4 days post op. feeling great, went to work today. I know that seems soon but I mainly just drive around and talk on the phone for my job. I had a Protein Shake this morning and Some Tomato Soup here in a few minutes. This will basically be the first time I've eaten in over a week. I didn't like the broth so I basically just kept drinking Water for the last week. Almost no soreness at all. Down 24 pounds including preop diet.with Dr. Elias Ortiz, this is been so easy it almost scares me.

My surgery is in the morning at 7:15am in Roanoke VA with Dr Tananchai Lucktong. I am so nervous I am trembling!! I have never been in the hospital before except when I was born! I trust my surgical team and am sure I will be fine, but can't stop trembling!

fotogrphr, how are you feeling today? It's Day 2, and I hope you can sip sip sip, walk walk walk as someone on this forum wisely suggested. Every day is better!

Hi Everyone! I've been creeping on here for a while, and thought I'd finally make an appearance. My surgery is tomorrow morning (Jan 21) so I'm on liquids now. Hasn't been too bad so far, I'm not hungry at all.

I haven't told anyone I'm having surgery except for my husband, boss, and a couple of very close friends.

I really am not very nervous about tomorrow just ready to get it done.

You have all been a huge help getting ready for surgery and through out the process. Thanks so much!

Saying goodbye. Going to drop the group as I'm officially not going to be sleeved. Not sure how this all happened, but insurance won't cover the sleeve now. I'm debating bypass, but have a couple of weeks to decide. Wish you all the best on your journeys to the new healthy you! It was fun while it lasted.

So sorry to hear that. They will cover the bypass but not the sleeve?

Gross out alert! --- Surgery tomorrow and I've been on liquids since the 18th. I feel like I'm doing a colonoscopy prep! Did anyone else have problems with the runs while they were on liquids. I wasn't really worried about it before, but now I'm really concerned about being on liquids for 2 weeks after surgery if this is the outcome! Ugh!

      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?
