Yes please!! I loved reading your story! So inspiring, I do not have a date yet so reading your story really puts it into perspective. Keep up the great work and the journaling

I am so glad this was started! I was asking my NUT this question today. Of course she wants me to work out but I didnt realize how if helped with recovery. I will def start back up! I am pre op still waiting on a date. Have cut out caffeine and carbonation. Trying to eat smaller portions... getting my mind ready, or trying to at least

I feel ya! I met the NUT today and wont see her again till pre op. I hate the waiting game! She has to submit her report to doc and ins. Then they approve or deny... I have been approved for some time now just the final yes or no! Then a date!! I can not wait! I told my parents, my boss, my son and my bestie. I am also trying to cut down on the food amounts and I'm going to the gym. Gotta get a plan down for post op. Yippeeee

Thank you so much! I get gas pains regularly and wake up with massive BM. Yes yes tmi.. So im wondering if it will get worse. Lord I hope not! Thank you for all the great info. Walking it is! Did u guys start a workout regiment before surgery? Or did u just start after?

So I dont hve a date yet, getting close. Doing research still and I hear about the horrible gas pains. So.. I must know, is it gas or do u poop and have relief for a bit? Is it ongoing like u wanna die? Or is it like spasms and contractions? I heard 1 girl say she used a firm smll pillow to rest her incisions on. Wondering if that would while u tried to use the bathroom.. Please, any feedback is much appreciated thank u

Wish I would have seen this last week! I opened up a bit too much also and he wants me to continue counseling. . Well I went to him to get answers. . Thats why i opened up! WRONG! They dont give amswers, theu give judgments!

I do not have a date yet but am pretty excited and hoping for January as my insurance already approved me. Yay

Mine is 2 weeks also. I am so nervous to see whst the nut says. Did u have to buy the supplies? If so how much abouts if not did insurance pay? I have so many questions!

Oh wow! I thought longer. I am still learning. What is the most important thing u have heard or learned so far?

I heard the heartburn is really bad. I have to take my omprazole daily if not I am dying! I am still pre op. No date yet

I hear dump alot.. what does that mean?

That is who is doing mine also! How did it go? I am scared and super excited!

Sandi, sorry to hear about your cramps. How are ya doing now?

How long is surgery?

Where r u guys at? I am in Washington State

I just finished with my phyc eval.. next step is to hear from the nutritionist. I don't have a date yet but hoping for January! My bday is 1-1 so it would be a great month!

Keep up the great work! U inspire me

You guys give me such good advice! I am glad I found this place before my journey! I am set for my first consult with the doc on the 11th of November. I am hoping this will be a quick journey. . . I hate the food addiction! Its worse than beong hooked on meth (which I was) that was very easy compared to food! Good luck everyone.. keep up the postings too! To those of you who feel like wrapping your hands around someone's neck.. I'm praying for you

Great question! ! I wanted to ask that same thing! Good luck.. Do keep us informed

Thank you for replying! How far into your journey are you?

I was really afraid I would lose my boobs. But your pics .. dang ur doing great!! This gives me hope! I havent even had my consult yet but am pumped and ready!

I am in the Tri cities butbhaving surgery in Spokane. Anyone near me?

Is that good?? Lets say tuna.. dobu add mayo to it or just blend up a can of tuna??
