Looking for my December 2022 Surgery Twin

  • Popular Post

My surgery date is December 5th. I am excited and nervous but so ready for this new way of life. I would love to connect with someone going through surgery the same day or close to it for support ?

    Had my first non-scale victory today!! I had my surgery on Dec 2nd., and today I was able to go down a size in shirts with plenty of room to spare!!! Feels awesome!!!

  • Just informed my surgery was cancelled due to full hospital. Might be rescheduled in January after my insurance rolls over and I have to all the copays again. Not happy at this point. Never the less,

I had my surgery on 12/2 and I have also had gas pain. However, it has subsided a bit more each day. Gas-X and walking really helps. Also, try something warm to drink. I even warmed my water and walked a bit

Nice….. My pants feel a bit loose but I don’t believe I’ve gone down a size in clothing. Kudos to you

Hello December buddy! Had mine December 2nd. Let’s do this journey together ?

My sleeve was 12/8 and so far so good. I had more discomfort than I thought but I'm happy to say I'm feeling better each and every day. I'm on a liquid diet until Sunday and then I can start incorporating "soft" food and have to be honest, I am really looking forward to it because even though my tummy is full I would like to "physically" eat something.

How is everyone else handling this phase?

My bypass was 12/8 as well, on liquid until the 20th. I miss chewing. Chewable vitamins are at least Simi crunchy. Living on chicken stock and protien powder.

I would try to eat sugar free jell-o each day that I was on my liquid diet. It would help me with the need to chew. My sleeve was on 12/2/22 and I'm doing well. I still forget to give myself enough time between bites or sips. Once I started soft foods my weight loss stalled. I'm still a bit sore but I'm mostly fine.
