Hi there!

I'm getting sleeved at Lahey Hospital on 8/14. I go in for my pre-op on Thursday, and start my liquid diet Friday. Trying so hard not to have that "food funeral" state of mind this past week. It's tough!

Yes !!! I totally understand! I've had a few thoughts about a "last supper" myself! I was originally going on aug 12 th but I'm going on a vAca that week! It's coming up so fast! My surgeon and Nut have not mentioned anything about my pre- surgery liquid diet, we'll see when I go in on aug 21st to meet with the surgeon and the anesthesiologist!

My surgeon's asst said if I was going to have a "last supper" to do it a cpl of weeks before surgery. She said that I shouldn't think that I can't ever have certain foods ever again. Said to get in Protein first and eat small amounts. I don't have to do liquid pre op diet. Just one day prior. Don't know how I'm going to handle all the Protein Drinks. I'm not liking them now but know I'll have to tolerate it. Ugh!!

Yes I'm going to UMass. Dr Czerniach is my surgeon. Whose is yours. I can't believe we both going same day. Maybe we'll be roommates. Lol. I have Aetna req 6 month process. Can't gain any weight. Went thru all hoops just waiting for 6 month to be over.

Where do u live. I'm in Sterling.

I've corresponded with Mac man before.

I just can't believe we r both on same day and same place. Comfort in numbers. Yes getting more nervous as it gets closer.

I'm sorry I think you misunderstood. I don't have surgery the same day. But how GREAT would that have been.

I'm hoping for November. I have my first Nut appt tomorrow. I have no requirements from my insurance so hoping it will go by quick.

      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!!

      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
