Surgery is 12/16! Good luck! No tips on the nervousness besides deep breaths lol my mind is wondering and I’m getting a little anxious. Ready to get this done so I can start healing, the anticipation has been bothering me a little bit lol.

One more day, you got this!!

We all have been there - I doubt any person here was not nervous about it - But as you see very risk free surgery and my suggestion is for you to get all your education and plans in order. Read my long post how i Screwed up being not prepared.

Enjoy the ride and this is a great decision to make

AJ, how and where do I find your list? I'm a newbie here. I think experience is invaluable, so if you can tell me where to look, I'd appreciate it.

Calling Fluffy Fluffy where is your post on Pre Surgery Prep SHe will post it shortly

You need three things

1. Protein Drinks, Vitamins and Minerals - See below my set up - Way over kill but thats how i roll

2. You will be on liquids for about 2 weeks so Bone Broth, and other liquids -

4. F#$Ck food - Do not even bother with that right now, Learn how to make pureed and smoothies

Ok I am a chef so i went overboard but the Protein Shakes are the key -

Jess, what has helped for me is not focusing on the scary parts, but reminding myself of the health gains - that if I stay this way, I am doing more damage to my health. Sometimes, there IS no real solution to the anxiety (other than valium before surgery) but trying to shift perspective can help.

I hear ya, though. Stay positive! Good luck.

      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
