I agree about the tape measure. Because although I seeing the pounds drop on the scale I can’t see it in my body yet. So I measured and found that I had lost inches everywhere as well. I purchased the Rephno tape measure. It’s great because it digital so it’s easy for me to measure everywhere by myself.

I had this same issue. What got me through was the chicken Bouillon with added protein that i purchased from bariatricpal store. The sodium is high but I needed a break from everything sweet and it had the required protein. you could try getting an unflavored protein and add it to a low sodium bone broth. It may be enough to get you through.

Hey friends. My surgery was February 14, 2022 at 2 pm. My surgery was textbook. No issues for my surgeon. I was in my room by 6 pm that evening. Now what happened after that is a much longer story. If anyone wants to hear it I will be happy to share. I wish everyone else a happy and healthy time as we do this thing!!

Hey Feb Buddies. I am 48 hours away from surgery and I think I’m ready. I’m just nervous. I think I’m nervous about the surgery itself - like the anesthesia, waking up and the post op pain. In the last 72 hours I have had cravings for foods. I think it’s about the very limited diet for the last 12 days. Has anyone else experienced that? Other than the diet and the packing I’m not sure what else I should be doing. Any advice? How are you or did you get ready? What did you do to pump yourself up for surgery? Any advice is appreciated!! Lala

Hi. I am having my gastric bypass on the same day 12/22/21 in Stuart Florida. Do you realize our date is a palindrome kinda. Anyway. I wish you well. I’m struggling to get my insurance company to approve my cardiac clearance testing because they say they don’t know why I’m having it even though my primary sent the referral explaining why and the cardiologist and sent in his notes. It is there requirement that I get the clearance for surgery but won’t approve it. I’m afraid I’m going to have to pay out of pocket in order to have it done in time for surgery. I’ve called multiple times spoke to multiple people but the same outcome. Any advice

Hi. My surgery is scheduled for 12/22/21. I’m still going through the pre op clearances. I’m in Florida. But we can be friends any way
