I have to be at the hospital at 5:15am. I can't believe It's only 12 hours away. I am so nervous but excited. The typical feelings everyone has at this point. My sisters graduation was today so the whole family is having a bbq. Its very hard to watch them eat a ton of my favorite foods. I just know that I'm doing the best thing for myself and my surgery tomorrow will be the best decision I ever made. I just want to fast forward. I hope everything goes well and to all others who have their surgery soon I send my prayers and best wishes to you! Good luck everyone :)

I finally had my surgery! At 7:30 this morning I was sleeved. At first I was in pain but not anymore. When I lay down I feel little to no pain. But when I stand up and walk or go to the bathroom thats a different story!! So far no complications and I've had some ice chips and a popsicle and those were fine. I'm nervous to try more things tomorrow. I believe I am going home tomorrow :) I hope everyones surgeries went well and all of you recover quickly. May god bless you all

I went home today at around 5pm. I took some liquid vicodin the doctor gave me and felt like throwing up. I haven't been gassy or naseous at all. Except when I drank that medicine. I'm having a very hard time getting in fluids!! I haven't gotten barely anything in. But I am walking frequently and doing my breathing exercises. Still painful when walking and getting up and down. The pillow I hold to my belly helps a lot tho. Especially when I go to get up. I've been sleeping for a few hours at a time and then get up. Wish I could sleep longer.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
