I have 10 more days, been on the preop diet for two and half weeks. Lost about 20lb maybe more, put the scale away and will not take it out again. Next weight will be at the hospital. I feel really good today. I think my body is ready for surgery and starting a new life. I have already notice that I'm able to walk further now. My boss is sending me into NYC this morning which mean i have a lot of walking to do. This weekend, i'm also going to gym to start my workout routine. Getting really excite about the 12th.

Had a other good day. The pre-op diet is good not hungry any more. Was able to walk two block in NYC without pain which is great for me. My husband is finally on board with the surgery. Life is good. : )

Feeling really good today. I was able to walk a couple of block, do my work and walk back without sitting and no pain. It's amazing how losing 25lb makes a difference on my back. Only 165lb to go. Wishing my surgery was this Monday.

I too am scheduled for Monday the 12th. I'm a bit nervous now. Had been doing pretty good but the nerves for tomorrow are actually higher than for the actual surgery - my surgeon only requires a one day liquid diet - I thought I was more ready than I think I am now. broth, sugar free popsicles, etc. - be still my pitty patty heart! I can't wait. I managed to not put any weight on in the last three weeks - traveling for the last two - and I was really concerned about that but the idea of only liquids almost has me running scared. I seriously need to make sure I stock the sf popsicles and jello! Good luck to all - see you on the flip side of the operation!

Done and done - surgery went well and I'm back home. Moderate pain, breathing hurts when it's a deep breathe. Walking helps. Not having my two dogs jumping all over me is a plus!

Well my surgery was a success, but I did spend 3 nights in the hospital instead of 1. For vomiting turns out my stomach was more swollen then what the Doctor expected. So I had to take even smaller sips of Water. Other than that I'm doing just fine and adjusting well.

      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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
