Tomorrow's My Day. My Surgery Is Scheduled For 7am At The Omega Hospital In Metairie, La. I Am Very Excited And Also A Little Nervous. I Guess My Biggest Concern Is If The First Couple Of Days Of The liquid Phase Is The Hardest To Endure. Thanks For Listening And I Will Talk Back With You All Soon After I Am Banded.

Good luck, Dlogan!! And remember, the liquid phase is only temporary. And you may be one of the lucky ones who feels no hunger for weeks after banding. (Hey, it's possible!)

Come back and let us know how it goes. You're on your way!! :):D :D

dlogan: GOOD LUCK on your surgery tomorrow. I will have you in my prayers. It is exciting and scary all at the same time. I almost hyperventilated going into the OR during my surgery. LOL!!

Hope your surgery goes great and you have a quick recovery. As far as "liquad phase" I have found that even the smallest amount of Soup fills me up. You may be pleasantly supprised how little hungar you feel. I know I was!

Congratulations! The liquid phase isn't that bad -- I say that because I wasn't really hungry during the first two weeks. (Not everyone has that reaction.) Let us know how you're doing.

Thank You All For Replying And Wishing Me Luck Prior To My Surgery On 03-21-05. My Surgery Went Very Well. I Was Scheduled For 7am That Morning And After 3pm That Afternoon, I Was Discharged Home. I Only Experienced Soreness With My Incisions, But The Gas Pains Were Bothersome. My First Post-op Visit Was 03-28-05 And I Weighed In At 207 From My Pre-surgery Weight Of 217. I Am Doing Very Well. The Liquid Phase Was Not Bad At All, Because I Really Did Not Feel That Hungry. My First Fill Will Be On 04-28-05. I Will Update You All Later On My Progress. Thank You All For Your Prayers, Support, And Listening Ears.

Love,

Dlogan

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
