PBucks here! Are there any men on this forum? I don't have a date as of yet. Finish my prerequisites last week, and was told it will happen in less than a month. My Protein shake stuff and Vitamins arrived yesterday. Just waiting for the call to start my two week pre-op diet. I'm 59, weigh 305 and goal is 200.

Trying reading some of these post to get a feel for how things are going to be. I'm aware is not going to be easy but if I want to have a longer life it's something that has to be done. I'll post when I get definite date.

Thanks

PBucks.. There are men in this site. If you go under the support section there is a room called 'the guys room' too!

Good luck on your journey!! I know there are many women here however they have tons of useful information too . (Don't we always). Lol

Here! ???? My date is 4/24

It's so weird seeing a lot of people having 2 week liquid diets and mine is only 5 days?

Hello. I am a 46 year old man. My surgery is April 28. Starting pre-surg diet 4/13. 250 been gaining every since I first made up mind to do surgery. I was down to 218 in June and been having trouble due to some personal issues hoping that I will be able to get pass my current issues with the help of therapy and may even have to go to counseling.

Thanks for asking... I had my surgery on the 1st at Kaiser. The first couple of days I had to sleep on the couch, nearly sitting straight up! My bed is pretty high and I wasnt able to do the normal jump..lol. It does get better everyday however. Im currently on stage 2, full liquids. Isopure and Water are my challenges, whereas mint tea and greek yogurt are easily tolerated. The incisions are healing nicely, except the largest one ( they remove the stomach through there) its very sore and kind of has a pulling feeling if you do too much of anything. Vitamins and prilosec are done daily. I see the surgeon tomorrow for my post op appt. I continue to walk and be as active ( walking) as I can until I get cleared for full exercise...my current stats are:

6 days out of surgery

First day home from hospital.. 234 lbs

Today...222 lbs
