Tomorrow is my big day!



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is my big day...lap band surgery first thing tomorrow morning! I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I was able to lose 16 lbs pre-op. Started pre-op diet at 229, down to 213. My goal is to get to 140, however I'll take whatever the band gives me. Anyone else start with these stats? Where are you now? Are my goals realistic? How soon did you get to 60 lbs lost? Your help is greatly appreciated! Only positive comments please.

I feeling pretty sore today. Pain level without pain meds is about 5, on pain meds about a 4. Trying to get down lots of fluids. Nurse called said to take pain meds around the clock, so keeping up with pain meds, which helps, but only a little. The pain is mostly at my incision points. I've been able to get down one Isopure, and Water. Need to work on another Isopure to get in my daily Protein. I'm not feeling hungry, so that's good. Thanks so much for checking on me.

Oh yes, much better. No pain, no sickness...just enough restriction to keep me satisfied at 4oz of Protein, little bit of veggies and two Protein shakes for the day. So all is good! 1st doc visit tomorrow.

      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?
