Today is 17 days left! I have a countdown app on my phone. I put my leave in for work Thursday. I'm taking 1.5 weeks off. I hope that is enough! Due to other injuries and recoveries he thinks I'm going to have no issues with pain.

Well time is passing and we're almost there. To be honest I'm getting nervous but that wont stop me from accomplishing my goal!

I'm already planning the breast lift I will most likely need. I already found the boobs I want! Now I just have to get to my goal weight loss and see where I'm at!

July 7 here! Can't wait but very much starving on the 4 shake a day diet. I will make it.

This may be an irrational fear but i just imagine myself completely naked on the operating table in front of about 5 people before being knocked out. Anyone know if its like that? I guess if that's the biggest of my fears it can't be that bad.

I've had surgery, (although it wasn't this one yet,) a couple of times, and they've always kept me covered up right up until they knocked me out. It wasn't embarrassing, just a little awkward lying on a table. Everybody was totally professional, and very nice.

You will most likely be asleep before you are in the surgery room. Each time I've had surgery they gave me something to 'relax' me. The next thing I know I'm waking up!

I wouldn't worry about it. They see nakkid people day in and day out! Just like a male gyno..... know how many vaginas he's seem?!??!?#? LOL

      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! 😞
