alone on this journey. Thank you and all the best to you all!

hi I just got out of the hospital on nov 13th went in the 11th for the sleeve procedure. I want to say that the only time it really hit me that this is really is happening was the morning of the surgery. When I went into the OR they held my hand and guided me to the operating table, it was really cold in there. However, they will give you an IV and they will give you something to relax and basically you dont even know why your there anymore once they pump that stuff to make you go to sleep. I say stay strong this will change your life and avoid costly medical problems in the future. you are saving your life. I feel very strongly about this. Good Luck. Remember your getting a new lease on life. Exciting.

Take Care

Reminder to hide your recent activity list on the left hand side of your fb profile , just hit the x beside an activity a few times and it will ask you to hide all... :-) this will ensure the invite to group does not show up there..

      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.

      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! 😞
