That's impressive. How have you been feeling? How was recovery at home?

@@amylynns, what a terrible decision to have to make this late in the game. I wish I could help but this is a hard one. Go with the best available information and don't try to beat yourself to death with "what if." You can't predict the future.

Good Luck. I would focus on that 4:45 AM hospital arrival. You'll get to sleep after surgery.

Thanks Beni. ;) I am really confident in my surgeon, and think I'll stick with my plan of bypass. I just hope I don't die, LOL. :unsure:

4:45! Can you believe it?? We're thinking of possibly staying at a hotel near the hospital. It would save us a 45 minute drive that morning, but I don't want to spend $100 on a hotel. That's on my to do list today, to look into a hotel.

imho: I think a hotel is a fabulous idea. You are going to have enough stress on you the day of surgery and omitting the drive might really help.

Me too. My only concern is my 8yr old daughter. She'll be clingy the night before surgery and I kind of wanted to be there for her. But we could wait until after she goes to bed to head to the hotel too I guess.(my mom is going to come stay at our house with the kids) Hmmm, we'll have to see. It'll all work out I'm sure!

So mini 2 week update. I just measured myself again along with my weight. Going by my scale weight I told you all at 245 lbs I'm down to 233lbs, so that a net 12 lbs loss. Then based off my measurements I've lost 113/4 inches, 3 inches from my bust and 2 inches off the hips was the most amount loss with about an inch loss from everywhere else. I'm hoping I'm not losing all my boobs because they were what I was proud of being as big as I am.

You're looking great Auri!! I can definitely see the difference!! I wish I would have taken pics before I started my liquid diet. I'm down 12 pounds.

@@layknee are you home? I have gas too, but I just lay on my side and it just flows lol. I did like 10 squats and it helped also. I haven't had any Protein yet, I think I start today when I leave, I'm looking forward to it, all I've had is Water, and broth. Thank @ amylynns! I'm looking forward to the menus you sent me once I get home, I'm craving a shake lol.

      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
