Hey all, I am 5 days post OP. Overall the procedure was really smooth. I didn't take any narcotics after the first day, and no pain meds at all since leaving the hospital. Gas pain was at a minimum, and I was up and walking around the same night. I was concerned by some of the stories I had read on here, but it seems like I received great care. I feel like I'm starting to get my appetite back but wont be able to progress to mushy food for another nine days. Just a bump in the road I guess. I started my pre OP diet on 11/5 @ 328 lbs, as of this morning I'm at 299, (309 on surgery day), so it's the first time being sub 300 in over a decade. I know this is just the beginning and I'm sure there will be more challenges ahead, but I wanted to put this out there for someone like myself that was just lurking and being intimidated by some of the bad experiences that some have posted.

Great job!!! Sounds like you are on your way!!! Looking like my surgery weight will be 238lbs. I have only lost 9 lbs on this two week preop diet 🥴

Looks like many people lose 15-20 lbs before surgery.... Not me, hopefully I will be 237 tomorrow for a grand total of 10 lbs preop.

@Heather246 good luck and God's speed on your recovery. Just follow to the T everything you were taught and you will be just fine .The most important thing I as soo glad I did was bring that little pillow. I put it under that biggest most painful incision and layed right on it on my side and slept very comfortable concidering.. if you are a side sleeper try it you will be surprised how it will feel better if you lay on it with a pillow..... keep in touch the next few days if you can....let me know how you made out.... Peace>>>>.

stop counting pounds and concentrate on following the instructions, drinking your Water, drinking your Protein ,walking ,and eating and chewing like a snail....and the pounds WILL come off in their own style ….

Thank you. Those are all things I need to hear, today and probably in 2, 4, 6, 8 weeks and more. I have spent my whole life focusing on the pounds and should have been doing all those things you just said. Great support system, thank you again, and of course I'll keep you updated.

      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
