My surgery is also on Jan 5th! I too am quite nervous, but I keep telling myself how worth it this surgery will be when I start seeing results and feeling healthier.

My 3-week pre-op diet got easier every day, but it was VERY hard at first!

We are starting the new year off on the right foot! :)

Woohoo you're my op twin!

Interesting that most of us are on different diet schedules. I know my hospital says 2 weeks for everyone.

Which procedure are you having done?

I'm having RNY! I hope everything goes smoothly.
Thank you! I hope so too! I shall give you the low down (hopefully without any horror stories!) ;)
How are doing?

Finally getting out of the hospital today! I had really horrible nausea and vomiting for the first two days, most likely from the anesthetic. Also some pretty bad pain. I didn't pass gas for the first time until today, so my body still feels like it's full of air. I am feeling better slowly, but the surgery was a lot tougher on me than I expected. I still feel really weak and have trouble walking. :( Hoping this will all be worth it eventually!

I know that's how it's supposed to work, and people keep saying that, but it's so hard to get my head around the idea. I can't even imagine it!

Thanks for the encouragement! This morning really sucks, and I know it will get worse before it gets better, so your kind words really help.

My surgery is the 23rd! I'm about to start the pre-op liquid diet. It sounds brutal. Any suggestions?

Mine is the same day! Luckily I only have to do 3 days, but it definitely is a mind game.

Yes, things have definitely improved! Thanks! How are you?

I'm feeling like myself again. Only some minor pain left here and there. My strength is back, which is great!

Glad to hear you are 'like yourself' again! :)

I am mostly fine. Still the odd annoying bit but fine all in all. Woke with indigestion so had a bit of a yukky day today but it was the first time I've had indigestion. Then tried a scrambled egg for my first 'proper' food post surgery and it made me sick. I will not be trying that again anytime soon!

Apart from that I think I've lost about 30lbs in 2 weeks so I guess all is going to plan :)

Yes! As soon as I hit the POST button I realised that I had not included that.... I think it works out as about 15 pre op and 15 post op. Still feel a bit swollen around my midsection - an odd feeling like being pregnant...

Do you get the same or are you all healed and back to normal?

30 pounds! Wow! Including pre-op diet?

Which op did you have and how are you feeling now? :)

My surgery was January 11th :)

      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
