I'm having my surgery on the 8th of February (OMG!). I'm so excited I can barely stand it. It has been a long 9 months getting to this point. I have my nutrition class Tuesday and my husband is finally going with to one of my meetings, he's always working or in school. I'm anxious to learn what else I need to do. I've been reading and watching everything I can get my hands on (I'm a nerd what can I say) as well as talking to others who have already been through this. So I think I'm as prepared as I can be.

Good luck to all of you that are getting ready to join this special group of people that have chosen life and health over food.< /p>

How are you feeling, Tammy?

HEY @@DDN!! Thanks for asking! Today is my 3day at hospital, and they say I'm doing fab!!! Sure, the pain is real-it's major surgery and it's a serious event for you're body. The nurses are keeping my pain under control, they encourage my Fluid intake, and they come and take me walking several times in an 8hr shift. I'm so grateful-and very humbled-by the kindness and straight talk we can get here amount the forums. It's like a whole other world opening to me. To each one getting ready to have your surgery, to all who had it on the 8th as I did ( and I'm trying to follow all of you!!!) you can and will make it! You will move past the immediate soreness and recovery. You've come so far and done so much. Our reward is there for the taking. Yes!! We have to work for it!! It is sweeter when you have done it all: For you, By you, Because you love yourself that much.

And we have all our buddies here to help us!! Big hugs to EVERYBODY ????

I feel ya and you speak truth...glad I made the decision to have GPS...I'm so looking forward to a better quality of life. I'm up @ 4am working on my last 12 Fluid ounces to meet the quota for discharge. Everyone at Centennial Hospital has been 5* and they have treated me like their own family members and made me feel right at home, but I'm ready to go home and see my family.

This is day 4 for me and I'm noticing that as the swelling continues to go down I am able to tolerate more liquids. I'm excited about that...I really thought that the initial feeling of being very very very full would be there forever and I didn't know how I would keep pressing past that feeling and take in the required amount of daily fluids. It's just like everyone has said, things get better everyday.

      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.

      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! 😞
