I’m the 21st as well. I’m on day 7 of the pre-op diet and have lost 12.5 lbs. I gave up Diet Coke a couple months ago after about a 30 year addiction lol. My grandkids are here this week but I’m doing well so far. Already been postponed twice so I’m ready for this one!

Won't be long now! Are you getting excited or nervous?

Hi everyone,

it's almost time! I'm excited, but exhausted. I think the liquid diet has got to be causing me some fatigue, despite consuming plenty of Protein. Although I have not slept 1 good night since beginning the liquid diet, so maybe that is contributing to the tiredness.

Everyone holding steady and still on course for the 21st?

It went well, thank you! All my paperwork, and my blood work is done. I’m stocked up on everything I think I could possibly need at home. Now I’m going through the house and doing a big deep clean. I’m neither excited or nervous yet…. I almost feel like it won’t happen! I finished all my pre op things back on November 3rd but covid shut down my center and I was told that my surgery would be this month, then next month so many times that it doesn’t feel real! Haha! If you believe in prayer will you say one for me and my surgery that things so well?

Surgery went perfect according to the doc, I'm doing great, the gas pain was tolerable. Had to get up and walk a bunch and you learn real quick on what you thought was a sip is not a sip lol ..... Other than that I feel great and I'm happy its overwith.

My VSG was yesterday morning. Went perfectly well. I was pretty groggy yesterday but walked around the hallways a few times and hit my Water goal. Gas pain has been reasonable. My ox-sat is low so I am on oxygen right now. Will go home later!

My VSG revision to GBP went smoothly. Arrived at 8:45 am and went home at 6 pm. I was happy not to stay overnight because it’s hard to sleep and every time you do sleep, the nurses want to wake you up. Unfortunately sleeping at home wasn’t much better. I couldn’t get comfortable. Pain is tolerable, more uncomfortable. Gas seems barely there. I was able to belch a bunch before I left to hospital. Goal today is to get my liquids in.

Hope everyone is else is doing well.

How was your surgery? How are you feeling today?

I don't have my surgery till July 27th. However, I see where you might have thought that lol. I meant that "today was the day" for you 😂. Sorry for the confusion, but thank you for asking!

Sorry missed this topic until now. I was a June 21 peep. Sleeve - went very well. Surgery at 11a. Took my first walk around 5p. Was able to stop being dizzy and drop the walker after a few steps. Go discharged yesterday around 2:30p. sleep went really well. Pain is very tolerable without pain killers. Feeling very lucky. But following all the eating, walking, etc. instructions to the letter.

      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
