Beyond anxious. Wondering is my house clean enough the the hubby ok taking over my usually duties. Dear god I hope he feeds the dog. Etc I'm shakey and anxious yet excited and impatient.

Well, day 7 of 14 of my preop diet has come and gone. It's been touch and go the past few days, but I won't complain. Each day I wake up feeling lighter and try to use that as my motivation to stay on track. Getting more anxious and excited by the minute.

So today as I should be doing homework but couldnt focus so started reading over my paperwork for my procedure. I see they will have me listed as NPO (no food or drink) for 24 hours. Oh really so they are going to give me meds and no food. I just got scared. My stomach is so sensitive if I have asprin on a empty stomach I will vomit.

No worries you will be hydrated by IV. Aspirin is an irritant to the stomach. So it is understood that aspirin on an empty stomach would make you ill. Stop worrying. It will be ok. This is what we all have been planning for. You can do this! Rest tonight, the new you begins tomorrow

I'm the 21st as well. I live just north of chattanooga. Where! Are you?

I am having surgery on the 21st as well, and I grew up in Athens, tn. I currently live in Kingsport, Tn. I originally had my done in Dalton with Dr. Jaime Ponce. I love Hamilton Place. Where do you live? Is your Doctor? How old are you? I am 28.

I'm actually having mine at Blount Memorial in Maryville. My friend works for Dr Johnathan Ray and he was also her surgeon. So I decided to do it there. We live in Georgetown it's about 25 minutes from Hamilton place. I am 34. Good luck tomorrow!! Keep in touch we can support each other! :)

      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
