I am from Portland Oregon by the way. My surgery is Thursday February 5th and I have nothing prepared. The only thing I have is my boost for my 2 week liquid diet. I actually started a week early and I went to see my surgeon last Friday and I've lost 13 pounds since starting the boost. Now this is week 2 & I am on a roll not looking back

Chicago Illinois here....my date is February 24th. Just got it 10 minutes ago. And it can't come fast enough, I have a Lap Band in there that has slipped, and it HURTS....I've been in pain and puking for 3 years now, and I can't wait for it to be taken out!!! I should have had a GB to begin with! Good Luck everyone!!

Got my date! February 16th. I started liquid diet with the hope that I'd go on Feb 9th. Soooo... Should I keep going or eat solids? I feel like mentally, I'm in a good place and it makes me think that I should keep going.

why not keep going. I did an extra week just to mentally prepare and push myself. You can do it girl

I have my pre-op appointment the day before my surgery. It makes me nervous that something is going to go wrong that day and my surgery will have to be pushed back when it's so close. I've been doing all that I am supposed to be doing but there is still that irrational fear that something will go wrong. Do you guys feel like that sometimes too?

I do Amber...I worry that they will find something last minute and say oh well we are sorry but we can't do your surgery. After six months of working towards it surgery day kind of feels like waiting for christmas lol.

I'm glad to know others get that feeling too. It's a week away and I am slowly starting to get nervous/panic. I'm so excited I just want this to happen so badly!! My fiance is having the sugery two weeks after mine. It's relieving to know that he will be going through this with me. Our grocery bill will be so less expensive!!

Finishing up day 3 of liquid diet. I think I turned the corner for hunger and headaches. Whew! My only complaint now is the cold. I'm freezing!

      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.

      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! 😞
