Hi ladies,my surgery has been scheduled for July 11th, one day before my 48th birthday. I start my two week liver shrink diet next week. I plan to stay focused and lose some weight to get me that much closer to becoming a loser in the best way. I will keep you posted. :D

My surgery is this Wednesday, I been celebrating our 28 wedding anniversary this weekend, its on Friday. I only have to do a two day liquid diet. I have to do the lovenox injections twice a day. The doc forgot to tell me to stop taking my hormone pills. If I would have stop taking them a month ago I would have killed somebody.i am nervous so please say a prayer for me. I know that I have a good doc Alan Posner,Buffalo,NY having it done at Buffalo General.

Hello Guys, I too am a light weight for RNY. But as mentioned before, I also have type 2 diabetes and High B/P. I have the lap band now and have been approved to have it taken out. I'm 5'2 and weigh 213, but I have to do the pre-op diet and lose before having it done. Because I have very thin legs and arms, someone asked me "How do you think you're going to look if you do that". I often worry about that too, but I'm listening to others here and to myself and want to do it for health reasons.

Good evening all!

Ramona here...about to have RNY surgery coming up 7/17/14 God willing!

Definitely am thankful, as I was supposed to have surgery 3/19...but an ulcer detected before in and EGD decided otherwise. Everything happens for a reason and that's ok.

Current weight is 336, starting my 2 week liquid preop diet on 7/3!

Nice to meet the group!

U can do it. The first two days might be hard but it should be down hill from 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.

        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
