Hey there! Just had my surgery scheduled for 2/9. Glad to see I won't be alone! I was supposed to have surgery last Friday, but I was sick and had to reschedule. I can't believe (after 5 million hurdles and unforeseen stuff) that this is going to happen! Let's K.I.T. ????

Pre-op blood work did not go well. Went in at 9am and the nurse could not get any blood. She tried both arms and still nothing. She said I may be dehydrated.

They sent me to a lab tech for a second try in my hand and wrist still nothing. Needless to say both arms are sore and I'm drinking Water like crazy to try again tomorrow.

The good part is they have my urine sample and heart monitor results.

Tip: Drink plenty of Water before blood work.

Will report back tomorrow.

Sorry to hear they couldn't get any blood, that really bites - tomorrow will be better ????

Man, sorry to hear about the preop blood drawing nonsense. I just gave blood a few days ago (I give 4xs a year due to my RA), and make it a habit to chug a ton of Water before a draw. Learned the hard way a few times. ????

Has anyone on the preop diet been light headed? I will suddenly get light headed and then it goes away.

      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! 😞
