Tomorrow October 9th!! So nervous !!

Me too! I can't believe the 9th is tomorrow. I am all packed, and childcare plans have been made, medication is all picked up for afterwards as well as the foods and drinks I'll need. House is all cleaned. I'm on Clear Liquids today and had to drink milk of magnesia. My goodness it was disgusting. I think I've VSG nested as much as I can! Now it's just time to get it done!

4 days post surgery and no regrets! It is kind of hard for me to get all my liquids in. I feel great- just still really sore.


Thursday was your surgery ? Me also. I can't believe how good I feel since its only been 4 days. The strictly liquid and Protein Shakes haven't given me any negative issues yet. How are you doing with your intake ?

I am really having to work at it to get my liquid and Proteins in. I don't think I am quite making it but close.

I am feeling better everyday. I think having the hernia repair and gallbladder removal made my pain little worse, but again if I had to do it again I would!!

Encouraging words for me for tomorrow... couldn’t sleep well this past week, up at all hours of the night, then crash come 7 pm the following evening and the cycle continues.
I’m just hoping it’s my bodys way of prepping for tomorrow and that once back home (I’m outpatient) I’ll crash and actually sleep through the night!!

      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.

      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! 😞
