Congratulations! I just got my date of November 5th! I'm so nervous and excited ... I tried to start a forum but so far no luck on comments back is there something I'm missing? .......... does anyone know if teas are allowed the first couple weeks after surgery?

Ask your surgeon or your nutritionist. I don't drink coffee, but I am a big Tea junkie. They told me I could have decaffeinated herbal tea in phase 1 after surgery (not too hot)

I'm hoping and praying for a late November date. They told me there are 3 dates left in Nov and I am getting my checklist done much faster than those that they expected to fill those dates...I'm already scheduled for my last two checklist items (Blood work & NUT). I started my pre-op diet 3 days ago, so fingers crossed! Good luck to you all!

I actually went to see the facility and I think it's okay. Might be a little more comfortable if it were more like a U.S. Hospital rather than an outpatient facility with overnight beds. I am less nervous about going than about sharing my choice with other people...my family would go nuts!

Two years ago when I leave Oakes into this I wouldn't have guessed I'd choose Mexico...researched well...even made the site visit to meet the doctor. He is not the cheapest guy down there.

Make that "when I first looked into this"

      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! 😞
