clothes
Its so funny, I had some jeans I bought that were way small and I put them aside. I guess I waited 2 weeks too long because when I pulled them out yesterday they looked like circus pants!

Hunger dorsnt go away?
The same symptoms can happen from dehydration and from dumping.

Calorie counting (early stages)
Ive never really had to worry about calories. I dont consume hardly anything

Not sure what to expect!
Once you get going on more solid foods you will see just how hard it would be to overeat. The pain and instant illness will empty your pouch in 2 seconds

In laws dinner today
I dont mind that they know I had surgery, but its none of their business. However if asked I wont lie. They are annoying but they are family. I think its so funny how when you lise weight everyone else feels suddenly fat! Yet when I was fat they would tell me all kinds of reasons not to.diet. Curious how misery loves company

Any one have surgery with a starting bmi around 35
I would say if you have a chance to just change your diet to control your problems I would not have surgery. My bmi was 44. I do not regret surgery but would have loved it if it hadnt come to that. Surgery is a big step. Be sure you actually need it before you do it.

There is an uncomfortable pressure that you will feel and sometimes it is down in your rib area. Wierd I know

Hospital bag
Baby wipes for cetain and face cream. It will feel nice to clean your face in your bed. I too brought my own pillow and it was a lifesaver

In laws dinner today
They know I had stomach surgery, they just dont know what kind. Nothing came up and noone commented or complimented, but I know my sis in law noticed because she started talking about how she needed to lose weight really bad

Insurance question
Yes I would find out on your own , the office could be bogged down and one misplaced paper could spell a long wait for you
-
Grrrr...(insurance paperwork)
I understand. I went from first visit to surgery in 20 days because I did all the leg work with insurance myself.

program fee?
No fee here. I chose a place that gives support for life for free

is it good news or bad news
You will need to get a years worth of medical records to take with you to your surgeons appointment that way they dont have to track them down, that.part could take a while. The surgeons office will help you from start to finish

I have an embarrassing question
- Overeating since im gonna have surgery
I would say goidbye to caffeine sooner than later. It will give you a massive headache. Quit it before you have to stop migrane pills. Once you get past the 72 hrs of killer headache you feel better- Liquid diet runs
Yes the runs are a part of it. If no solids go in, no solids come out- I thought that your hunger went away with RNY?
Its the feeling of emptiness in yoyr pouch that brings discomfort, but in comparison to the big stomach..no you dont feel hungry that way again.- In laws dinner today
Okay so I havent seen my in laws since thanksgiving. I most likely weighed 30 lbs more than now. I have to go there today. They dont know about the surgery and last time I didnt really look much different but now I do. I am really hoping to be ignored. I hate talking about my weight with people I dont trust. I can talk to a stranger better! What should I say if they press the point?- Stomach growling
Sometimes the bug stomach still growls and rumbles. Its funny- Hunger dorsnt go away?
You feel hunger differently. Its more like a feeling of emptiness in the pouch that causes discomfort.- Weight Gain
Could be hormonal. Are you on a birth control that may be caysing the weight or anti depressants? - Overeating since im gonna have surgery
