Dear FRIENDS.... I have my alarm set for Monday, August 4th at 3:15 AM EST! I have to wash with Hibiclens and leave by 4AM to be at Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio by 5:30AM! My surgery is at 7:30AM EST and I will officially be sleeved. I am so blessed and excited to be part of this community and want to say THANK YOU to all of you for your posts. I have spend many nights reading your posts and being inspired by your journey.

QUESTION: What is your BEST advise for me while I am in the hospital????

congrats and good luck! my best advice is to try to stay relaxed. i know that's easier said than done, i was panicking a few days before, but it all worked out so well that i would do it again in a heartbeat! (i was sleeved 6/25)

i'm sure you will do great! just take it day by day and once you're home, remember to sip plenty of water/liquids and walk!

keep us posted!

      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.

      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! 😞
