Wow! Things just got real. I have been scheduled to report to the hospital tomorrow at 11 am. I just received the phone call to confirm and now it's 6 a.m! I had planned such a leisurely morning to get ready and be there by 11. I am happy it is earlier, less being grumpy with no liquids after midnight. Getting excited!

Surgery went well. Had some internal bleeding last night that caused a good-sized hematoma on the right side of my belly. They gave me two bags of plasma and everything is looking better. Moved to a regular room today and they took away the morphine pump. We had to cut the pain pill in 4 pieces and take with Jello. It was tough to get them down!

I just got home and I am a little sore. The surgery went well. The staff at Norwood Hospital were fantastic. Once the Doc gave me the ok on my barium swallow test I GULPED ice Water. The water came right back up it wasn't really gross or painful but it was unpleasant so please remember to sip that first cold drink of water.

I did a lot of walking on the floor and it really does help with the post surgery gas pains.

I had great plans I was going to make 3 or 4 shakes and get all my Protein in today, I am rethinking that now my Doc even said to me "take it easy don't worry about getting all your protein and supplements in today" I think I am just going to sip water and see how I feel throughout the day.

Good health and best wishes to all

Jay

My surgery is Monday 7/27. This is day 7 of my clear liquid diet. I feel terrible and I'm starving. As of Monday I've lost 12lbs. I definitely feel lighter not having any food in my body but I also don't have any energy. I know this is all for a reason (to shrink my liver for surgery) and I'm glad I'm already losing but wow, I really underestimated how hard this would be. I'm nervously excited for my surgery. Less than 4 days to go!

      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... :(
