Its me again - THIS TIME with a surgery date! Monday Aug 11 is my day. I am so excited.....

Today is Day # 2 on the 14 day liver shrinking diet. I will not lie it is tough, but nothing worth anything is ever easy.

Here is what I am tired of:

1. Fatigue

2. Exacerbated asthma

3. sleep apnea

4. High BP

5. Not being able to run

6. Only being able to sleep on my left side so I can breath and not have a heart attack

7. Washing my hands at work in the RR and getting my blouse all wet, because my tummy is so large

8. Not being able to ride a horse

9. Buying 3x clothing

10. Making lists about why I am tired!

Blessings,

Melissa

Hi! Congratulations on your surgery date! I was just approved for band to RNY yesterday by my insurance. I am looking at an August 2014 surgery too! I haven't figured out how to friend people on this site, but I did click to follow the topic.

I have gone completely low carb. My NUT said 30 or less carbs per day. This site has REALLY YUMMY recipes: http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/

I have cooked many things in the past weeks and highly recommend it. I went cold turkey off Dr. Pepper. Cold turkey off all the things I should not have. Sugar and carbs are poison to someone with my metabolism and body-make-up. This is a fact I have come to accept recently. I am going to approach it as a food allergy type situation.

I should be choosing a date this week!!!!!!!

Hello :) I am 37 years old. Lap Band 2010 (lost 60 lbs) and revision to RNY on 8/11/14.

I am 33. So sorry to hear about the problems you are having to ensure. I pray that the revision is a real success for you.

<p>So, my bypass is scheduled for Aug 5th, as long as the insurance approval comes through. Everything else is done. Going for my pre-op appt next week. I am as nervous as a whore in church on the front row in a short skirt!!!!! :unsure: I haven't been told that I have to have anything else done. However, I can be your Aug Buddy if you would like. It's nice to have someone to go through this together. </p>

Aug 5th is my day too, woohoo ????!!!

<p>Have you all noticed that we are all ladies? Just wondering if anyone is having surgery in Fresno, CA?</p>

There are a couple of guys. My guess is that a lot of guys don't use a peer support site like women do! Glad I'm female !! ????

      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... :(
