Hi everyone!

What a nice place Alex has set up for us here! As much as I love Spotlight and the Yahoo groups, it's nice to have a message board format just for us Bandsters. Let's spread the word!

Today's my last day of work and the last day of my Liquid Protein pre-op diet. Tomorrow morning starts Clear Liquids and then at 1:00 PM the dreaded bowel prep. Saturday "morning" I'll need to be up by 3:30 AM to be at the hospital by 5:30. I doubt I'll be able to sleep much anyway. I'm so ready for this! :)

Today's the day! I'm feeling oddly serene as I sit here, before heading to the hospital. Wish me luck, my journey begins today.

Waiting to be called back for surgery. Seems like I'd never get to this point. No nerves this morning

I had mine on the 15th, overall doing very well

Having bit of trouble getting in all those liquids. But at 4 days post op, I'm pretty convinced I did the right thing. Still on pain meds. Dr.s office called me twice yesterday to make sure I'm ok. I love, love, love my surgeon and his whole team. Hospital staff were wonderful as well.

      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! 😞
