I know a couple of people that also saw Dr. Bautista and I've heard great things about him. I'm excited but also nervous. It has been a long process to get here (July 2014 - March 2015). After the session with the nurse and dietician on Wednesday I'm feeling much better. Monday will be here before you know it!

No vomiting :) My 3rd day was absolutely horrible and I seriously thought I was dying! Not sure why day 3 was so bad but I never wish that much discomfort on no one!! Since I have felt great.....Today I have so much energy that I couldn't even take a nap! Took a couple of road trips no more then 30 mins from home...walked around food Lion for about 25 mins and feel good! I'm hoping I can continue on this path! Just hoping I'm not over doing it! I'm so hungry its crazy....got some Jello tonight I think that will save me ;)

@@BetterMEsoon - glad to hear your surgery went well. How are you feeling since you've been home?

@@Kai13 - so good to hear you are feeling better. Wow how awesome you were able to get out and about today!

How is the pain? How is the liquid diet? Have you all been able to get your fluids and Protein in?

I had my pre op classes yesterday. I go for my lab work, ultrasound, etc. next Tuesday. Start liver shrinking diet next Thursday and surgery on April 9th. I just want it to hurry up and get here ????

@@sportsmama13 I haven't reached the Protein goal yet but I'm almost there. I'm getting about 48 oz in a day and the goal is 48-64 oz so that's pretty good. My pain level has been really low. I'm only using 1 pain pill a day. I feel really fortunate. I'm excited for you! I'll mark 4/9 on my calendar so I can check on you.

Prayers it all goes well for you for the preop....that can be hard at times! I am doing well sportsmama! I don't take any pain pills....haven't since the morning after surgery.....the Dr and nurses said I'm a super tough person....I have to agree! Protein is going fine on top of the milk and Water intake! Had some broth last night and this morning!! I'm full at the moment :) I'm heading out to Maryland for the day and to make a few other short trips, I'm definitely fortunate!! God is good! The only discomfort I have is the JP tube area otherwise I'm in excellent shape!!! :) Bettermesoon- I'm praying for you sweetie! Glad all went well :)

      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
