Miss Mac here.....Yesterday, I finally got my insurance approval after four months of program compliance. Now I understand what others were talking about concerning a combination of relief and sheer panic. My sleeve date is December 23, going home on Christmas day.......so shopping is done and gifts are distributed. Everybody is doing their celebrating at someone else's house this year. That way, I can come home with my sweetie and relax and heal. Thankfully, I did well enough with the pre-op weight loss - 25 pounds - that I only have to do the liver shrinking liquid diet for one week. My supplies are in and this is getting real. See you all on the other side of the losers' bench after the holidays.

Congratulations! Sounds like you've got everything under control! You must have been working on the arrangements for a while.

I am also having surgery on December 23rd and planned a quiet Christmas. It does seem weird that no one will be at our house. the family usually comes to us, on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We always try to make the Holidays special. But this year, there won"t be decorations, or favorite meals or any visitors. My two sons, with wife and girlfriend are going elsewhere. Since I should be released from the hospital on Christmas Eve, it has to be that way. But we have all committed to making next tear special again!

That sounds different all right.

Also I have to ask..I'm not judging or anything, but is it either ex-wife and girlfriend, or the wife's girlfriend, or some other combination? Just trying to get a feel for you and your family, no judgement :P

      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! 😞
