Good Day to everyone! Hope everyone is feeling well. I have a question for those of you who have already had their surgery…what words of wisdom do you have for those of us who have upcoming surgery?

My clinic is allowing me to have Protein Shakes up until the day before. Just so you stay on track, I would reach out to your medical team and ask.

Remember it is worth it and follow doctors order afterward to a t to avoid unnecessary complications. I had bypass 7/5 and I'm sore but it's not horrible. Keep moving and work the gas out. Good luck on your upcoming journeys

Tuesday for me! I just had my last bit of solid food, a spoon of Peanut Butter as my last snack. Per my dr, loading up on Tylenol ahead of time. Tomorrow is liquid only and my last day at work for 3 blessed weeks.

We have an hour drive after work, a ferry ride (I love ferry rides!) and then about 30 minutes to the hotel. I'm mostly packed, just deodorant, my tablet, and Kindle. Maybe a spindle for spinning yarn.

I have my pre op appointment today. My surgery is scheduled for 26th. I’ve been cleared for my psych eval. I am self pay so I will be making my payments today. I can’t believe this is happening.

Hi everyone - my surgery is actually tomorrow. For some reason I’m weirdly calm right now. Maybe the nerves will set in tomorrow?

Unfortunately my procedure isn’t until late in the day… lots of time to think…

I am one week out today. I had my surgery last Monday. The worry and anxiety before were way worse than the past week has been. Today I feel really good.

      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.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
