Possibly end of February, latest March 7th. Hubby and I started this journey together. We have always based everything in our lives around everyone else. This journey is all about us. He had gastric bypass in December. After I might add he lost 43 lbs pre surgery. We started lifestyle changes at end of Aug 2017. He joined a program first. I followed first part of September. He is doing absolutely amazing. Weight loss after his surgery is moderate. Possibly because he lost so much before. Unsure at this point and it really does not matter. He has gone from a 44 waist pants to a loose 34. He is beyond happy. All his work is paying off. My incredibly shrinking man.
I am so absolutely happy to know I’m right behind him. Our new life begins!!!! BW 367 CW 320. Good luck everyone on this new beginning we have all chosen. Gonna be an amazing ride!!!!

Are you also going to be a bypss or a sleeved. I am about the same size as you starting out. maybe we'll be drag racing thru Weight loss? I'm 323 down from 355 on a tired & arthritic 5ft8in frame. Some days I feel as old as dirt but I'm,only 72. I'm kinda special ,well I guess we all are. I'm in a select group. There are War Babies born during WWII. Baby Boomers born 1946 until 1960s. Gen X Gen Y. Millenials.I am an Occupation Baby, we were born August 6th until December 31st 1945. We usually hang with the Baby Boomers because they're closest,in age to us.we've shared a lot of the same things. lastly because we're very nice people. I will have a RnY early-mid March myself at Mount Carmel in Columbus. I live 14 miles from the geographic center of Ohio and love all the new friends I've made on Bariatric Pal. Lets be friends okay?

My surgery date is Feb 19 & this Pre-op diet is really hard.

I didnt have to do a pre-op liquid diet. I was expecting it after hearing about it, but my surgeon doesnt do it. At least you have a boost start on the weight loss though!!

      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.
