You guys are amazing! Thank you for the responses. At first I had a hard time with protein too. It's hard to keeping sipping on something when you're not hungry. But it is getting better! Today I've been pretty nauseous. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better!

Hi! Congratulations! I received my approval letter mid September. My doctor's office called to schedule surgery a few days later, November 12th. They scheduled my pre-op visit with the doctor for October 24th. My pre-op testing was scheduled a week before surgery. Good luck!!

Hi everyone! My name is Amanda. I'm so happy to have found a place to talk with other people. I had gastric bypass on November 12th. This past Friday I had my 2 week post-op visit, since October 24th, I've lost 34lbs. I also started the puréed stage of my diet on Friday. I have good days & bad days(mostly good). On the occasional bad day, I feel like this process isn't going to be successful. Sometimes I can't see the finish line(not that there is a finish, I know it's life long). But most days, I am excited for the future. I have a five year old son & a husband that give me motivation. I'm curious to meet others & see their journey!
