@chrisglowers<br><br> Glad to hear you made it out surgery! Sorry to hear about stabbing pain. Is the hospital managing it with pain meds? When do you expect to go home?

I am on night 2 here at hospital but I will be going home in the morning. I am on oxy 10 mg every 3 hours and it helps me sleep

I'm hoping for an early June date. I'm in the process now of doing the pre-surgery appointments. My insurance doesn't require you lose or anything but I'm in a weird spot that I can't lose more than 4 pounds or I won't qualify for surgery any more. First time in my adult life that I'm not trying to lose weight! :)

Look forward to "hanging out" while we wait for our surgeries.

I was on the edge of not being eligible, until my doctor wrote the recommendation letter and included that I have GERD (me, I just thought it was persistent heartburn). That reduced the BMI minimum from 40 to 35.

I have started my pre-op diet early as well, it's not to bad but it isn't straight liquid. I am trying to meet my personal goal of 300 or less on surgery day. I'm doing pretty good so far. :-)

Had surgery yesterday at 730 A they found a small hernia so repaired that also. Yesterday was a ruff day . Had lots of pain some from hernia repair and was chest pain. Then incision on left is the most painful. I got to come home this AM . I needed to because I got no sleep at hospital between taking vitals and blood sugar and Helprin shots and insulin shots. Today I ate some broth from wonton Soup from peiwei. It tasted great. Overall 2nd day a big inprovement. I have had no pain meds since 7A and husband went to pick up so that should make me feel better and sleep some more.

      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
