My surgery is the 19th, but I go for my pre-surgical testing this coming Saturday. I'm fighting a small cold this week. I hope and pray that it doesn't interfere with my results. :unsure:

You are very brave. I wish you all the best and especially after, once you are back home. The good thing about this site is the mortal support we can give each other!

Yes, this site looks fantastic for that so I'm glad I found it. I'm not sure if I'm brave, or just plain crazy. Time will tell, but I'm tired of being fat, wearing ugly clothes, and having no energy. I'm definitely looking forward to being down a good 75lbs by summer (my first goal). I'm so tired of hot miserable summers because of wanting to cover up. My second goal, to snow ski next winter. I miss skiing which was something I enjoyed before packing on the weight. So excited to be able to make goals like that.

I'm scheduled January 16th. Also in Charlotte, NC.

Pre-op diet starts in the New Year. Trying to wean myself off regular coffee this week in preparation.

Happy New Year & Happy New YOU to everyone having surgery in January :)

I totally agree with you Shelly420! I too am tired of the whole fat thing after 15 years of dieting. I'm looking forward to wearing a swimsuit and not feel fat, to not be the "fat friend", of being able to run and have more energy and stamina. I'd like to lose about the same as you by summer, and then keep on going. I've got a couple of friends who know what I'm doing and who support me, I've told the rest of my friends and my family that I'm having a hernia fixed (this is true too!!). Exciting indeed! Please do let me know how it all goes!!

I realize I will probably have hanging flesh but I can't stand this body either. Regardless of people that say I'm beautiful I can't see it at all anymore. I can't look beyond it. Jan 16th is going to be the birth of a new me

      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.
