Sitting and waiting for my IV! Good luck everyone today!

Was you as nervous as you anticipated or did the vein champagne take care of that?

Great job, Lizrios!! I had HH repair too and the gas pain around that area is the area that “hurts the most”. Just woke up for more lab work… they’re going to have me up for more tests & starting full liquid already today! Good luck everyone, we all got this!!

I had my surgery yesterday too! I had hernia repair as well, and that’s the only thing that is tender. I’ve been walking better than I was before surgery. I was scared and made myself think it was worse than what it was. I’m doing good! I’m not hungry at all.

Me too ughhh

I had my surgery yesterday. I’m in very little pain. I worried for nothing. I thought it would be worse than what it is. You will be fine!

My surgery is Wednesday and I’m getting scared. Were you scared? I’m still going to do it, but just wondered if I’m the only one feeling like this.

I have been vacillating for almost two years about having weight loss surgery. I’m still SO anxious! My surgery is next Wednesday, the 14th. I am on my 1000 calorie/mostly Protein Shake pre-surgery diet. I am already missing food. I am looking forward to not having hunger pains and pangs.
I wish everyone a successful surgery, uneventful recovery and continuing success!

Hello everyone,

My surgery is on June 16. I'm more excited than anything else. I started the journey at 328 lbs and one week in the preop diet (two Protein Shakes, 4 oz of lean meat and unlimited non-starchy veggies per day) I am at 315 lbs. You all are an inspiration and I love reading through everyone's posts. Keep up the good work everyone!

      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
