Well, tomorrow is the day!

It seems as if this surgery has just snuck up on me!

Today I am on a clear liquid diet per surgeons orders up until 4 PM when there's the lovely bowel prep with the magnesium citrate. And then they said I'd be allowed to have Water up until 6:30AM but I plan on being asleep at that time! I check in at 10:30!

I have lost more than 15 pounds on the two week pre-op diet but must admit that yesterday I had two mango margaritas (I mean I JUST turned 21).

Anybody else getting their bypass tomorrow? I'd LOVE to be able to encourage one another!

Good luck to you! I'm sure you will do fine. I just had my surgery on Tuesday morning and will tell you that Thursday was my day from hell...(my own fault as I expected I would feel a lot better than I did, and thought I would be over the bad pains by Thursday - so it made it all worse) . but after talking to some mentors and becoming a little more accepting of how I was feeling ,it has been going great. I am hoping next week will bring even better days! Keep us posted on how you do =)

Surgery went great! I'm feeling pretty good! Drinking is going fine! :) they did have to straight cath me, though because my body wasn't letting me get any of my fluids out but hopefully that will resolve the issue! Otherwise everybody says I am doing awesome and I can't wait to start the losing process :')

Hi Jenn. Yea we made it through! Post op day 3 and gas and pain is going away. Doc sent me home Tuesday afternoon even though I was still in pain. They gave me some liquid pain killer but cant get it down. Walking has helped a bunch! Still tough getting enough fluids down but hoping with time I can hit my nutrition goals. Hope you are still doing well.

Sorry to hear about your issues with the pain meds :( I can keep mine down just fine and if I stay on top of them I feel pretty great! I was lucky and did not have gas pain! I also got to go home Tuesday afternoon! Since then I've tried to focus on Water and milk and any liquid but I do agree it's very hard! I did, however, have the dreaded 'first bowel movement' after surgery today and it's honestly made me feel 10x better than I felt before! I hope things continue to look up for you! What are you eating for meals?

      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
