Hi there!

i know what you mean! Last weekend I was so nervous and weepy. This week I have been on edge... now I am excited for a new life. But still it is surgery and so much to go thru... makes me get nervous again. It’s a roller coaster.

I hope you find a way to calm yourself.

I love knowing someone else is going through this on the 8th. Hope we keep in touch.

I slept in my bed immediately once home but it did hurt to initially lay down or stand up. For about 1.5 weeks i would have to push through that when getting in or out of the bed. it feels like ur stomach is sewn too tight and u get a sharp pain that lasted about 1-2minutes then it goes away...at least that was my experience..same thing when i tried to sleep on my sides..felt like the stomach was sewn too tight inside and so i slept flat on my back for 2 weeks. Most ppl use recliners i think but i knew id feel even worse without good sleep so i just pushed through the temporary pain to get hours of good sleep in bed. Im 41 days post op now and have lost 27 lbs...my stats are: 5'6" hw:252, sw:242, cw:215. I lost ten lbs on the 2day liquid diet prior to surgery, so I'm used to telling ppl I've lost 37 since then but it's 27lbs post-op. The 27lb post op weightloss includes one week where i stalled out and another where i gained 2 lbs just fyi..it was very discouraging when that happened after watching the numbers drop consistently so i just wanted to warn u in case this happens to u. Doc says its normal;)

I’m 8th. Hope not rescheduled bc I forgot take shake today & got so dizzy almost fainted twice so Daughter gave me half cup of rice with bit of spicy sauce & hard boiled egg. Had only 1 of 5 shakes allowed today & 3 of 5 shakes yesterday & will try tomorrow to only have 1or 2. I’ll tell surgery nurse Bc His Nurse was gonna tell Dr. I had a 1 sugar free Gatorade & 3 mints for my breath on day 2 so I told her to tell him I thought he was very handsome first. She laughed. This is 2nd time For 2 week pre diet bc cancelled bc covid. It’s a blessing as I got blocked up that night in extreme pain so am taking Metamucil. Hope it works. May everyone have great success!

      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
