Im all set and will have surgery on December 1. I am currently on the 2 week pre op diet and in 5 days

am down 8 pounds. Thanksgiving will be TOUGH. I told my doctor that I AM going to cheat on

Thanksgiving as this will be my last one before surgery. I won't OVER DO it but I am going to have

stuffing. Very nervous but also looking forward to getting past the first week.

@@leemcel I don't have a date yet but I was approved by Cigna this week :) I have to wait until Dec 1st to hear back from my Dr about h pylori bacteria in my stomach. If I still have it I will have to do another round of antibiotics and won't get my surgery this year. The important thing is to get rid of that so I don't have any complications. If it comes back clear, I'll be able to get my December date. Just have to wait and see, and pray for good news! :D

My surgery is set for 12/15! I am excited, but also very nervous about having the surgery. Jumped thru all the hoops tho' & it is finally going to happen. I start my pre-op diet on December 1st & have been researching different Protein Drinks & shakes. I keep telling myself I can do anything for a month (liquids), & I think back on all the diets & crazy things (like hypnosis & staples in my ear) to lose weight & realize that this will be the first time that I will make a New Years resolution & actually be able to keep it! I am so ready to change my life!

My surgery date is Dec 4th. I am nervous and excited. I started my liquid diet on Thurs. So today is only my 3rd day. Its Sat morning and I woke up and thought I am going to take kids to Breakfast and then remembered never mind. Its hard to wrap my head around thinking I won't have real food again until Jan. sometime. I have 3 kids and a single mom I just don't want any complications. I just have to do this for my health. I am going to be positive. Good luck to all who have surgeries coming up in Dec. Best Christmas gift to ourselves!????????????

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
