@@395Ron don't be too worried about after surgery!! I had surgery 12 hours ago and it was a revision so they had to pull out my lapband on top of doing RNY and I feel pretty great! I was terrified before surgery but valum they gave me helped lol. I came to hospital in Mexico by myself but there's tons of other patients here all walking the halls together and everyone feels pretty good, it's not so bad.

@@guyfrom315 Glad your doing good, I have heard a lot of people complain of gaining some weight right away. I bet there is some swelling & Water retention going on. & all that gas gotta weigh something surely lol! I think I'm going to try to stay away from the scale until I go for my 2 week surgery after I have my bypass.

@@mizzmaryk welcome to our group & glad your pre-op diet is going well! I put you on our October list of Surgery's.

@@60&goin4it I think i would kill for a low fat yogurt right now!! For supper last night I had a half cup of chicken broth, Cherry Jello (which I discovered I don't like) my Optifast and peach tea crystal light (which I also discovered I am not crazy about)!! I just woke up and would love my normal cup of Earl Gray loaded with all the things I can't have..lol. instead I found some peach cobbler tea made by Tazo that is,actually pretty awesome all by its lonesome. I wish we were in the same hospital, that would be awesome!! Well we are getting closer!!

@@Jenaenae84 I really am sorry you had to cook for everyone else. I simply could not do that. My willpower would crumble. But just look at how awesome your willpower is. If anything, that shows you how mentally ready you are for this surgery! Great job. Monday will be here before you know it!!!

@@395Ron the broth is great. So far it is the highlight but I know it too is going to become monotonous. Pre op is definitely not fun but I do get a little tickled every time my husband gets that look of horror in his eyes realizing he will be doing this in a few weeks!! He has actually been awesome much like your wife. He helped me clean out the fridge a few days ago and he is making sure that he and Seth don't eat in front of me! I really appreciate that! Work has been a different story. I manage a spa and our break room is a constant buffet.

I am so sorry that you had such a bad day yesterday but it is perfectly normal to feel those feelings. I am sure the roller coaster of emotions will be with each of us for some time to come. But it sounds like you have an amazing support system which is crucial. Just remember, you've got this!!

@@Newnetty Welcome to our family. We are thrilled to have you!

@@kristenkek Welcome to our family! Glad to have you!

Well I am getting out of bed to start pre op day 2!! Yay!!

      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?
