I’m on the 14th, so here we go! The “Oreos” diet is harder than I thought it would be.
Ugh! Stupid spellcheck! The PreOp diet! [emoji23]

I just went looking for the "Oreos" diet! Thought I was missing out [emoji16][emoji23]🤣[emoji2]

Yay for you! So happy for you! I am so worried about what i will feel like waking up; my surgery is today. I leave for the hosptial in an hour.
So happy you are feeling well! Your post eased my concerns!
All the best to you and your recovery!


hi Mary,
Waking up was a major fear of mine too, and it was no big deal! They asked my pain level, medicated me accordingly then called my Fiancee back to be with me.
It felt like seconds had passed since they’d wheeled me into the OR, and I was in a little bit of pain but I described it as a 4!!! They put me on a morphine drip and I’ve been pushing it often. They also out a binder around my stomach and that is helped with the pain and support as well.

You will be fine! Please let me know how you are doing and if you have any other questions. I’ll be thinking of you. You’ve really really got this!

Hi All!

I was sleeved today, about 6 hours ago. I’m feeling pretty great, I don’t feel like an elephant is sitting on me, or a ton of gas pain. I just sipped Water for the first time and it didn’t hurt at all!

So happy you're doing well and the surgery part is over. I'm leaving for the hospital soon but surgery isn't scheduled till about 6 hours from now. I'll update as soon as I can.

I’m so glad that surgeries are going well. My thoughts are with those with surgeries today.

The pre-op diet is getting easier but I’m getting more anxious as we get closer to the 14th.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to be sleeved on May 1st as my insurance chose to deny the day before. They want me to do another three months, noting that I have followed the program and lost weight prior. So it looks like I'll be in July/September.

Good luck and good job everyone!

      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
