Hi, I am on Nov.30th - start my preop diet tomorrow! I'd love to have friends for the journey!

I’m on the 30th too! How did you handle staying on the pre-op diet through Thanksgiving? So tough!

December 2 RNY! I’m so ready! I’ve been wanting to do this for 2 years but only felt ready to make the changes in the last few months.

I have a gastric sleeve being performed on December 14th. That is if I don't get Covid. Someone sick sat next to me, both of us masked, but I didn't know he was sick. He got tested the next day and has Covid. So praying I don't get symptoms and I can take my preop COVID test and be all good on the 9th for my surgery on the 14th. All this on top of the fact that I was about finished with all of my tests right before everything was shut down the first time because of COVID.

I am still waiting on a surgery date but found out today that I was approved by insurance, was told sometime early December. I would love to have friends through this journey whos going through the same thing around the same time. No one would understand more than those doing this journey with you.

Yay!! Im suppose to find out my surgery date this week too. I'm hoping for around the 16th or so. I'm in NC, too. I will be having surgery in Concord, not sure if you are familiar with this area, but I wish you the best. Keep me posted..

I’m scheduled for revision surgery on December 8. I’ve had two failed bands and a sleeve. Going for bypass. I’m nervous and excited.

      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... :(
