I'm the 9th -- had a preop class at the hospital last Thursday night. It was great. We met a pre/post surgery nurse and they went over everything to expect... what will happen before surgery, the recovery room, what they'll do with your personal stuff, what monitors will be on you when you wake up... Then the pharmacist talked to us about our medications and what pain meds the doctors routinely leave orders for. We talked to the charge nurse on the floor we'll be on -- she talked about the room, getting us up to move around, etc. Then the dietician described the diet they'll bring up on the second day. Like a bottle of Crystal LIght with Protein in it. Lastly we talked to the bariatric coordinator who took us on a tour of the floor and let us see what a room looks like (all private).

This morning I had my presurgery doctor's appointment -- went through all the paperwork, had to take a little true/false quiz and go over any answers I missed -- just to be sure I have realistic expectations. As I was leaving the doctor shook my hand and said "I'll see you at the hospital" and that was that! Thirteen more days...

Excitement builds!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
