Clear Liquids almost done for the day. Thinking I will go to bed early, since I am hungry and there is only so much liquid a girl can take. Tomorrow is the day. Excited, nervous and ready to go. No more fighting myself. Even with this weight I have lost, I know that without this surgery, as soon as I started to eat it would come back on.........just like it always had. So thankful they found this surgery. Good luck to all!!

Good luck tomorrow!

Finally got my date today for RNY..... 5/12. :rolleyes: The office could've scheduled me for 5/6 but didn't want to be in post-op so close to Mother's Day weekend so I opted of the Monday afterwards-- although no eating out dinner plans (will be on pre-op diet)

Still some time out till my surgery but I had already started working out (cardio/lt weight training) cause I want to get ahead of loose skin with rapid weight loss.

Just glad to finally have a date on calendar!!!! :P Congrats to the April folks

Good luck to you guys I have 3 more weeks and the excitement is rapidly turning to butterflies. I am just ready to get it over at this point the whole 2 weeks of liquids before and after is enough to make me want to float but im sure it will be fine. All of you are strong and your stories keep me encouraged. I am a little nervous but im more afaid of what will happen if I dont change. Its time I spend some time taking care of me. Be blessed and speedy recoveries for those going this week.

Yes! The first time was awful, but now it's really not bad. I'm very nauseous from the anesthesia, but they've been giving me IV meds for it

So apprently I've been holding myself up in this approval process from insurance. I was supposed to call insurance as part of the process, but in the midst of my anxiety and excitement I missed that part. I called them this morning and was told I'd have an answer within 48 hours. This waiting is consuming my every moment! Sheesh

      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... :(
