Finishing up day 5 of my pre op diet. Today was tough, I was so hungry! Figures, since it’s the weekend and not going places because of covid. I just tried to keep myself busy with the kids and wrapping presents.

I’m trying to get things done I need around the house before surgery. The big things like organizing kids stuff, especially for school (virtual naturally) and kids/hubby meals. He is good at cooking though so that’s helpful.

I’m on an insulin pump, and I’ve been having lows with the pre op diet. I haven’t had to bolus at all, just riding my basal rates, but I think some need adjusted. Last night I got woke up with my pump alarming that I was 42 🥴. I felt awful and delirious, but DH was able to get me something and it came up pretty quickly.

Be careful! I’m sure your Dr is watching you closely. If not, I would call them ASAP!

OK, here we go Surgery Twin!

I have to be at Admitting by 5:30 in the morning. Let's hope everyone has had their coffee and eaten their Wheaties!

Sending you positive energy in case your butterflies are as active as mine!

I’m just seeing this! I hope everything went well for you! I was pretty relaxed leading up to the whole thing but 5 days post op I’m feeling pretty beat up. How are you holding up?

How are you doing?? How did it go?

I’m doing pretty good, thanks. Pain lessens each day. First couple days I wanted to rest and not move much. Now I feel better, just trying to sip these shakes! Surgery itself was uneventful. I went in early Monday and was discharged Tuesday afternoon. Hospital was awesome!

I have to drink 4 optifasts a day... and only 2 cups of green veggies! It’s pretty bland. I’ve lost 12 pounds since Dec.3rd... quite surprised

I think it will get better! I haven't had surgery yet, but I think in these beginning days figuring out what you are truly feeling is probably challenging! Can you try to drink some fluids (not sure what you are allowed to have yet!) and does sipping every 15 minutes or so help fill that feeling?

Oh I would die for some veggies right now. Lol nothing but liquids for me. And 2 weeks of liquids after the surgery. Ugh

      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?

      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
