One week countdown for me! This time next Thursday, I should be in the recovery room.

Did my pre-op testing and registration at the hospital yesterday. No word about the upper GI or blood test results, but my EKG, BP, and mini-exam were all good. Fingers crossed there's not a hernia or anything that would delay my surgery. Hopefully no news is good news!

Oh and they told me to be at the hospital by 5am - UGH!!! That’s a half hour earlier than they told me before. I thought 5:30am was bad enough but I guess I was wrong!

Luckily I'm one of the later surgeries so I don't have to be there until 9:00 am. Although, that just means I'll be thirsty longer. LOL

I'm June 9th! On my second day of the Optifast liquid diet. I'm starting to feel that bit of hunger but I'm staying strong! Still have 12 days left and I'd love to hit 300 before surgery. I weighed in this morning at 305. 7 months ago I was 330. Things are happening!!!!

So exciting to see so many getting so close to the big day!! I had my groceries delivered today for my liquid diet and was both laughing at the pile of Protein Shakes piled outside my door and felt my nerves go up a bit. Getting so close! I go in for my preop visit on 6/1 followed up by a Covid test on 6/8. I'm already figuring out lots of way to stay busy over the next two weeks! I've been putting together an Amazon order with some small plates/forks, a Vitamin organizer, all my Vitamins and some Gatorade Protein Water and some Protein2O. What's everyone else doing to get ready?

Same for me luckily I get to skip the liquid diet part though.

On another good note, my hospital system cancelled my covid test since I’m fully vaccinated and they could prove it through the state vaccination database. Whoo-hoo!! As of yesterday they no longer require it in a case like mine!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
