Good luck Biggi! You will be the first of us so when you get a chance can you come back and tell us how you did?

Glad there are a few of us here. I am a little nervous about what things are going to be like when I get home. Sounds like everyone is doing well on the pre-op diets. They are all a little different. I can only have Protein shakes, Soups and bars called Robard through my surgeons office. Its helping though.

Does everyone else here feel confident in what they are going to do when they get home? What have been your questions along the way?

Maggie- back to an earlier question you had about a plan when we get home. I live by myself and have friends lined up if I need help, but my plan is for a smooth recovery. sleep, sip, walk, repeat. I need to keep it simplistic while being fully aware of potential complications.

Jc - all will go well on Monday!

Well, mine was mid-June? I had mine on June 13th.

Everything went great. Though I will say I had more pain than I expected to. I don't know if that was just a /me/ thing, or if that was a 'people aren't fessing up to it' thing. But lots and lots of gas pain. Gas-X strips will be your best friends! And don't be surprised if some things give you pain at first. Like I was given ice chips, Water, gatorade, and apple juice after I passed my leak test. The apple juice was what I went for since over the course of the pre-op diet I was lacking flavor and really missed juice. However, my stomach did not agree. The moment it hit, and you can feel it, there was instant pain. The high sugar content was likely why. Gatorade did this too at first (it wasn't wasn't the G2). After about 12-16 hours I could drink the Gatorade, I still have to dilute the apple juice, though.

      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?

      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
