Anyone having surgery on Sept 30, 2015?

[LoseItKacy 347]

The 10 countdown has begun for us and I was wondering if anyone else is having their surgery on that day! It would be nice to talk to others who are in the final countdown to surgery day!!!

If your anything like me, your beyond excited and nervous!

Also, does anyone have any last minute advice on ANYTHING?! I've really over prepared (if that's possible) but I just don't want to miss out on learning anything I can before the big day!!!

I'm having a bypass revision on Sept 29. SW will be about 280. Hoping to get to 150. I'm excited and anxious. I've been doing my pre-op diet for 4 weeks. Want to make things as easy as possible. I'm in the Seattle WA area. Where are you?

I'm in Minnesota.

My highest weight was 275. I got to 257 on my own when I decided to have the surgery and started the program. With 4 months on a diet plan I got to 245. Then I started my liquid diet 6 days ago and I'm 239 (I want to be at 235 by surgery). My ultimate goal weight is 135 so I will have exactly 100 pounds to lose after surgery! Best of luck to you!!!

Thank you! I am beyond excited! This long process is FINALLY coming to a close. With only 12 hours left to go! I weighed myself this morning and I met my goal of 235! So I have exactly 100 pounds to lose after tomorrow! I am so ready! Knowing this time tomorrow my life will be completely different is mind blowing! I am so ready!

Best of luck on your journey!!!

@@LoseItKacy I am tomorrow too! Good luck to you. I have lost 8 lbs on my liquid diet and I am thrilled.

I am having my final cup of chicken bullion Soup with unflavored Protein for the night.

See you on the other side!

Hi!
I had my surgery too on Sept 30th. How are you all doing now 2,5 weeks post-op?
I got a bit worried this morning, I weighed myself on the scales at home, and Ive GAINED about 0.6kg since Wednesday or Thursday. (in total since surgery Ive lost about 8 kgs, well 7.6kgs now then ) How is that even possible? I mean, Im eating exactly the way Im supposed to, and it's already going in the wrong direction.

Has anyone else had anything similar happen to them?
(Im in the UK by the way, and this is my very first post ever on BP)

Hello @@hbsk and welcome. I was sleeved on 9/30 as well.

If you are following your plan, just stay the course.

I gained all 8 lbs I had lost on my pre-surgery diet back afrer surgery from the IV Fluid in the hospital. I lost then froze (stall) for 7 days. The scale has started to move again now. Don't give up! You can search this site on stall or 3 week stall and you will find it is not common.

Good luck on your journey ☺

@@hbsk I had to Google kgs and Congratulations on your weight loss so far. I think you are doing great! I am about the same as you. I have lost 20 lbs so far so we are really close.

I just had my follow up with my surgeon on Thursday and he was pleased.

If you are still concerned, you could call your NUT or surgeons office.

[hbsk 1]

Thank you @@mykdzmom for your reply! I had my follow up on Tuesday and the surgeon (not my surgeon, he'd called in sick, so I met someone Ive never met before) was very happy with me. However, since Tuesday nothing's changed (or if it's gone up 0.2kg, I cant really remember atm)
I will definitely search for the 3 week stall, I have been trying to, but I guess I was using the wrong search words.
But can I ask another question: that little bar that tells you how much is lost and how much is yet to loose, how do I get that to my profile?

[disappearingdebbie 8]

Had a bypass revision on Sept 29. I went through the same thing. I would be down 10 then back up 3.... I was disappointed but kept on track and weighed yesterday and suddenly...... 7 lbs down! A total of 35 lbs since surgery!

We have to hang in there - follow our orders and believe in the surgery and let it "do it's thing".

I'm looking forward to the Holidays and feeling REALLY well!

[mykdzmom 387]

@@hbsk no fear, the scales will move again. ☺

You can add the bar in your profile. I had to do it when signed on my home computer. I can't figure out how to do it on my phone. I need to add mine for weight loss as well.

[mykdzmom 387]

@disapearingdebbie way to stick with your plan! I bet you were thrilled. Congrats!

[hbsk 1]

I DID IT! Haha Thanks @@mykdzmom for helping me with the ticker, and thanks to you and to @@disappearingdebbie for support (and congrats on your amazing weight loss!).

My ticker shows the total amount of weight lost, but it's "only" 15lbs since my surgery :/ Maybe it's because Im not on liquids anymore? But like you said, the scales should move again. Hopefully very soon, it is a tad disheartening.
Have either of you had any issues with keeping anything down? Ive not even had a hint of nausea. One of my friends had a bypass 3 years ago, but one of the stitches was a bit too tight, so she ended up being very sick all the time, and had to have another surgery after a week. During that week, she lost 20lbs, which is crazy! And in all honesty, I'm feeling better about my recovery thanks to that, but I wouldn't mind her numbers, haha
