I am right in front of you on the 21st. This final week is a killer. What a roller coaster of emotions!

lundamelmar I'm so sorry! My heart just broke for you. I have two weeks of all liquid diet and i'm counting the minutes until it's over. I'm on day 7 and it's better than the beginning but still...to add another week on *shudder* sorry buddy!

cherbear416 I hear you! I have my first therapy session tomorrow. eek! I know I need it to deal with my baggage with food but I can't say I'm looking forward to it. and trying to stay sane while on this liquid diet at work and everyone bringing in all this amazing smelling food. Plus I'm an over organizer so I have lists of cleaning and to do's to finish before next week!

Where are you having your surgery?

Hello! August 21st here. So excited and nervous for this journey! I'm a single mom of two teenagers, and this is really the first major thing I have done for myself ever.

Good for you! I am a mom of two as well, buy mine are much younger. My husband was not too supportive at first, but I put my foot down. It soo important to take care of yourself. Each person has their own journey. Wishing you health and success!

I am 1 week post-op today. Gas pains are gone. I didn't need any blood thinners. Dealing with Constipation after 3 week liquid diet. Can't wait til I can have puréed foods next week. My first meal will probably be puréed peas mixed with puréed tuna or salmon. Good luck in surgery!


Me too: 1 week post op. I spend all my time fantasizing about pureed food next week. I know my stomach can't handle it sooner buts it's really hard to wait.

One week post op. Officially on "full liquids". Struggling with getting in Protein. Liquid has been decent though.
My question is, is there any point in keeping track of carbs to keep in ketosis or just stick to fluids and protein?

Had surGery today- this morning and it was a little tough when first woke up. The shoulder pain from the air the pump in you really was painful. I've walked once down hallway and I've been burping and using the air thingie. So so far so good. Incredibly thirsty but I'm holding it together. Glad I got it done and looking forward to tomorrow,

I was wondering; when it comes time to eat mashed potato will it be ok to use mashed cauliflower instead of patatoes?

I am so sorry to hear your surgery date changed for a longer wait. I would be very upset & disappointed myself![emoji34] I would be calling every day to see if anyone has cancelled! Thats what I did when I was orginally scheduled for November 1st. Now it scheduled for Aug. 16th[emoji28][emoji28]

Well my surgery went well, the recovery has been tough. Since I'm prob to nausea they have been giving me anti​-nausea meds. Two bouts of vomiting which nothing came up. They considered keeping me one more night, but decided to let me go home. The gas pain was real but walking helped a great bit.

      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
