I'm 4 months out and doing fabulous also. Down 65 lbs and getting ever closer to Onederland!
That's awesome! I can't wait to be overweight! lol.
Congrats! I can't wait to see below 180. It's been at least 15 years if not more. Before the surgery, I really struggled to envision myself being successful at losing weight because it's been a...
Very loud forceful hiccups for me. I'm 6 weeks post op this week. I'm trying to stop before I get to that point now. It's a little embarrassing in a quiet office during the day lol.
My surgery was five weeks ago and I was so scared! I only lost 8 lbs in the five months before surgery. I'm down a total of 36 lbs now.
I cried on the way to the hospital, thought about backing out....
Mine was a 10 day diet. 7 days of lean protein and veggies and 3 days liquid. Every program is different and each individual is different. Follow your surgeon's instructions. The time will fly by.
Congrats! It'll be here and over with before you know it.
I had my first post op visit with the Dr today. I'll be 4 weeks out on Wednesday.
I've lost 24 lbs since surgery, 32 total.
My BMI went from 43.9 to 38.7 ( Now I'm Class II obese lol)

I will be three weeks out tomorrow and honestly, I'm treating myself as a recovering addict.
My addictions or drug of choice were high sugar, highly refined foods including bread.
I can tell you...
Congratulations! I believe it is a side effect. I'm two weeks post op today and had blurry vision even with my glasses on for a few days.
My surgery was on June 12th. I'm on full liquids until tomorrow. I still struggle to get enough liquids. 3-4 oz of soup, broth, protein shake, is the max I can handle at one time. Sugar free...
I had my surgery two weeks ago today.My dr had prescribed a pill called Emend and a transdermal scopamine patch for nausea. I picked them up at the pharmacy and took the pill at 6:30 a.m. and put the...
I was so scared, almost backed out the morning of, but I did it. I had surgery Wed morning. I struggled the first day to get my fluids in because I couldn't stay awake. My blood sugar was also very...
Thank you!
I'm a nervous wreck! Trying to tie up loose ends at work today, My son has a baseball game tonight at 9:15 PM ( who schedules these things?)
Scared to death, but I'm doing it scared. ...
Today is Day 5 of the pre-op diet. I woke up with a horrible headache, nauseous, and light headed. I couldn't bring myself to stomach a protein shake for breakfast this morning. I ate some of my...
Pre-admission testing completed today. Got my nausea patch and Emend prescription for nausea, bloodwork done (again), swabbed for MRSA, consult with anesthesiology. 7 days and counting. Doing okay...
My emotions are definitely all over the place. I've gotten so anxious about it I've thought about cancelling. I know though, if I did cancel it, I'd be kicking myself in the but a few months from...
12 days to surgery. I am more and more nervous each day as it gets closer.
I get to start my liver shrinking pre-op diet on Sunday. My 24 yr wedding anniversary is on Monday lol. I guess we'll...
Glad to hear you are home and doing well!
I have mine tomorrow. I was told that I will meet with the nutritionist again to go over pre-op diet and follow up with surgeon, and will need to pay my portion of the surgery tomorrow, and will...
Well, I got my new birthdate! June 12th!
All of the sudden, I am super nervous!
Good luck!
It's getting real! It's been not quite three months since my first consultation appointment. Finally got all the pre-req's checked off my chart. They submitted to insurance for approval today!

I have to go back to the sleep doctor on the 16th with my SD card from my CPAP machine to show compliance, before he'll sign off. I've been struggling getting used to the CPAP. I'm a little...
