Hello, I'm Kimberly. My surgery is scheduled for April 21st and I'm committing myself to becoming very successful afterwards. I would love the opportunity to meet people willing to take this journey with me. I'm a healthcare professional and I work 1st shift. I'm available evenings and weekends.

I have found a few of gastric bypass groups on facebook. I pray you are feeling better. I am interested in a local support group. I live in Gastonia, and I will be having my surgery 9/12/14. I also live in, Gastonia, NC. Although, I'm a Newbie & just getting started with all if it. My husband is having doubts, concerns, and really NOT WANTING ME TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH IT, AT ALL!!! I'm super excited about it though because it's something that I've dreamt about and wanted for over 15 years or more now. I don't have any friends on here nor do I know and understand on how to get friends in these forums and posts. Could please give me all the info, details, and a complete review of your completely entire experience was like which actual surgery did u have and why that kind, how the recovery was following surgery, and basically your current results are with all information and details were/are, pretty please???? I come in height Wise at, 5'7 & my starting weight was 315.2 lbs as of, May 20th, 2016. This is also the biggest n most heaviest I've ever been within my life and I'm only 33 years old. On that day though they did start me on, Phentermine, 37.5mg tablet, once daily, just to begin with. Sammie Nealy

I was looking for a place to hold it but I've been admitted to the hospital like 3 more times since April with this last time being in July. I'm just getting back into the swing of things. I apologize for dropping the ball.

I know I'm not eating and drinking enough. I get about 80-90 grams of protein but I will drink two Premier protein drinks each day plus almond milk and protein powder.

I have Cigna and got approved in three business days.

How did surgery go?

That's a great idea because I've left messages at a few places. One said they already had a support group but we could join them. If we met at a park, Saturday mornings would be best for me because I work in Rock Hill until 530pm most days.

I'm so envious. I feel like I'm not losing weight at all. Tomorrow makes one month. Day of surgery I was 240. I've been at 227/229 for two weeks now.

There's a great YouTube video that demonstrates why. The fluid pushes the food through the pouch too fast causing you yo dump or feel hungry too soon. The video shows him put applesauce in a funnel. The applesauce drips slowly through but when he adds water, the applesauce is kinda liquified and pours out fast.

Try a week. I can't drink that much water.

Well welcome. When I was finished with the preop stuff it all seemed to happen so fast.

I totally stopped losing weight. Apparently I'm not eating and drinking enough. Are you eating six times each day?

I pray all goes well. I know this is exciting.

I use Resource Beneprotein. I just make sure the food is less than 140 degrees and I mix it in. [ATTACH]44365[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]44364[/ATTACH]

I'm on soft foods

About a week out I couldn't stop crying. The doctor said it was the anesthesia and prescribed prozac. I only took one. Fortunately I have a good support system

Me too!!!!!!! All of it. Lol

I slept until 3pm yesterday and it was a struggle to get up so I feel you!

I wouldn't. I think it's a hard food.

Thanks. The last thing I need is another dumping episode.

I've been meaning to get gatorade

You're welcome

Thank you. I haven't moved yet but my headache is gone. That's a good sign.

I'm sorry. Uggghhh

I agree. You need to speak to whoever is on call.
