Getting nervous... never had any surgery before. However, I'd love to see my face again and I'm past ready to kiss diabetes goodbye.

Dec 16 is The Day it Begins.

Is your bmi around the 30-40s? I'm the same. Only one week per-op. I'm so happy about that

Yes it is 36.6. My surgeon did not mention that I had to lose any weight prior to the procedure? Did yours?

I have no week before pre-op liquid diet! My bmi was under 50 so they said they don't require it! So lucky

Everyone gets different times for the diet I guess.

I have a week of high Protein and 2 days liquid, no complaints there.

I only have 24 hours of pre-surgery diet and it's clear fluids. (40+ BMI). I'm feeling grateful for that. All doctors are different.

It's definitely a journey. I'm feeling fatigued due to me not getting as much of Protein but oppose to that I'm never hungry. I still crave for foods but I forever feel full. It's just the fact that I'm so use to eating food, it's hard to adjust to this new lifestyle! Are you nervous about your procedure?

I'm getting more nervous by the day! Still super excited and not about to change my mind, but it's the great unknown to me!

I'm so excited. I just got an email saying I could schedule my psych eval. I've met with my surgeon already. I called to schedule the appointment, and they had just had a cancellation for tomorrow morning. I've already beaten my goal weight for surgery by a few pounds, so I should be able to schedule the surgery this week. Possibly tomorrow, if the person who does scheduling has an opening.

I didn't think I'd be this excited at the prospect of scheduling surgery. Lol.

So I call the Dr's office today to see if we heard anything from insurance. She says "oh yeah you were approved last week." See you Dec 1 for surgery.

Got my approval letter in the mail on Friday, called the doctors office twice today trying to get talk to the lady that does the scheduling, she was unavailable both times ugh!!! I would really like to get this done before the end of this year simply because I have already met my deductible and next year my deductible goes from 500.00 to 1750.00; will make it work either way, but that is money I can spend on new clothes! Plus like so many others have said I take the end of the year off at work so it would be so much easier for me to be on the liquid diet without co-workers eating and trying to feed me all the time!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
