I don't think we will be able to tolerate bread. I think it'd have to be an amazing salad for you ma'am.

@rscaggs22

When they send the paperwork to the insurance company they have to enter a date. You can change it. My approval letter had dates that had already passed but the hospital called and gave them the correct date when it was decided.

Is anyone else doing a sort of food 'funeral'? I feel like since I am starting my pre-op diet on Monday, I am eating things this week that I will either never eat again or won't be able to eat in a long time. Strange...

I am home now. The gas pain has been the worst. It got caught under my diaphragm and then under my rib cage. So painful I just cried in agony. One thing that is weird though is that I can drink and drink Water. Doesn't hurt. I thought it would hurt to over do it with water. I mean I only sip, but strange. Not hungry at all.

I have to admit, I did eat a few things that I know I would miss but ate in small portions here and there because I didn't want any weight gain.

@@walkin'onsunshine good to hear from you.

Ouch the gas sounds bad. Good to know about the Water. It seems like it goes right through you. I was expecting drinking to be somewhat uncomfortable. The lack of hunger is normal from what I read.

I am sure it feels good to be home

I thought I was alone in calling it food funerals. I will sorely miss my Chik fila for a few months.

Hi All, Surgery on Tuesday and home this afternoon. Everything went very well I had the worst time with chest pain , dr had me do a swollen test and esophagus was very swollen so placed me on decadron to reduce swelling so I could start drinking. It started helping after the second dose so taking Clear Liquids real slow and steady. Still in insulin the decadron messed up my blood sugars but probably for a very short time. Very glad to be home.

      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
