Anyone else scheduled for January 2018? I have my surgery scheduled for January 11. I'm having to wait until next year because I had a stent put in back in December 2016. The anesthesiologist won't sign off until I have had the stent for at least a year and am able to come off of Plavix for the surgery.

Tomortow is the day. 1/8/18. Surgery is at 7:30. If anyone has any extra time, I would appreciate and wrlcome any prayers that things go well. newlifeat40 I wish you great luck and a speedy recovery. I will be thinking of you going through the same thing as me on this day. : )

Jan 3rd!

My surgery is scheduled Jan 23rd. Start my pre-op liquid diet Tuesday and I’m pretty overwhelmed. Feel like I’m not very organized when it comes to meal planning! I’m a picky eater so that’s making things tough..
anyone used any good unflavored protein powders? Any good ideas on how my meals should go these 2 weeks pre-op? Thanks in advance!

Hi, my favorite no-taste, no-smell, doesn't show in liquids is this one...I got it on Amazon. 11g protein for 12g weight (one scoop). So it becomes easy to get your daily proteins!

Hi all, Morgen (Mo) here.
I've got my pre-op appointment scheduled for midday on January 18th with Dr. Emma Patterson at Oregon Weight Loss Surgery in Portland, OR. I'm hoping the surgery itself will be scheduled for the following week, or at least by the end of January. I'm a bit uneasy though, as I haven't lost any weight since my last weigh-in on 12/21/17, which is frustrating. Anybody have any suggestions for re-igniting a stalled weight loss? I'd really like to be down another 5lbs or more by my visit.

Hope all goes well! I had to do pre op diet and only thing is will power really I had to stop myself when I had the though" one last one won't hurt" high protein is good doesn't have to be bland, well seasoned poached check breast, carrots I loved good luck!

Now that I’m a few days out, I’m starting to feel normal again. Thank you for asking!
No hunger, having a little bit of a challenge to get all my fluids in.
I came out of anesthesia in a lot of pain but they quickly knocked me out with morphine. My iv bent once I was in my room and they couldn’t get a vein, so I went for a little over an hour without pain meds and that sucked! The first night I just told the nurse to come in every 3 hrs with the morphine. I have an on-q numbing pump also, so the area of my stomach is completely numb. I only have pain at my lower incisions, and now they are just uncomfortable. No real issues with gas pain, and my incisions are so tiny I don’t think I’ll have any scars. I had robotic laparoscopic. The days are dragging though! Never read or watched so many tv shows before lol!

Had mine on 1/4!! First few days was painful from the gas but other than that, I’m doing well. A little sore and swollen on one side but that’s about it. Still no BM tho [emoji30]
