I haven’t told anyone that I’m having the surgery, I plan on telling people if they ask that I had a hernia surgery, I’m just a private person and I think a lot of people are misinformed about bariatric surgery. But that’s great that you have coworkers to lean on. I just have this message board! I’m going to be 45 tomorrow so I’m not too young but yes it’s time to start living a new life!

I tell everyone. At first, I was hesitant, but now, I want to be able to share my story to help keep me accountable. We all have our own reasons for sharing or not and that is okay.

I had just turned 46 when I had my surgery. I am no 60+ I told everyone I was having it. I told people because either way, it's not up to them, it's up to you. I am so happy for you and your lifestyle change.

You're going to be fine. Just do what the doctor says and walk, don't forget to walk.

Surgery scheduled for April 11th. Going for the sleeve. Wife had her's done 2 years ago and has good success. Our surgeon requires a 4 week Preop diet using only their food. 1 week into that and the hunger pains are a huge challenge.

I know it'll be worth it in the end, but man it's gonna be a struggle.

I’m seriously struggling with the 3 week pre op liquid diet. The shakes we are supposed to drink heat up my throat and it comes out my nose. I’ve been living off of Vitamins beef broth Jello and Water. Is anyone else having issues? Also I have no idea how to find my posts and responses so please be kind if it takes a while to respond lol!
Hugs!!!

Ugh I have a lot of sympathy for you! I will start my pre-op diet on 4/5 and I’m very nervous as well. I heard that sugar free popsicles are tasty if you can add those in? I bought some ice pop molds from Amazon and I plan on getting a bunch of different flavors of crystal light to try and mix it up a bit. Try to stay busy maybe grab a good book from the library, take some walks and binge watch some Netflix shows and daydream about how awesome life will be after surgery! You got this!

Mentally is going to be a tough hurdle. I’m questioning my decision already. But with the support on here I feel more confident. The wait is hard, but I as well am excited! Are you getting the sleeve?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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...
