Hi everyone! I've had a long three year journey to get to this point but I have arrived! I have psych appointment tomorrow, pre-op, physical and anesthesia screening next week and the 8/16 bypass!

Tomorrow I start my liquid diet and I am ready! My surgery is 5 days before my birthday and I consider this the best gift I could give myself.

I have been reading all the posts and although I haven't replied to any, know this, I have cried, laughed and prayed with you and for you.

:D

@@LaDivaDev and @@Dawnie Doo My bypass is scheduled for the 8th too! I'm definitely getting some anxious energy, finding it hard to think about much else but the surgery, but I also feel just a little bit excited for the first time in this whole process, so yay for that, haha :)

Hey guys! Just checking in! Surgery went well I don't remember much of yesterday I slept most of the day. My biggest discomfort was feeling extremely bloated but luckily no gas pain. Took about 6 walks and I'm feeling great! I really hope this continues. I'm currently still at the hospital sipping on broth waiting to get discharged! I hope all of you are doing well!!

I wish mine was over with already! The surgeon extended my pre-op diet (only Clear Liquids, sugar free, approx. 15 cals/day) for five days. I wasn't expecting to have to do it so long. I'm afraid I am getting grouchy at everyone around me, but I really do feel very hungry and frustrated. Monday can't come soon enough for me. I'm glad to hear those of you who got the op are doing okay on the other side!

All the anxiety and stress just melts away once you're on that table. I don't remember any of it! I do have lots of pain from my period, trapped gas and just the bruised inside feeling but it's getting more manageable. Definitely take walks!

I'm finally home and feeling better worth my drain out. Mostly I just feel like I got kicked in the stomach after an insane workout. My stomach won't tolerate anything cold or room temperature yet, not even Water so it's just been chicken broth! I still can't belive this is real, that this actually happened. I feel likea completely new person at the start ofa new life!

It was kinda funny today. My psychologist said I was really upbeat about the next 13 days. I told her at 10 am I was already tired of liquids but, failure is not an option. We will do this! In a few days we will have made it to the next phase in our lives.

I share your excitement! My surgery is 8/08 and I'm on my liquid diet for 1 week and 2 days now lol I'm praying for us as well. We can do this!

      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?
