News! We need updates! Shami, dedicatedlady, emmapat14, mamaward64, theunrealjohn, connie2775, HOW IS EVERYONE DOING??? (I apologize if I missed someone, this is a long thread!)
Update us! We want to know!


I wish I had more to tell. I was postponed by two weeks as my pre-op showed I had high blood pressure. I've never had it before but I suppose I've never been this heavy before.

It's now looooooowwww and I'm scheduled for 26th July. It's been a bit of an emotional roller coaster as a result. Thankfully my pre-op diet is real food and it just means my cooking needs to be imaginative. Must be working - I've lost 28 lbs since mid June (I started early!). It's good for the soul!

Wow, John! That's a whole saga right there. I'm sorry you got postponed but at least not cancelled, right?

Abd way to go with losing so much so fast! My surgeon has had me on a diet for the last 6 months and I've only lost 32. But I guess that's why I'm having metabolic surgery, huh?

My surgery date is the day after yours, I'll be thinking of you!

Looks like I won't be joining you all this month. Had my final weigh in and labs with my pcp on July 6. Can't get in for pre op appointment with surgeon until July 26. Then we wait for insurance. I also hear that my surgeon only has a few more dates left in August for surgeries. I am crushed. I am going on a 8 day cruise in October for my husbands 40th birthday and I wanted to be further along in the healing process.

You must be crushed. Keep your eyes on the prize, though. Don't give up!

Today is 15 days since surgery, incisions are closed up, glue is off and you don't notice them as much as I thought you might. Everything inside feels good (I've slept on my stomach since day 5 or so). According to post op I'm full liquids until day 17, then purée until day 24, and soft foods until day 40 when I can go back to solids slowly. I've eaten lots of food that had made me puke, but every time it has been my fault ie. having 3tbsp of puréed Soup instead of 2tbsp. In the first 2 weeks after surgery I have come down 18lbs, bringing my pre-op+post-op total to -45. If I am bored and at home I think about food, if I'm busy,out,or on a walk I don't even remember that it exists. Oh, and I can't watch tv or read flyers, they stuff so many toxic foods in my face it makes me crazy lol

      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
