@@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 :-)

It really has consumed my life! I try not to talk to everyone about it but can't help it sometimes.

I am starting to get anxious now. I'm not sleeping well at all. I'm excited and nervous! So ready for June 3rd!

I am scheduled for surgery June 2. I am so excited and nervous. I started the liquid diet on Friday. It has been so hard over the holiday weekend. I thought it would get easier but it hasn't. I'm going to a cookout today with some friends and I don't know how to handle all the questions about why I'm not eating....any advice is appreciated. I'm not telling anyone except my immediate family I'm having RNY surgery. My CW 275 CH 5'11". 150 is my goal weight. Anyone else have a June 2nd surgery date?

@@mmrennau I agree. I am scheduled for June 5th and I feel the exact same as I felt being pregnant with both of my children. Anxious, excited and thinking about the future but terrified of whats to come as well. I know this is the best choice for me. I am Type II diabetic, high cholesteral, sleep apnea (on C-Pap machine) & high blood pressure.

Enough is enough I will do ANYTHING for a healithier life... I am so excited and feel blessed for us all.

Just checking in, how is everyone doing? Our days are becoming limited (12 for me)!! I had my nutrition class today, not too much new information. The two things I did learn, I did NOT like! I learned that my Dr. requires his roux en y patients to have a catheter and I also have to do the colon cleanse the day before surgery - GRRRRRR! I am scheduled to be at work the day before surgery, so I am not sure how that's going to do over :-)

Hope everyone is doing well and getting prepared!!

Not much longer!!! I have been on a roller coaster of emotions these last few days! So ready for it to be here and move forward. I will have a catheter as well but no cleansing before surgery! I hope that goes well for you!

      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... :(
