My surgery was 8/23 /16 too. I'm at 97 pounds but I started at 368. At 271 now. You look awesome!

Oh I'm sorry ... thought you had the sleeve. Well I had the sleeve and it has been good to me as the bypass has been equally as good to you. I wish you continued success . U look 👏🏾 awesome.

I'm new to the group and just had my surgery March 7th. I have been on a waiting list for at least 5 years. It took me 1 whole year to apply after the doctor gave me the papers. I was so scared. I got the call to start the liquid diet. The day of my surgery I thought I would be stressed seeing as I wasn't really ready for the Surgery when I aplied as well as its a life changing operation. Surprisingly I was crazy calm. I don't understand it. I get anxiety from time to time so I thought I would need someone to hold my hand through it. I guess I was truly ready to change my life. Pre-op I lost 15 pounds and to date (9 Days post) I have lost 27.8 pounds. It's so exciting. I'm now in the 200's that I have not seen in 3 years. Gained almost 50 pounds after deciding to quit smoking. [emoji377] Getting my protine intake is a struggle and truly hard work. Just never hungry and hiccups 24/7. Even in my sleep. [emoji99] NO regrets. I see a huge difference already and this is just the beginning of my new life. #Healthymindhealthyhearthealthybody [emoji307]MelissaEC[emoji307]

Had my surgery yesterday as well! I did get up a few times throughout the night to pee. Currently just have a lot of pressure on my upper stomach I think just from gas. Got to start my clear liquids today! Hope you're recovery goes smoothly!!

I am scheduled for March 22nd!

concentrate on amount of food choices given. drink your protein drinks and water You will not fail you will do wonderful. Believe in yourself

Good luck tomorrow. I know the anxiousness, my surgery 3/28 - seems like it is taking forever to get here. I'm also in CA. Keep us posted on how you are doing....

It's frustrating isn't it! Lol it actually has made me a fantastic cook though. I can't stand frozen boxed pre made food anymore so I just make everything from scratch and now it taste fine. Processed food helped get us to the mess we had become so steer clear of that baby.

I agree. It makes me think that I can have those same results. Sadly, my surgery won't be until August either.
