Poor thing!!! do you know if your blood levels are good? could be off there, plus you just had major surgery...give yourself time to heal and just felax as much as you can!
I'm only 5 days out from mine, but feeling great! I'm sure you'll get better...

I'd have to say you are setting youreself up to fail! yu need to eat what you are suposed to eat, not what you CAN eat. just because you can do something does not mean you should, that's what got most of us in trouble in the first place!

the losers bench is a great place to be!!!

Good morning and thanks for all the support I just figuered out this morning thats normal to be scared but really at the end when u pass the worst part of the process u understand that there was no reason to be scared of.. That the process is not easy but when are positive and put a 100% on it. The process is faster im on my day 8 post opt and today is the day I could say I feel great and I feel the difference... Good luck on you dont be scared try to be has calm as posible. Blessings

Hi my ppl im having surgery tomorrow.. Yeeeeyyy after 2 years of appointments and ups and downs finally the day is coming tomorrow at 8am im very nervous..excited.. Im feeling all kinds of emotions.. And praying to God that everything is going to be fine I was 298 when I first started seen a doctor for surgery..but then has time pass i was so anxious about getting a date for surgery that i just kept on eating and eating i was depressed about some things in my life and about being so overweitgh and i was taking my anger and sadness on the food.. So i went up to 334 pounds being my highest weigth ever I was so sad when i saw those numbers on the scale..The surgeon told me if i dont go under 320 before surgery he was not doing it for me Then the sphyquiatric didnt clear me.. So thats depressed me more than i was they send me to take counseling for 6 months.. and i look at my children im a mother of 4 girls and 1 boy and i said to myself i need to do something or ill not last long.. my high blood pressure when higher then ever.. So i put my self on a diet cero junk food cero rice..bread and Pasta or sweets.. I started eating lots of green veggies..tuna and chicken breast and i lost 30 pounds in 6 weeks wow i couldnt believe it.. But then i gain back some weigth because i started eating rice and bread.. I love rice.. But it was not good for the diet. Well now i went back to the diet on August 13.. And on Sept 21 I started the liquid diet i only have to be on it for 5 days. Well today is my last day thanks God and im on 312 pounds All ready for tomorrow.

So the day has finally come. After just about 2 years of waiting and struggling, I will be having my Gastric bypass on halloween. I am so excited!!!

I figured I'd start a post-op specific group! I'm in my bed right now waiting for IVs and such. I'll be a post-op in a few hours!

Went from a 47.9 to a 23...normal finally. 279 to 134.

I think when ppl say that they mean muscle takes up less space then fat.... if you are converting fat to muscle you are getting smaller even if you stay the same weight

Hello all! My surgery date is September 26th also!!

I found out my insurance denied the preauthorization about a month ago. I have been tracking down notes from every doctor I have seen for the past 10+ years and finally delivered it all to my surgeon's office this afternoon. The scheduler faxed 98 pages to my insurance company...now to wait for some good news! Please, if you are so inclined, say a little prayer for me. I am so ready to do this.

I can't wait to be on this side of the losers bench! September 16th!
