Checked in the hospital this morning at 5:30am surgery is set at 9am! I only had one day for liquids but I did 3 days just to prepare myself. Not too bad. What really sucked was the darn commercial about food lol! I continued to workout during liquid diet and that was weird. Felt a bit week in the legs but nonetheless I did it. Today during my weigh in I was down 10 more pounds. I have exceeded my Dr recommendation prior to surgery. The next adventure will be post op and I can't wait.

In a couple hours a new chapter will begin for me. Again, best of luck to all on this journey and remember all our hard work will pay off!!

Darn. I'll also be in Mexico, but in Juarez with Drs. Jose Rodriguez-Villarreal & Elmo Aramburo.

Regardless, best of luck to you!

We should check in with each other now and then to compare notes. I am sure everything will go well. Good luck to you too!

I agree! Just getting out of surgery was horrible. I was bloated and so drugged up lol I hate not knowing what's going on with me. I got myself up and staggering down the post op room lol Today is my first day in hospital and what a better feeling. I'm a bit whoozy still but I have more a hold on my mind and body that I feel much better.

I am 25 days out and am really having to be introspective. Last month I ate like **** and gained 5 lbs. I have reeled it back in because my head needs to change to match the physical changes my stomach will go through. After soul searching, decided that there isn't much in the way of food that I will actually miss. Food has been such an adversary in my life that I am RELIEVED to see much of it taken off my plat ( literally).

Now what I will miss?? Guzzling Water. I love water. And rum and coke/wine. My partying days with my girls are numbered. Lol

What will you miss or do you miss?

I was sleeved yesterday! I woke up with a lot of discomfort and pain, but I feel so much better today.

I was scared in the days leading up. Today, I feel hopeful, relieved, and excited.

I had my sleeve on Monday and then proceeded to vomit for 2 days, earning myself an extra night in the hospital. I was so afraid I would rip the staple line, but it seems to be ok. I really was not expecting to vomit so violently.

      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.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
