I will be interested to see what my cholesterol is after 3 months. I have learned that cholesterol is largely hereditary.

Congratulations!! I look forward to that first flight once I drop 200lbs. I hate asking for the seat belt extender and seeing the look on peoples faces when they see you coming towards them. It was like you read my mind.

Toothbrush, toothpaste etc..

All I wanted to do the night of surgery was sleep and hit the pain med button. But I would say a laptop or ipad if you have one. Your cell phone and charger. Maybe some magazines or a book.

I was only in the hospital one night. I took a bunch of stuff and really did not use any of it. I had surgery on WED and went home on thursday. If you use a CPAP you do need to bring that with you to the hospital.

I did the NUT appointments for 6 months. Then I did the psych eval and everything was submitted to my insurance company.

Good luck. I am sure you will be fine. Enjoy the time you have left.

I dont know about you but I never last long when doing it to myself. I guess I know what I like!!! I would not worry about until you try it with your wife. Practice is just that. Practice. I was always more of a game player myself.

A girl I know got pregnant about a year after gastric bypass. She was getting ready to have skin removed she had lost so much weight. She gained all her weight back. The baby was fine.

I have been doing powerade zero. That has no sugar. G2 is lower in sugar than gatorade but it is still kind of high in sugar.

That is a good question. I am only taking one blood pressure pill right now and I am crushing that. I do take a capsule Dexlatin. I think capsules are ok. I am seeing my surgeon tomorrow and that is one of my questions. Will I ever be able to take a pill without crushing it again.

The biggest incision is the one they pulled your stomach out of.

Glad to hear this. I get depressed sometimes myself and wonder if I will ever feel normal again.

I know they are higher in fat than wheat thins but would pork rinds be a good snack for a sleever? Not in the beginning of course. I believe they are high in protein and low in carbs.

I am about 4 weeks out. I usually have about 2 oz of pureed food and get full. I think there was one time where I was able to get 4 oz in.

I had that problem for about 4-5 days after surgery and then it went away

Congratulations!! Great Job!!

My doctor told me I could have tomato soup two days out. I had it with no issues

You will be fine. Everybody is a little nervous. It is major surgery.

Welcome and good luck!!

I have head hunger but I have not really had any real hunger pangs.

I showerd a few days after. Just keep your bandages on and dont let water get directly into any of the incisions especially the drain one.

Powerade zero. Crystal Light. Protein shakes. Broth. Sugar free Jell-o

Nice job. Looking great!!
