Cant stress how excited/nervous I am but really happy to have made it this far-feel like this will be the new start i need! Just looking to meet others currently in my situation and talk about all thats happening for us.

I will definitely be posting daily on everything I feel, and how its going. I hope to be one of those who breezes by the tiredness and weakness. I'm 42, and also worried about how I'm going eat my meds

I hope so too-also the pain. Ive never had major surgery but have had two children au natural soooooo hope that my pain tolerance is up. For the meds think we will have to crush them or maybe they have ones that dissolve?

I believe I started in May in Dallas TX then moved to Philadelphia and began all over but really it's only been a little over 2 months. Finding the most suitable doctor and all the required labs were probably the most time consuming. My insurance gave me the green light right away. Will you be required to do a pre op liquid diet? How long?

My surgery is on Monday (8/21). I'm nervous but am willing to go through almost anything to get out of this pre-op stage and get moving forward.

      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! 😞
