I haven't started on my Vitamins yet. My Dr said to try tomorrow. So tomorrow will be day 3, so I will try the pureed food. We shall see.

My surgery was Thursday and I can have my Vitamins starting today (my vitamins are dissolvable). I am on liquids only until I see the surgeon for my follow up, next week.

Every surgeon is different, there is a surgeon in my area that is much less conservative than mine as far as the post op diet. Ithink I should be able to start my vitamins by day 2 or 3 post op and they are chewable.< /p>

You were right it is too early for the puree. IDK what I was thinking. But I did look over my paperwork and I'm suppose to start my vitamins tomorrow. Thanks for keeping me in check.

Well, I was just scheduled for my surgery. April 16. Holy crap. Is there anyone out there heading for this surgery that is only 85% sure of actually wanting it? My surgeon does no pre-op diet either. Anyone else in that boat?

I'm around 90% sure I want this. I've done everything except my ECG (this afternoon) and my pre-op appointment. My thoughts change constantly from "I want/need this" to "omg, what am I doing?"

My surgeon doesn't do a pre-op diet either, but I have been substituting shakes to get used to them. My date is April 27 and I still have 5 lbs left to lose.

I'll be going into surgery in about an hour. NERVOUS. But very hopeful.

I know all will go well but I am sending prayers up on your behalf!! Remember to get up and walk as soon as possible afterwards to reduce the gas pain!

      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
