So tomorrow is the day for me! I'm on liquids today for pre-op. These can include Protein Drinks and creamed soups! I can drink coffee even. Tomorrow morning after bathing in the special soap for the 2nd time I can have coffee or juice or Bone Broth on the way to the hospital if I want and then I'll be joining you recent surgery peeps in the post-op diet. I'm nervous, feel like I should clean and get things in order today, but mostly confident in my decision. I haven't told two of my three kids yet so that's weighing on me but I think it's best for now. I am so excited to feel good again, get some of this weight off to help with back, hip and overall joint pain, and to have the energy and desire to hang with the grand kids more....these are the things that give me confidence in this decision. I appreciate the most recent posts from those of you that just had surgery this week and your encouragement. Keep it coming....I still have 20.5 hours to go until I leave for the hospital :).....

I just joined this site so I have no idea how it works yet. I would love to keep in touch and encourage each other through it all. I am having a rough time with the two week liquid diet. I have seen people post that the hungry feeling stopped after the third day but not here. I am starving but I keep trying to think of the end game. How is your liquid diet going??

Yikes! I just got home from my pre-op appointment with my surgeon. He is now concerned with two prior incisions (bikini cuts) and the scar tissue it may have caused. He thinks he might need to make an open cut instead of laparoscopic, and a possibility of the sleeve instead of gastric bypass. I figured a larger incision and sleeve is better than an almost 50 BMI and other comorbidities. I was nervous before the appointment, but now I'm a little freaked out. Whose got some positive words for me?

My BMI was 52. I post 28 lbs on liquid diet and 4 lbs at Hospital after surgery. I can u derstand the worries you may have with open insidious night but it’s only temporary while the weight is permanent unless you make the choice

Hi there. I had my preop appt with my surgeon yesterday he said the same thing except mine was because of a c section scar . He said most are fine be he did ask me what would I rather do a sleeve instead or be opened up in the case of this happening. I chose sleeve because I would rather not run the risk of being opened up and getting an infection :) sending positive vibes !


This is my Journey to Joy !

So did the doc say he could go laparoscopic with the scar tissue and without making an open cut? Of course, he won't know anything until he goes in, but I wonder how scar tissue around my bikini area affects the surgery. I should have asked him. Ugh, questions always pop up after the fact.

Thanks for your input.

      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?
