@@Donegirl4life - thinking of you today! Best of luck!

@@Titaniumsleeved2014 - mine is Wednesday, as well! Soft foods/protein shakes today and Clear liquids tomorrow. I should've taken today and tomorrow off of work, because I'm positively useless with nervousness/excitement.

Praying for you...... One week from today will be my turn . I don't know how to feel my emotions are all over the place.

Thanks! Praying and sending positive energy to you. It's natural to have varying feelings. Be gentle with yourself. We are all here for you.

Thanks, chica! The pain is beginning to dissipate. I started to walk around. It definitely helped having the binder on. I'm ready to go home now!

A few tips:

- follow directions!

- trust your body

- it's okay to ask for pain medicine, you do not get brownie points for taking pain. It only raises your blood pressure

- do not try to overdo it!

- walking helps with the gas pain

- it's okay to hit the nurse button when you feel anything out of sorts, you are not bothering them

- allow people to help you

@@Donegirl4life Congrats! And I'm glad you're doing well.

When you are feeling up to it, any details you care to share, I'm anxious to know given you're at the same hospital with the same doctor where I will be this Monday.

Check-in, pre-surgery, recovery, getting to your room, liquids, how you're feeling, etc, etc. Anything you care to share would be much appreciated! Thank you.

This is my seventh post op day. I'm feeling pretty good - not much pain at all. However, the one thing that IS a pain is trying to get all the liquids in! The nurse from the hospital called to check up on me and said if I get at least one 20-ounce bottle of the Isopure in a day that's pretty good. Anyone else having issues getting their fluids?

BTW - congrats to those that just had their surgery. I knew it would go well!

1st day post op. Miserable from two tablespoons of veggie broth, drinking since 645 this morning. But I will keep that in mind. I literally have to take ten every hour to get it down.

The very first sip I took from the little cup was a bit more than I should have tried. I threw it up. I know what I did wrong and it hasn't happened again! just pace yourself. By the time I finished ONE item on my Breakfast tray - the lunch tray arrived! Hang in there girl!

      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.

        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
