My surgery is scheduled for January 28th. I had my pre-op appointment last thursday and all tests done, including EKG and have been clear. Now just waiting for the 28th. I'm excited...but, scared at the same time. :)

I have my pre-op Tuesday, surgery the 27th. I'm second guessing if I can do this. I'm no longer terrified of the actual surgery or recovery, still worried, anxious of complications. I just don't know if I can do Protein Drinks, supplements everyday forever. When I see it typed out, I think what the heck, it won't be a big deal. See, I am bi-polar and have to take meds every day anyway, maybe it won't be as hard to just add more pills to the mix?

Ugh, I'm so confused.

Jlmckee,

I understand what your saying but keep your head high and know that you will be great and healthier once everything is complete. I have an appt. Tuesday for retest for H Plyera bacteria if that is clear, looking and praying for surgery date by first week in Feb.

My surgery is at 7am tomorrow morning, have to be there at 5.30am, sucks as hospital is nearly an hours drive away.

Started my Magnesium C and clear liquid day early this morning, other then a lot of stomach gas, so far so good, only one bathroom visit as of yet, but not looking forward to it once it really starts working, I had to drink 2 x 10oz bottles, had the Walgreen's grape ones, its ok but highly carbonated, I think that's making my stomach hurt the most. Wish me luck.

I have to be there at 530 too! I had my mag citrate at 10 this morning. I hope I'm a bout done, but it still coming. I was hoping to get to bed early, I guess not. Good luck to you!!! See you on the other side:-)

      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?

      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... :(
