  1. I did lol! I wanted to eat everything for the last time. ( over and over again) lmao!! Once I got on the liver shrink I pulled myself together and lost 10 lbs but had McDonald's the night before my surgery. I love, love, love food. But all the bad stuff. I now learning how to eat healthy because if I don't my pouch will let me know about it. Haha.

  4. Cracking up reading this thread hahahha. Well i guess when I find a partner ( recently separated) that all the possible questions I could come up with regarding sex and bypass will have already been answered. Hahahha. Women rock!! Lol. And love the guys input also!!!
  5. Oh thank you thought I was loosing my mind. I have not slept all night, but do not feel tired. And I know about the reversal on the pain meds. My mother had shoulder surgery and instead of her laying down sleeping when I went to her house, the freaking house was spotless. Haha. Been doing some research ( since I have been up all night) and this appears to be common. Better not remain a pattern. Lol.

  18. Oh please listen to my experience, I thought oh Serena you have been doing so well an it's Easter just mush up some stuffing ( because I loved stuffing) notice the loved. So I had a palm full of stuffing. Umm I dumped for 2 hours and let me just tell you it felt like two hours of child labor. Be appreciative of the soups and yogurts I know I now have a new appreciation for them. Dumping is no joke!! Ugh makes my heartbeat fast just writing about it. Serena.
