Hey! I am from Oklahoma but currently residing in Tucson, Az due to my hubby being stationed here. He serves in the Air Force. My surgery is March 16th. I'm not on a preop diet because my Doc said he didn't believe in having to do that. However, I have cut my food intake WAY down just to be on the safe side. I am sooo ready to begin my new life!! Good luck to all of the Lucky Losers!!!!

hi everyone. I just had my surgery on the 3ed and I came home today the 4th. Im so weak and sore. I didn't think it would be this bad but it is. A lot of gas in my abdomon when they do your surgery the fill your abdomon with air so they can see and then you get a lot of gas pain. Sucks. And my throat is extreamly sore I can't hardly talk. So dry. But tomorrow will be better hopefully!! I dont have any trouble eating Im just afraid to cause I dont wanna hurt myself!

Hey,

I'm from Virginia Beach. I will be having my surgery on April 16th. Just have some pre-op procedures to complete (labs, physical & history). Got it all on the scheduled and on the calendar today, so yeah, I'm going through the mixed feelings syndrome.

I wish you all the best!

The pre-op diet is to shrink your liver before surgery. From what I understand, the liver sits on top of the stomach and it can be difficult to perform the surgery if your liver is too fatty.

Not all doctors require it though.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
