Hi Jessie, do you have to fast from midnight till after surgery? I don't know my time till the day before so this Sunday afternoon they will call me. I hope it's early in the morning I get severe shakes and headaches if I don't eat Breakfast.< /p>

Kcamp...I'm doing better, thank you for asking. I just called and for my surgery time. Its tomorrow at 1pm, so my arrival time is 11am. I'm feeling much better knowing that there's a high probability of my "stroke level" blood pressure decreasing, my diabetes being resolved and my severe back pain subsiding. How are you?

I'm hanging in. Counting the days! Thanks.

Do you have to do a bowel prep?? My surgery is Monday, they said they'd call on Friday. But I can only have liquids and my laxative on Sunday:-( yuk. Good luck to you, I hope to hear how great we are all feeling next weekend!

I have surgery Monday as well and I don't have to do a bowel prep at all. I am just having a hard time keeping my sugar up. It's been in the low 70's all day. Any advice to keep it up. My surgeon wants me to eat yogurt, sf fudge sickles and sf pudding but nothing is doing the trick.

I had a 2 day bowel prep called MoviPrep. It didn't work until 4 hours later. I had the worst abdominal cramps BUT it worked and that's all that matters.

Oh wow, I didn't realize some people have to do it for 2 days. I drink my Moviprep tomorrow starting at 6 pm. I couldn't imagine having to drink it for 2 days.

I drank it in October and I gulped it down as fast as I could to get it over with. Lol. I'm not looking forward to it again.

I am 3 days post op and still so very sore. I had the open RNY so I didn't expect to bounce back so fast, but my ribs are hurting so bad I feel like I've been hit by a car! I have my follow up today so hopefully I get to go home to my own comfy bed :)

Was the open RNY your choice or were there circumstances involved?

      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... :(
