Won't be able to sleep tonight knowing in just ~9 hours, I'll be going through the first steps of a lifestyle change!! After a year's worth of work, it's an off feeling it's finally drawing to an end.

If it wasn't already obvious to me that I'm stressing with nerves, among other things, I've been having dreams that my teeth are falling out!!

I'm actually very disappointed in myself for the way I've handled my liquid diet for the past 3 weeks that I was recommended to do. Though, I'll say I've drank more than I've eaten, I've cheated more than I can I count on my hands (eggs, Soups with veggies in it, thanksgiving dinner...and leftovers,etc.). I do so knowing life won't be the same after. food has also been a huge comfort for me; college finals, job interview, managing home finances and other mommy/wife duties has proven to be almost too much! I've had numerous surgeries in the past near this weight laparoscopically in the past without fasting or dieting beforehand, so I'm praying hard tonight that I won't be hating myself tomorrow, but only the expected discomfort after the surgery!

I've watched 2 family members have great success with their sleeves throughout this year and can't wait to share in the experience.

Stopping all liquids at 10, then cleaning house and packing for overnight to keep myself busy!! Wish me luck!

Good luck side note I dreamed my teeth were falling out too

I looked up what teeth falling out in dream meant, the result was anxiety, a significant change, a time of transition, and/or knowing you said something you didn't mean to.

Interesting, huh?!

Surgery was perfect! Feeling sore only where the drain is. Get extremely nauseas after I chew ice or morphine. The awesome nurses are giving medicine to help ease the discomfort.

Just walked the halls???? Tired now.

Hard to believe this day has come and almost gone! The pain I am feeling now is only temporary!

Because of the anesthetics, I'm a cry baby too! ????????

      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... :(
