I am
11 days from my surgery and it has gone really well. I was nervous as well and just tried to focus on my whys and the future and that helped me.. also prepping for after surgery helped a lot too... everyone’s journey is different and so breathe and try to relax as much as you can!! Good luck!!



Happy New Year! And congrats on your surgery. Im trying my best to relax i know i will be a mess on the big day. I've already prepped my surgeon for tears lol. But it's a new year, so new me. Thank you for the kind words.

I’m struggling so hard. I have no energy, no desire to consume anything. I feel like my liquids are just sitting in my chest. I nearly cried at how horrible I felt taking a shower this afternoon, even my cat was freaked out. (Haha he even waited to ask for his dinner)

Hi, all. Happy New Year!

I'm a little unhappy right now.

I'm, 5'6.75", was 220 lbs. So I'm a low BMI with masjid comorbidities.

We'll, I've been bedridden with the flu for two weeks. Finally feeling better but when weighed yesterday, I was down 15 lbs!

I have orientation on Tuesday at Kaiser So. San Francisco and am afraid of getting weighed and being rejected for the surgery.

Just need some support right now. I'm freaking out.

Thanks in advance.

I went through a different program but didn’t get weighed at orientation.

Perhaps the co-morbidities will be enough? Or can you postpone?

I watched a YouTube video of a woman just back from her orientation at Kaiser Sacramento I think and she said they were weighed.

My orientation is Tuesday so I'm going to call the center tomorrow and tell them the situation and ask if they weigh.

I'm not freaking out anymore. It is what it is. And if I have to be referred again, so be it.

Thank you for replying. I really, really appreciate it.

Hello! I live in the Bay Area and had my surgery on December 14 at Roseville SUTTER. I am currently experiencing a stall in my weight loss and am getting a bit discouraged! Anyone else experience a stall this early post op? (I’m 2 months post op)

:-) Just followed you! Maybe I should consider an Insta for just this journey. I'm pretty private about it so haven't posted anything but it might be nice to have a photo record.

      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! 😞
