I was terrified too. My surgery was 12/18 and it goes by quickly. The fear was by far worse than the reality. I I am shrinking! I started at my highest weight of 289. I lost some weight during the pre-op 2 weeks of Liquid Protein. Today my bathroom scale said 245! This surgery was truly the best Christmas gift I could have possibly gotten. Hang in there and be gentle with yourself. I will keep you in my thoughts.

I am 12 days post op. I have done pretty good sleeping. On some night in the first week I was uncomfortable for too many hours in bed, so I moved to my recliner. I slept pretty good in the upright, relcined position. I have also taken two Tylonel PM pills at night about an hour before bed, to get sleepy, so I was ready for bed and sleep when I hit the sheets. I am sleeping better and better each night as I continue to heal.

I had my gastric bypass just over a week ago and I am struggling to sleep for more than. 2 hours at a time before waking up for 2-3 hours. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions?

My surgery date was 12/18. On a liquid diet for 2 weeks then 3 weeks of soft and puréed foods. Felt more human today because I had some Tomato soup! Feeling pretty good but still dealing with gas and irregularity, probably from the whey Protein Shakes. I am looking forward to being able to sleep on my side again. Over 30 lbs down since the 2 week pre-op Protein diet!

Thank you for your words. I feel better everyday about my decision. I can't believe how much weight I am losing during this pre-op time. Barely any hunger and it is good practice! I am feeling really clear headed and calm.

It can be scary once the date is set. I still get butterflies sometimes but this holiday season we are giving ourselves and those we love an incredible gift for a healthier life.

I am on day 4 of 2 weeks of Protein Shakes. It is testing my resolve! I keep bouncing between excitement about the process and doubts about whether I should do it. Has anyone else felt like they were on an emotional roller coaster ?
