My surgery is next Thursday, June 12th. I got a new, super-short pixie cut last weekend and I'm looking forward to a new and improved body to go with it! I work in an admissions office on a college campus and it seems like there is a potluck for a baby shower, a retirement, or birthday every week. It's been hard to resist all the goodies, but I just keep telling myself the sacrifice will be worth it.

I know what you mean! It was one if my coworkers birthdays today and there were chocolate chip muffins, Bagels and cream cheese, pizza, and cake. All the death of me!

But I was really good and resisted. But I got mad at my coworker for bringing some cake over to our shared workspace. Kinda bit her head off, oops!

Loving this site. Clearly, in order to have our surgeries, we need pretty toes! I have decided that I will go both both toes and new "do" as well. I am having my surgery on the 25th. So, I still have a little time to pick a new look! Fun! B)

Last weekend I got my hair cored and cut and Wednesday a pedi! I had had a stressful week and that was what I did instead f eating. I felt good about it! :). Good luck next week everyone! Mine is Tuesday.

The weight just melts off on the pre-op diet! But boy is it hard to stick to it at times. When I work out all I keep repeating in my head is "End result end result end result!" and it makes me push even harder. It definitely worked really well, lost 10 lbs in 3 days!

I don't have any energy on my preop to work out, I am only getting about 1000 calories a day, and I am working 11 hours shifts, so I barely have energy for that.

I understand completely, I'm only getting about 500 calories a day but I only work around 3-4, 16 hour days a week so I work out the days I'm off.

So I had my final preop appointment today. They went over my labs, which were all normal. They saw in the EGD that there is still a little damage from my previous lap band, so my surgeon is having his partner in on the surgery with him just for an extra set of hands.

I got all my prescriptions to fill before the surgery and got my surgery time, 7:30 am.

Just a few more days left!

That's great! So happy for you! I'm getting super anxious the closer it gets. I've heard the horror stories of surgeons opening you up and if your liver isn't shrank down enough than they will just close you right back up and not do the surgery.

      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! 😞
