My surgery date is October 19th. I can't wait for the day to come. I am so sick and tired of being so obese. Also, I suffer from chronic back pain and hauling around all this weight does not help. I have been on the pre-op liquid diet since October 5th and have only lost 5 Lbs. I admit I did a little cheating, such as a slice of cheese and salt on my vegetables. I'm disappointed that I have lost so little. I'm worried that my weight loss post surgery will be slow going.

Is there a group for October surgical candidates?

@@toli @@southbound it sounds like I'm doing something wrong. It's really weird it's in the afternoon I get these crazy slumps. I'm allowed soft foods so each day having 2 eggs, 1/2 tub cottage cheese and 1 of my 15g Protein shake. Then lots of Water. So I'm

not hitting 50g Protein. Are you guys managing 50g ?

I am not starting soft foods until later this week. I'm doing cream Soups or homemade Soups (mother in law made me a "bone soup" - supposedly has a good amount of protein). I've been getting most of my protein in from the shakes though. I use Premier Protein.

Quick question - have any of you heard of the Lovenox shot? Is this something that will be required prior to surgery? I've heard about this shot but not sure if it's mandatory for all sleevers.

I'm not sure if I had a Lovenox shot before surgery or during, but definitely had one the day after. It is to prevent blood clots. It didn't even hurt. They give it in your stomach.

I have a gene mutation that makes me more likely to have clotting issues so yes, I've heard of it.

I will have to continue after surgery for two weeks giving myself injections. As the last poster said, they are given in your belly and they don't hurt at all.

Unless they are worried about you having a clot, you probably will only get the shots in the hospital.

I had the lovenox every 12 hours after surgery for 3 doses didn't hurt when then inject it low on your belly, one nurse shot me right below my drain which is up higher and I was not happy with it so make sure they go low!!!! It's a blood thinner so you don't get a clot, I don't have a blood disorder and have never had a blood clot so I'm guessing it was preventative.

      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?
