Leaving in 15 minutes for surgery... I don't think it will seem real till I"m laying on the table.. I was very excited today when I weighed myself to find I had lost 17lbs,, its a huge accomplishment for me, and I am at the weight I was at when I broke my leg 08/17/2007.. With more weight loss maybe it won't hurt anymore!!

Best of luck to any MARCH 3RD BANDSTERS

HUGS AND WELL WISHES

How's the liquid diet going? I'm only on my second day and I'm craving a Tbone steak. Don't know if I'll ever have one of those again!

My surgery was around 9, and i was outta there as soon as i could keep Water down, and not throwing up.

I'm home and walking around for about 10 minutes every hour (if not more) to help the air go away. The pain isn't bad at all. I do have a very high pain tolerance. getting up, going from standing to sitting and taking really deep breaths are the only time i have any discomfort!

hubby is going to go get my pain meds soon from the pharmacy though, so i don't let the pain GET bad.

I was surprised that i wasn't nervous this morning. my BP was perfect, so it wasn't even making that go up!

i keep dozing off, so i better go take a nap, or at least try to rest!

I'm new to the entire group. Just found it today :). But my surgery is scheduled for March 16th. On my 3rd day of the "yummy" shakes. I wanted to say hi and get involved in this group. The process to get insurance approval was involved but I wouldn't say overly difficult.

      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... :(
