11/3 surgery… 20 days post op… infection nearly cleared.. incisions are healing up, a couple already done… feeling good overall!! Still not on par with liquids and food (purée) is a chore but I am ok with that…had zero excitement for purée or any of the food things I was looking forward to pre surgery but I guess that comes with the new normal…

getting waves of emotional… that’s expected but always exhausting… no regrets so far even with the setback!

it’s also weird I have both more energy and a lot less stamina… when I am going, I can go faster and with more pep in my step.. but I am still crashing by early evening … getting better since I can stay up past nine now which I didn’t for the first two weeks ….

hope everyone is doing well!

Discharged and at the hotel. I'm having some soft stool, that could be from the liquid for the GI test or that greasy broth i got. So far keeping liquids down, have had 12oz of Water, broth, and half a Jello.< br>
Have issues with my prescription, was only able to get one since the pharmacy is closed tomorrow. We will see..

Glad to hear things are going well, and were discharged. I am sure they will work out your prescription so happy for you. I just got some not so great news. My surgery date has been changed from the 28th to the 29th due to assistant not being available on the the 28th ughhhhh its only one day but it seems like forever!

I started my preop diet today and I will be going to surgery on November 30 in San Antonio the diet so far it hasn’t been too bad I’m allowed to Proteins shakes a day 3 ounces of lean Protein meat and a cup of veggies and I am allowed to have two sugar-free Jell-O today
Similar to mine, it was easier in retrospect than others just having liquids but the last day I was bored and wanted something else, but I kept reminding myself of the end goal, surgeon said the liver looked great.

Thank you, i am trying to stay positive. These Protein Shakes are almost unbearable at this point though. I am so glad i found the unflavored Isopure still its hard I have two weeks liquids so everyday seems endless to just get to surgery date.

At the end I ditched the slimfast and stuck to premier caramel and chocolate that I will heat up like cocoa, sometimes will mix with the Isopure. Isopure also has some fruit clear flavors, I will mix with a little crystal light and the Protein and it was good, favorite was tropical punch and mango lime.

Back home! Deff feel more sore today, guess those nerve blockers wore off, also travelled home and the airline I took back was a first time for me, had to walk 2 ramps and up the stairs of jet, not fun. I also think my backpack may have been too heavy for me. Feeling the incisions especially the one on my belly button, wholy cow. Have been sipping all day, I know I did not drink more than 32oz but I have been using the bathroom and the color is good.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

      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
