I'm a little over 5 weeks out. Had my one month appt. and everything is good. 30lbs down! I haven't had "dumping" yet but I have had food getting stuck. OMG it's the most uncomfortable and very painful feeling. The worst one happened two days ago with some chicken. I thought I was going to die....it wouldn't go up or down and it felt like someone was stabbing me in the chest and back. I just have to remember to take my time and chew. I've been reading everyone's post and it seems like most everyone is doing good! Yeah I can't wait for fruits and raw veggies!

Cool! Thanks everyone!

Hey all! Does anyone know of a good coffee creamer that will not cause "dumping"? I know it should be little or no sugar but what about powder verse liquid Creamer? ??

I'm still bleeding not sure where its coming from and there giving me blood

Praying for you! Hope you get better soon!

Hey all,

I see I'm not alone in wanting to have not done this! I had to go to the doctors today because i was dizzy and faint. He told me I was dehydrated and needed to get more Water in. I'm so miserable. Emotional I don't know how much I can take. All I do is cry and wish I hadn't done this. Physical I'm exhausted, having werid hot flashes (I'm 28), dizzy, and hungry as I've ever been in my life....and I'm hardly sleeping. Please I hope this gets better...

A jp line is just a drainage tube they put in after surgery. Very normal to have one because it helps drain excessive Fluid. Feels very funny when they take it out, I had no pain.

Not to scare the pre-op folks but I swear that JP drain is made out of razor wire!!! Holy moly did that burn when the pulled it out. Plus very unnerving to feel something unwinding around your guts :/

HW 312' date=' pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 240[/quote']

Yeah I thought I was going to pass out when they pulled both of mine out!

Not in to much pain but Deffinatly feel the gas in back in hips. I can't believe I did it!!! No problems right now!!!

Waiting to go back to the OR!!!! Anxious.

IV in...blood thinner shot...pressure stockings on...anti nausea patch on....ready to rock and roll!!! But a little anxious!

So many mixed emotions... I'm ready though! Good luck and prayers to my other surgery buddies today! We made it!!! I will let everyone know how it goes as soon as I can!

Best wishes tomorrow' date=' nervous is very normal.... I will keep you in prayers for a speedy recovery.[/quote']

Thanks so much! Headed to the hospital in a couple hours!

Is anyone else trying to talk themselves out of this? The doctor said its normal but I just keep thinking...have I tried ever diet...is this right? I'm driving myself crazy!!!!

I have to be at the hospital at 7:30. Surgery will be around 9am!

I wish I didn't have to do the prep...my Sunday is going to suck! Blah

So frustrated.

My surgeon has had to pass me off to another Surgeon. And I'm supposed to have my surgery next Friday.

Now I need to meet with the new surgeon' date=' and I have no idea if I am going to keep my surgery date or not.

Unfortunately I am out of the country on business so will have to wait till Monday to see the new guy.

Which is stressful. How am I supposed to start my per-op liquid diet this Wednesday when I don't even know when my surgery date will be.

I cannot even explain my frustration it's that huge!

That really sucks. Hopefully everything will work out. Why did he have to pass you off?

Pre Op today...all clear for surgery!!!

So not only am I vomiting blood one of my sure is now bleeding!

Hang in there! Praying for ya!

Pre op appointment tomorrow! I'm ready to get this done! Good luck to everyone going in tomorrow!

Anyone else feeling overly emotional...I cried almost all day today....totally exhausted

I'm right there with ya!!! My energy is gone and I'm really anxious about my surgery but ready!!!

I've been feeling the same way! I start my Protein Shakes on the 31st but at the moment I'm just eating what I want. My feelings are so mixed right now...one minute I'm ready and the next minute I'm not so sure! lol

I hope everything will work out ok. This "dumping syndrome" has me very worried. I don't want to get sick.

Having my surgery on February 11. I'm excited but very nervous!

Having GB surgery on February 11th. I'm really nervous about everything.
