Yeahhhh since I'm getting a revision i kind of have an idea how things are going to go. With the band i didn't get nervous till i was in my gown with iv in place. Right before walking into the er. Not really nervous now just anxious. How's the preop going?

Yeah I'm having the revision also, but having a large portion of your stomach cut out is a lot different than just having a band put in. I think that is what makes me nervous.

Doing pretty good on the Pre-op diet. You?

Struggled at first didn't start it on a Monday like i should have. More like that Fri. ???? but once i started Fri i was all in. Almost down 20lbs which is a blessing. It's pretty ok now that I've found my groove. Very true about it being different from the band. I guess I've just tried not to dwell on the fact I'm getting the rny.

      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?
