This is my first post, but I'm looking for some words of encouragement for my surgery tomorrow. I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30, so that means getting up around 3 a.m. I'm so excited to start this new part of my life! Any words of wisdom?

Thanks everyone. I came home today. I'm more sore than I was at the hospital but I'm attributing that to the 1 1/2 hour trip that was at times bumpy. Today I had my first liquids other than Water, which was nice. I didn't come anywhere near getting in my 60 g of Protein today, but I didn't start until around 4 with anything other than water. I'll do better tomorrow.

So glad your home and feeling somewhat well. From everything I've read, it's not so much the Protein you REALLY need to worry about, it's more about staying hydrated, so I wouldn't be overly worried about the Proteins. Feel better.

      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
