Looking for June (8) surgery buddies



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, my surgery date is June 5th CW 212, CH 5'2 goal weight my surgeon predicts 145-150 which is my size about 10years ago before I becase preganant with my daughter. I have been looking back thinking how great I felt with that weight (145).

We will see and best of luck to everyone!!

I'm June 9th! Highest Weight was 260 and I'm down to about 235. I'm hoping to lose another 5 before surgery.

My doctor said an ideal goal weight would be 140-ish. I'd be happy just to get under 200, haha :)

I hear ya, I am sure I would be thrilled with 150. The lowest I ever got on a diet was 157, so I definitely want to be below that.

Is everyone here required to do a liquid diet? My doctor is not requiring it for some reason.

Some do some don't. Some surgeons want the liver to shrink smaller so they can see the pouch better.

@@carebear42, I am not required to do a liquid diet, just low fat/carb, high Protein for 10 days to shrink my liver. I am pretty sure I would die on a liquid diet :-)

I'm June 1st 5"1 about 240 now. I just want to get into the "normal" BMI which for me is 132 If I can keep it there or below I'll be happy! I really wish I knew what size jeans that would be?

Not much longer! I am June 3rd. Of course now I am getting a sore throat. I CANNOT get sick! Ugh. I am so excited though. This WLS has consumed my every thought. I'm sure I'm driving my hubby crazy!

@@carebear42, isn't is crazy how it consumes your life? A friend of mine had bypass back in February and I do not remember her talking about it as much as I think about it, so sometimes wonder if it's just me. I think about something related to it, every single minute of every single day!!

I am not nervous yet, but I wonder what the night before is going to be like. I can imagine I will get little to no sleep.

This was my last full weekend of freedom (before my pre-op diet), so we did go out to eat quite a bit, just hitting up those favorites one last time :-)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
