Mine is on the 21st Jan... and I am freaking out a little bit. I am meant to be on a diet now... 2 shakes a day plus one meal... but I am pre menstrual and a little anxious.. and finding that I am eating with little control. I feel very very ashamed!!! :blush:

I'm scheduled for January 25th. Wednesday is my EGD and blood work, and I start my liquid diet (with the NUT) a week from today. I'm starting to get nervous, too!

i am the 27th! have my NUT class and final appt with the surgeon on wednesday the 20th. that is also the day i start my liquid pre op diet.

i am not nervous about being put to sleep or the surgery really but i am getting myself worked up about having my drain removed. that just doesnt sound fun at all. luckily i will have it removed the morning after surgery then i can go home! whoo hoo for outpatient. i am also a little nervous about 30 days of having to give myself blood thinner injections. :( i hear they are tiny little needles though so I'm sure i will get used to it after a day or so. anything you all are especially nervous about?

My dr. doesn't do drains - luckily you don't have to go home with it.

I'm just worried about lifting my 15 month old baby girl post-op. She loves for me to pick her up and I can't imagine her face when I tell her I can't. Luckily my husband will be off so he can out her in my arms but still...that's pretty much it.

My surgery date is 20th Jan. Had a few very anxious days last week but thankfully am feeling calmer now. Just need to succeed at this. As all my attempts at weight loss before have not ended well I sometimes wonder will I succeed with this. Scared to imagine what it would be like to be a healthy weight! Less than 48 hours now to surgery!

How is the liquid diet going for everyone? I feel light headed and very weak :(

I'm a little weak but my stomach is really achy! I'm used to these shakes so I don't know what it could be. Going to drink a ginormous cup of Water and go to bed. Nite y'all! One day down...

I had NO energy to start the day with. It got better as the day progressed. I am also on two Meal Replacement bars, not liquid only though...

Aww. I feel the same way about my 18 month old little girl. I'm going to have her climb up on the couch to sit with me since she loves climbing anyways.

My surgery is on the 28th!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
