Hello all I haven't been on in a lil while, hope all is well with everyone. Went to Dr for my 90 day post op I'm down 115lbs, from a 56 pant size to a 40 & from a 6xl to 3xl shirt. Weighed in at 330, Dr said things are great the only meds I take these days are vitamins.

They took mine out before I left the hospital. It was uncomfortable but nothing to bad. The left one hurt more because the nurse forgot to cut the stitch that was holding it in. Really getting the iv hurt more.

Hello all I haven't been on in a while I got a new phone & forgot my log in info..Lol well I had my one month checkup on last week.. Dr was pleased, dietician was pleased, endocrinologist was really pleased...things are going great I had bypass,hernia & gall bladder removal on jan 28th.. I've lost 79lbs total as of March 9th, Dr also took me off my cholesterol meds, & told me to stop taking my diabetes meds at my one month checkup. Im down from a 52 Jean size to 42 from a 6xl to 3xl shirt. Great progress for 30 days. Im ready to start exercising I'd really like to get to 250lbs I started out at 446lbs. Hope everyone is doing great with their post op, im really doing great eating small theres really nothing I haven't tried to eat except steak, although im really burnt out on Crystal light lol.

We'll yesterday was my one week appt but dr closed his office due to snow so I couldn't go kinda bummed me out. But I'm feeling better everyday still get tired really fast but probably my own fault I'm not getting enough protein I've probably spent $200 on shakes & I just hate em. It's been lots of crystal light I've prob got 10 different kinds lots of water too which is something I've never drank in the past. Did sneak a teaspoon full of potatoes the other night. I'm looking forward to a piece of deli meat not gonna lie! Any thoughts on other things to drink???

Anybody have pain under the left breast? Kinda like in your top 2 ribs?

Dr says not until week 2 or 3, but I'm doing ok so I might try a lil of one to see if I can tolerate it.

My drains came out Friday before I left the hospital ( ouch ) lol. Still doing well. Drinking a lot if crystal light & water. Only able to drink a lil of a protein shake right now. Trying to figure out other things to drink, Popsicles seem to make me gag not a fan of broth kinda stuck.

Omg horrible taste in my mouth & like a film over it. Had surgery Tuesday it turned out to be over 6 hours. But I stopped pain meds Wednesday morning because of being sick, doing ok a lil pain it really hurt when they removed the drains. Had my first protein shake today only got about 3oz down, drinking lots of water & crystal light. Going to try & go to the mall with the wife tomorrow.

I'm feeling ok, been resting a lot. Lots of drinking fluids tried my protein shake today could only do about 3oz. But lots of going to the bathroom. Glad your doing well.

Well had surgery Tuesday at 11am what was supposed to be a couple hours turned into a 6 hour surgery, lots of sickness afterwards wed morning I told them stop giving me pain meds because I've never been able to handle them. Had kidney issues come up had a lil blockage but dr said probably swelling. Got to come home yesterday (Friday) didn't do anything but sleep & pee.. It was a rough couple days in hospital Tuesday night & wed I couldn't really see anything but blurry shapes. But I haven't had pain meds since Wednesday , still drained & feel like I'm coming down off the morphine like a junkie on tv. Been drinking water .& crystal light going to try a shake tonight. Really the worst pain I have is the IV site in my hand. Hope everyone's getting by good.

I only had to do liquid for 3 days the third day was the toughest. Not sure I could do 10 days.

Surgery tomorrow morning. Might not be so bad if this headache goes away.

How was the pain after? How long did you stay in hospital. I'm having my hernia fixed & gall bladder yanked out with my bypass on Tuesday just curious.

Surgery Tuesday at 11am (ish) only been on this liquid pre op diet since yesterday & I'm already about to go insane , I think my stomach just bit my liver lol. I've been getting more nervous also even thought about is it really worth it??

Yeah he's been telling me what to expect , sent me pics of his hospital dinners. Lol he's not just a friend he's my lawyer too lol.

Ugggg I almost dropped the ball, thought my pre op meeting & testing was Thursday it's actually tomorrow glad my wife asked me why we I had 2 different days wrote down. Surgery Tuesday , hernia, gall bladder & bypass. It's almost here & I'm a bag of nerves.

Yes my surgery is the 28th also. I haven't bought anything but some broth yet. Lol I go Thursday to meet with the dietician & do pre op tests. My friend had surgery Friday with the same dr I'm using he came through good & already lost 10lbs. I'm nervous but hoping for the best.

I'm the 28th also, my pre op testing & meeting with the dietician isn't until the 23rd though. I'm getting more nervous everyday. Lol

Oh yes very nervous, hopefully I don't chicken out lol, I had my gall bladder surgery scheduled 2 times over the past few years & canceled I just been dealing with the pain, but I'm ready for a change ready to drop this weight & get to do so much more with my kiddos.

Ok I'm having my bypass on 1/28 don't meet with dietician till 1/23 but I'm needing to go grocery shopping this week & was Wanting to get some things I'll need. I'm sure everyone's different but is there anything I can buy now to get a head start. Anything everyone needs to eat or drink in the days follow in surgery? Thanks for your help.

Good to hear about the post op I'm really nervous I'm scheduled for surgery 1/28 I've been worried about the extra procedures I'm having done ( gallbladder & hernia repair ). I got 2 lil ones at home ages 4 & 6 so I gotta heal up fast.

Thinking I need to buy a blender I'm hearing a lot of purée stuff too. Lol this should be interesting

I'm definetly ready to lose the acid reflux. lol dr asked me if I wanted it all done at once I said sure because if you don't I probably won't be back lol. Had a umbellical hernia fixed a few years ago then a month later dr says oh you have gall stones & your gall bladder needs to go when do you want to do it? Lol I said when I have too that was 4 years ago

Dr told me if it was just the bypass I could go home the next day, but because of the extra procedures plan to stay 2-3 days.

I had that issue , my dr is removing my gall bladder & fixing a hernia the same time as my bypass.
