February 2021 bypassers?



Recommended Posts

Feb 2 is my date. I am doing the pre-op diet and have lost 10 lbs. Talked to the anesthesiologist yesterday and have my COVID test lined up early on the 1st. I got some library books to keep me easy in the days afterward.

Welcome @Pkump and @BostonRiley!!

Congrats on the weight loss so far @Pkump!! Amazing!! I am crossing my fingers I will have similar results! Only a few days to go! I will be crossing all my digits for you!

@BostonRiley I think you have the closest date to mine (2/22)!!! Hurry up and wait, right?! When do you start your preop diet? I am going in for my last informational meeting on Wednesday... eeek! I start the diet on 2/8. I am assuming I will get all the details on Wednesday.

I am clearly over-preparing (severe fear of the unknown)... my current buys:

@TreeTrunks Thank you for the welcome! I start my preop diet on 2/5, so only a few more days to go. I feel like I have so many appointments between now and the 19th. I haven't bought too much stuff as I'm afraid to. I did buy some templates on Etsy to track my Water in take, my weight by the week and a sheet for my measurements. My boyfriend helped me last night take a bunch of before photos for me to put in my weight loss journal. I am right there with you with the overthinking! We will get through this though!

Oooh! Can you send me the links. I've created my own with a dot journal, but am always looking for ideas!

I need to get my husband to do this...or start taking some in front of the mirror! I've been avoiding it...

Thank you! I have one more day of liquids including Protein Shakes and Soup and then the 24 hours prior just Water. Today the preop diet was much more manageable. I still need to take before pictures and pack. I'm excited and trying to keep fear of the unknown down. I overthink and overplan and this forum has helped me not thinking I'm crazy 🙃

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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
