:thumbup:To day I'm getting my band in about 2 1/2 hours. and i'm getting very nervous. i really think some of what i'm feeling is from not eating or drinking anythin this morning. I can't believe the day is here. i'm only taking 4 days off from work but i think i can go back on thursday. we'll see.

I haven't told any of my family about this and hopefully there won't be a need to tell them for several months.

i'll post tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

It's day 2 post op and everything is going really well. i'm home relaxing between walking around the house. not a lot of pain except for where the port is placed. Having a tough time getting on a schedule for eating vs. drinking. but I think that will be easier to do when i'm not just on true liquids.

and i'm no sure that what i'm feeling is being full or not but i am stopping when i do start to feel the pressure for fear that i will over eat. and i don't want to throw up. have to give my self my shot this am so we'll see how that goes. but i have already lost 10 lbs. :lol: and i'm happy with that.

It is good to know that you are doing ok. I know exactly how you feel about being full or not. It is really hard to tell at this point. I am glad that you aren't in a lot of pain. That is great about your weight loss. I came home weighing 5 lbs more than when I left. I expected that and am not concerned just yet. Keep up the good work.

      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... :(
