Surgery in 2 days. I seem to be all of a sudden noticing every food commercial now. Funny how my head starts thinking of reasons to quit and go eat an entire pizza. Battle of sheer will today.

I've been having the most random cravings. Like I want ONE ravioli.

Surgery is tmw! I'm going strong but oh good lord. The other day, I wanted a single sour cream and onion ripple chip. I thought I that if I could have just one I would be satisfied and move on. I did NOT eat a single solitary chip but it took great willpower.

Funny thing? I don't even LIKE sour cream and onion chips. I just wanted to "make sure." Ha.

I'm so scared about tomorrow! But I also can't wait.

Stay the course guys! We are all so close

My surgery is March 16, 2015! Coming up quickly.

I'd love to be in a supportive posting group with other March sleeve-to-be's!

I'm going to my internist for my final medical clearance this afternoon. I already had my pre-op testing last week.

I have a band that is going to be taken out at the same time that the sleeve procedure will be done. The band gave me complications after 3 years of success. I'm super excited to be sleeved so soon and have the band be-gone!

Best to all of you on your pre-op journeys and with your post-op success!

Had my surgery this morning at 7:30. I was out and in my room by 11:30am.

Chest is a little tight from the anesthesia, but I'm doing that breathing thing they make you. I was just a little nauseated and the nurse gave me something for that,

Was able to get up and use the bathroom. Got a look at my incisions and they are small. Very pleased with that.

I'm feeling pretty good overall. Tired, but that's to be expected.

WE CAN DO IT.

My surgeon just stopped in and he thinks I can go home tomorrow.

I'm definitely planning on walking around in a little while. It's shift change right now so it's a little chaotic out there. :)

      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.
