Finally got my insurance approval just 16 hours before my surgery time! To my 7/25/2018 gastric bypass buddies @mercmerc and @Laura7, I pray for a complication-free surgery and recovery for you!




I've got my hospital bag packed with 2 changes of clothing, phone charger, cholesterol meds, toiletries, lip balm, dry mouth spray, tummy pillow, and earphones. CPAP goes in the bag in the morning, then it's off to Reston Hospital Center at 6:00 a.m. for a 8:45 surgery!


Ahh omg good luck!! We'll keep in touch! We can all get throught this! @Laura7 and @gr8tful1

Nervous as hell! Im on a 3 week liquid diet, so not having my comfort zone with food is making me feel the anxiety even more, but I got this! That's so cool we will be going in at the same time!

This looks like WLS Guidelines. Are you in Texas around the Houston area?

Yes! I'm in MN, if you're also central time it'll be actually the SAME TIME haha!

I hear you about the not having food as the go-to for comfort/reassurance/distraction. I've been having to stick to Netflix and avoid things with commercials because all the food ads are TOO MUCH! It's been good to get a head start on getting used to eating like this, but all these nervous/second guessing/scary nagging thoughts keep creeping in! Last week was my last week of teaching summer school so I don't even have students to distract me, just sitting around at home counting the days down.

How is the liquid diet going for you? I only had a two week liquid diet, I'm jealous of how much weight you're probably losing on your three week but it's been hard getting through just my first 1.5 weeks, I can't imagine having to do an additional one on top of that! Good for you!!

      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
