Hi guys updating on my journey my surgery is in 8 days!!! My pre op hasn’t been that bad, for thanksgiving it was! I ate a bit more that I should have but I am back on track giving it my best. I am trying to avoid food because I feel like pinching little pieces so I try to avoid when I can.

Ok soooooooo I am sleeved! The surgery was a success, I had a hernia repair also. I am doing good. The pain is there it gets better jute strong with certain movements but laying down is almost none existing. I have some nausea especially when I move or if I sip Water and I have not been able to pee but will try again later. The hospital and staff are wonderful. I couldn’t be happier with my choice of surgeon and setting

Hello everyone. Update! I am home the pain is better I never thought I would be so happy to pass gas! After my first meal my bowels started “waking up” and I generated a lot of gas that I couldn’t pass, this made me get bloated and was pushing against my incisions and inner wound and hurt a lot but once I was able to pass gas it was a relief. I’m keeping my liquids down ok and my nausea is very minimal. I was able to get up and go to the bathroom, even take a shower all by myself today

My surgery is December 14, I have been on the pre-op diet for 9 days. The first week I was told I could eat a salad for lunch without meat, drink plenty of Water (I'm using Crystal Lite lemonade, I love it), low sodium chicken broth, J-ello and 2 Protein Shakes. Now I'm just on liquids and I don't find it hard at all. On Sunday I went out for dinner with my husband and ordered a salad with grilled chicken, so I guess I kinda cheated that day but that was it. Today I called my insurance company and I was told that I got approved. I'm so excited.

Height: 5'1

Starting weight: 213.9 lbs

Current weight: 203.2 lbs

Goal weight: 130 lbs

Ooookkkk update! Tried egg today (according to my surgeons office I am in purés and scrambled egg and cottage cheese don’t need to be puréed) well it didn’t go down that well. I feel a little nauseous and a bit of stomach pain. Will try it later on but for now I’m going to avoid it

      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?

      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
