16 hours till I leave for the hospital! I've been on a clear liquid diet today. I've been keeping busy cleaning my house. I'm very nervous, haven't been put under in over 10 years.

Omg!!!! Bestest of luck!!! Everything will be fine stay positive, plus they might drug you a bit for the nervousness. [emoji1417]🤫

@vanwest83 I bet you're in surgery by now, but saying prayers for a smooth and successful surgery and an easy recovery. Can't wait to hear how it went!

Morning everyone! I feel like I need another weekend to get over my weekend! ha! Ok, more waiting for me. Will ask the surgeon for an update when I see her on Thursday. Today is PT again. That place smells SO badly of antiseptic...*sigh*

How are you guys? How are all the people who've already had surgery? Updates anyone??

I second that!!! Wishing you a successful surgery and fast healing!!!

We all need another weekend and a long vacation .. Bahamas or something.
Good luck with your PT hope this one is less stressing (tiring) than the last one.

The ONE THING I would suggest getting (after my hosp experience) is a zip up or snap up mid length or long night gown for post op hospital stay & all the walking!!! It was the only thing I ended up using of all the stuff I packed!!!! Oh and a sports bra which is much more comfy while in bed & when up to walk!! I actually got a pretty cute one at Walmart! Who knew?!!

Thank you for keeping me in your prayers. The hospital just called I’m to report there at 10:30am. I’m so anxious! It’s like when I was a child on Christmas Eve. [emoji847]

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
