Lots of us this week!!! Praying for us all! Tomorrow is mine, I know there were a lot of 15ths & 16ths!!! Good luck & hopefully we will all be checking in soon with good updates!!

Yep I'm tomorrow too! Getting very jittery--not just the conscious "oh my gosh, it's tomorrow" kind--but he physical my heart is racing like I'm on caffeine kind. I'm going to a show with my daughter this afternoon. Hope it helps me to relax a little! Good luck to all of us!

Oh I have started getting those pangs of nervousness!! I'm also an hour past my cutoff for Protein Shakes and I'm on all clears, I can't believe I made it 10 days on that diet!!

I bet so!! I'm so big on taste, if it's gross I gag!! And with a new stomach surgery I don't want to gag!!

How is your pain level? Are you feeling better? It's always better to be at home, no rest in the hospital!!

I am felling alttle better, pain is at 2-3 and gas level is at a 10 walking every 5 hours to help...I had my liquid meds again and it does taste better with a little bit of pudding. So that helps. ????

Good luck to everyone who's going this week!

I just went to the Vitamin Shoppee & had an awesome selection! I also found that the prices were very comparative to big box stores. Plus I also found a product which will be great when I am onto "food" so I can get more Protein that you sprinkle on or in anything & you get 10 grams of extra protein it looked a lot like sugar. In the mean time I got plain Designer Weigh protein so I can mix it in my broth/creamed Soups ect. Because personally I don't mind the protein I do mind having Breakfast all day. They also have a pretty nice rewards program that's free unlike GNC & they take my Health Savings Debit card so that's a bonus.

Hope everyone is doing well I can barely believe it's been a week for me!!

It will all be ok. Be glad you have a good & careful surgeon! I may be in the same boat on Wednesday. That's always the risk with revision! My prayers are with you for a quick removal recovery. Time to focus on your basics! You can DO this! ????

3 mos will go fast!!

I'm so sorry to hear that. I am having surgery tomorrow the 16th and might be in your boat. I've had my band for 9 years and am so concerned that I will have to wait another three months to have the bypass. Even if they can't do it all tomorrow, I will be thrilled to get my band out.

Hang in there. :)

      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

      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... :(
