We concentrate so much on weight ! Sometimes it's the inches lost that really shows up in your success! As one our bariatric veterans has once posted. " It's called Weight loss surgery but it should be called Fat loss Surgery" I'm ok with the inches lost ..

I am scheduled for RNY March 9. Excited and nervous!

I have 60 days to go on 90-day diet. Lost 12 lbs past month. So now 3 lbs below presurgery goal. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I saw my dietitian for the first time today. She was really impressed with how much weight I've lost (and the fact that I had already met my goal weight to be eligible for surgery prior to our meeting). We talked for a bit, told her how I had been doing a lot of research on the surgery, using these forums for support, and showed her my MyFitnessPal app, so she could see how/what I was eating. She told me she'd like me to try breaking up my meals from being 3 daily to 6, so that I'd be more comfortable after surgery with the frequency of how I would need to be eating then. Good advice! She also mentioned that I would need to get an appointment with the nurse before she could schedule me for the surgery, but when she went to talk to her and explained how confident I was and how much I progressed, she went ahead and set up my surgery date, anyways!! April 27th! ♥ The only appointment I have left is a 1-on-1 patient seminar, which is March 6th. I'm so excited, you guys!

My only regret is that I can't chug water anymore lol. I miss getting a gallon down in like... five hours. I struggle to get 60 ounces in some days, but it's definitely getting easier. Also, same as everyone else, I regret not getting it done sooner, even with my complications.

It is fairly common. H. Phylori is the main reason they do the endoscopy. They need to treat it before surgery. 2 weeks should be plenty of time to clear it up before surgery, but ask your doc your questions for the most accurate answers. Whether or not you have to eat with antibiotics, depends on the antibiotic. Ask the pharmacist. But even on a liquid diet, you could eat something on your diet with your antibiotic.

@angiebear yea that’s what I need to keep telling myself. Thanks for your encouraging words. Glad I’m not in this alone

Absolutely it does. Right now it’s just so much harder to regulate your thoughts because you are exhausted, stressed, and struggling. Just because “it’s all in your head” doesn’t make it less real. You are smack dab in one of the toughest parts right now. Your job is to get enough liquids in, and it can be pretty dang daunting and all emcompassing. It should get easier, though. I’ll be rooting for you. ❤️

No regrets at all. It wasn't all easy, but it wasn't all that hard either. I've not had any complications from the surgery and my lifestyle is a lot better.
