I had the heparin shot twice a day when I went in March. It felt like a bad bee sting. I hated it.

Just heard from BCBS FEP and I am approved for surgery on June 9th!!! I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Hood my surgeon will give me a sedative to calm my nerves down on the day of surgery.

Masonjk I am the 9th too. I can't wait.. I'm hoping my back and leg pain will all go away. I have been trying to keep busy to pass yes time. Where are you located? I'm in Central NY.

I hope to bring my iPad with me to the hospital and check in with everyone. Has anyone cleaned out their closets yet? I have so many clothes that I will.. Be able to get back in to. Looking forward to size 14 by the end of summer.

Sorry I have not made any cements lately, I had to resettle password.

Well for me I have been on the pre-op diet 7 days now. The first day was pretty tough but it is much easier now.

My surgery is June 4th. I am excited and a lite nervous about getting all my Protein and Water in after.

Day two of liquid diet. Not as bad as I thought, although I woke up with a whopper of a headache this morning, not sure if the two are related or not, lol. Twenty two days till my surgery!! Anyone else going in on the 19th of June for their bypass??

PS- I lost 3.5 pounds since yesterday morning!!!!! How crazy is that?? Yay Opti-Fast shakes!!! My good friend had her bypass done last August and she told me that she lost 42 pounds in three weeks while doing the Opti-Fast diet pre-surgery. If I can hit 260 before my surgery I'll be one very happy girl. Currently I'm 284.8.

I had my EGD today. I wrote a little blog about it if you are interested. http://kimwls.blogspot.com/ .....I'm actually blogging the whole experience, but since I'm still pre-op....there is not much yet.

I'm on June 17 for surgery, and June 10 for liquid pre-op.......it is very interesting hearing about all the different preps and protocols. I will also have to do anti clotting injections for 2 weeks post op....they said they just recently (about a year ago) started that and have not had a single patient get a blood clot since.

      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! 😞
