@@theotherfatgirl how do you feel!? You must be so excited!!!!

I got insurance approval Monday so the surgery is officially a go for June 23! I'm on day 3 of the liquid diet [muscle milk shakes all day errryday] and it's honestly not as bad as I thought it would be. I am always craving salty so I had some low-sodium broth yesterday for a snack but other than that it's been fine. I'm constantly full and haven't had bad cravings.

@@theotherfatgirl, my prayer is your recovery will be smooth a quick. I go in tomorrow and am SO nervous! Just keep thinking, in voluntarily signing up for pain, nausea and possibly vomiting for the next week or two. Gotta think positive, but man it's hard!

Wow, lots of new people getting sleeved this month. Good luck to all of you and wishing you fast recoveries.

This last Monday I had the cardiac clearance then Tuesday I had the psych eval, nutritionist and then the preop class. And to day I had the EGD. After I woke up from the EGD the first thing I asked the nurse was if I had a hernia and she said no. OMG!! I immediately started crying. I cried for about 5-10 minutes thinking what am I gonna do now? How can I afford to do this without the help of getting the hernia repair paid by insurance. Then the doctor walked by a couple of times and then he asked me is the anesthesia getting to you? I said no, the nurse told me I didn't have a hernia! He said, yes you do, you had a big one, here's the picture of it. The nurse had misunderstood what I had asked!! Thank God I had one!! lol

I started my pre op diet yesterday and will have surgery 06/24. It is starting to get very real now and I am so excited!!

Oh ok glad to hear that and thankx for the tips 5 more days im ready!!!! Howd U make out throughout the nite? Wit pain and that gas? @@theotherfatgirl

I've been pretty good don't get me wrong it's painful it is surgery but I wasn't in a lot. If you can tolerate the pain try not to get on the strong meds cause I kept telling them I was in pain and it's not bad so they never put in morphine they kept me on tylenol so being home they gave me tylenol making the transition easier. Some people go on morphine at the hospital and are like it's not terrible but than get home and are miserable. The gas pain is real but if you walk the minute you wake up it will start moving and be less intense. I still have it now but very small

      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... :(
