Congrats on getting your date!! I am exactly one week post op. the pre op diet sucked not going to lie. BUT it does get easier after the first 3-5 days. For me I just kind of looked at it as though I was already eating like I would post op. it's more mind over matter. Good Luck!!

Recovery is going very well actually. Haven't had any trouble with nausea or keeping things down. Well so far anyway (fingers crossed). I'm having some back pain along with abdominal. I'm just a little concerned because I had an incident where my 2 year old daughter kind of jumped off the stairs into my arms, I had no choice but to catch her. I hope I didn't cause a hernia. I can't tell if it's just normal post op pain or if it's something like a hernia. I have my post op appointment on the 28th so we'll see.

Otherwise I feel like it's going great! I have no regrets!

The good thing about the pre op diet is it means your super close to your surgery date!

Are you excited or nervous?

I had my gall bladder out at the same time as my RNY. I wonder if it's a longer healing process that way. Still haven't figured that out. Lol

I weighted myself the day after I can home to see how much I gained from surgery (I heard 10+pounds of Water etc.) but to my surprise I was exactly what I was the last time I weighed myself. Which was about 5 days before surgery. I'll weigh myself on Friday. I don't want to get to obsessed with the scale. It can be evil, I hope I can just focus on sticking to the plan.

Don't get me wrong, I'm anxious to get on the scale. Lol

I started today, but my surgeon doesn't require a pre op diet like most others. He told me no more carbs (breads, rice, potatoes, Pasta & corn) from now on. So I started today. What do u have to do?

      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
