Hi Mike...I'm Clay. I have my surgery in 9 days. I am from Bossier City,La. I know you are excited as I know I am!!! I can barely sleep at night!! Are you on Clear liquids from now til your surgery? I am in the middle of my pre-op diet. I can have 2-3 Protein shakes and a salad with not alot of fat free dressing on it. I've lost 11 lbs so far. Where are you having surgery at? I am going to Tijuana and Dr. Osuna is doing mine.

Awesome!! good luck I am sure you will do great! Feel free to reach out with any questions that you may have. The one thing that I learned, GET UP as soon as you can, get moving, walk, sip Water, really SIP it...it takes awhile before you can really drink a gulp of Water.< /p>

I started at 320 and had my surgery on 4/30/2014, moving and keeping active has helped with my success! I am proud to say I am 99.5 lbs down already!! it's a very exciting journey!

Thanks for all the replies, it is early Saturday morning right now and I have been dozing in and out a lot since the surgery completed Thursday morning. I have had very little pain and no nausea from the procedure. The worst part for me has been getting rid of the trapped air inside me, I will tell you that it is painful when that air gets up around your shoulders but it is not unbearable. My surgery took place at medical city in Dallas and the people there were great. My Dr. Gregory Barnes did a great job on me. Start of Pre-op diet 344, day of surgery 323, two days post op 315. It already working!!!! Make sure you get up and walk as much as you can after surgery it really helps get rid of the air and helps your stomach relax.

I was told chewables are allowed but gummys do not have the complete nutrients needed.

I was told the same about gummies, my doc let me switch to centrim Vitamins they are normal pills so it helped me feel a little bit normal again. I take them at night so they didn't fill me up during the day. Check with your nutritionalist I am sure they will work with you on the chewables...they are nasty arent' they?

      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?

      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
