Hiya, newbie to the forum here.

My surgery date is 29 Aug. It's been a long time coming with plenty of sitting in the unknown waiting to receive the surgery date (which I almost didn't pick the call up for due to it being an 'unknown' ID. Oops :rolleyes:).

I'm going from lapband to bypass. They're doing so many things at once (band removal, gallbladder removal, bypass etc) I've just referred to the whole thing as "rearranging my digestive system".

I can't say I feel 'ready' whatsoever and feel rather disorganised with things. I'm hoping the closer to my surgery date the more settled I feel. I started the pre-op diet today which, while isn't the first time doing it, it's still an adjustment having to get everything in (since it seems to take me a good hour to drink one shake). Hopefully this gets better as time goes on.

Hey everybody. I'm brand new to this site - getting excited for my surgery scheduled for Aug. 15. I originally planned to have the sleeve but my surgeon switched me to the bypass after my endoscopy due to Barrett's Esophagus. I'm nervous about the change but excited for results. I've just been browsing on the before and after pics thread - I highly recommend for inspiration when you're feeling anxious!!!

      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
