Tomorrow (Aug 25th) is the first day of my new healthy life!!!! I am soooooooo excited. I have an entire closet of "I'm going to fit into that again" waiting for me!!! :) I lost 11lbs on the pro op diet and I am in a great place emotionally - thinking positive is the only way. Thank you all for the great tips. Hearing the good and the bad is helpful.

Sending positive energy your way! I didn't sleep last night and I prob won't tonight either. The next few days will be interesting. Thankfully my Dr gave me all the meds to cover things that may happen (like GasX strips and anti nausea tabs). Do you have to give yourself the anti blood clot shots for 2 weeks? I do, and that is the only thing I am not looking forward to

No, no shots!! Thankful bc I don't think I could give myself a shot! I haven't gotten anything beforehand, I think he will prescribe based on what I'm feeling after surgery. Sending positive vibes your way as well! Here's to New Beginnings!!

Congrats on surgery! I too have mine tomorrow. I check in at 5:20, and surgery around 7:30. I'm nervous, I'm excited. I've been on full liquid diet today, and have been trying to prepare my home and hospital bag. I've found that Trader Joe's Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup with a little non-fat plain yogurt mixed in for Protein tastes pretty good. And after nothing but sweet Protein Shakes all day feels like I'm actually eating. Good luck to both of my fellow patients as we begin this beatiful journey to better health!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
