So yesterday was day 4 of my liquid diet and I took a tiny nibble of my daughters bbq chicken. I will not make that mistake again. I had so much gas and upset stomach just from that tiny bite that it will forever remind me of how God awful it is to not stick to the plan. Today is day 5 and just bought me some Powerade zero and had my Breakfast of my chocolate Protein Shake.

I'm having the bypass done. My insurance isnt covering the sleeve at this time and I hate lap bands so RNY it is. I'm not going to complain though because honestly with all the info and support you find on here, I feel better prepared. I was dead set on the sleeve but I'm actually happy with RNY now too. Your plan sounds like a great idea. you will get to focus on healing.
Your insurance is Kaiser Permanente? Right?

Hi lovelies! Sorry I've been absent - I've had a lot to do to get things ready! But my day is almost here... my RNY is tomorrow at 1pm. Making the switch over to Clear Liquids only soon... this is starting to feel so very real now. But I feel ready for it. And I'm extremely grateful that my clinic has prepared me so well for this day!

I have still been reading everyone's journeys on here in my absence - I hope those of you who are struggling post-op have a speedy recovery! We've all got this! 🤗 Go June Bunch, go!

Hope everyone is doing well!

I just got back from my pre-op anesthesia appointment. I had an EKG, met with the anesthesiologist, a nurse and had blood drawn. I go back one week from today on the 17th - arrive at 6:30am for 7:30am surgery! The anesthesiologist said my surgeon is his favorite and "the best". 😄

I can eat normally right up until noon on Sunday. After that it is clear liquids until midnight, then nothing after that. It's so interesting to me how every program is different!

I had revision from lapband to ds on June 7... 2 nights in the hospital and I’m home and I’ve even worked from home nearly all day today. This is way harder than lapband or csection ( I had 2 of those ) I had 2 week pre op diet, week 1 was 2 shakes 2 Snacks and a lean green dinner week 2 was all shakes and I was down 13lb when I went in for surgery. I’m so puffed up now from IV fluids the scale showed back up 10lb so I’m staying away from that thing a few days.

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
