My surgery is February 19th. Anyone around that day? I'm getting nervous and am looking for someone to bond with over this.

Hi Joni Lynn

My bypass is on feb. 8th. Not exactly the same day as you, but I'm sure your excited, nervous, and ready to just get the "show on the road"! I know I am all of those things.

Are you starting your pre-op diet anytime soon? I start mine this Sunday the 24th.

I wish you and everyone that is a February surgery case the best of luck and great success ????

I know what you mean!! I'm trying to get everything ready for post op: Protein Powder, Clear Liquids, the right size containers, etc. during all this preparation, trying not to let my nerves get the best of me????!! We all work hard to get to this point, and now that it's here, it's like "Okay, this is really happening!" It's exciting, relieving, scary, and happy all rolled into one big ball of emotion.

Yess! now that it's right around the corner it is kind of like a dream-phase and I'm sure it will be more surreal as I get closer and actually get to the hospital!

      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! 😞
