Keep us posted as to how you're doing and good luck!

That's why I didn't tell anyone about my bypass except my husband and my sister. I hope you find the support you need, whether it's online or through a postop support group.

Get to your surgeon tomorrow! It will be extremely difficult to get sufficient nourishment for your baby and yourself, but I am sure it can be done.
I'm confused as to how you can be 5 weeks pregnant and also 5 weeks postop. Did they not do a pregnancy test before surgery?

I want to get a picture taken with my husband for our 20th anniversary in February. I haven't willingly taken a photo in 5 years.

My preop team said people either love or hate buffets. You can probably understand the hate part of it. One of my nurses (who had RNY herself) said some people love buffets because you can have 1 bite of 7 different things, allowing you to experience a variety of tastes. We're all different and will decide what is best for us!

For the first time, I've used the ignore button. Feels good lol.

Ain't nothing easy about this process! If I ever hear that comment, I'm gonna go off on someone lol.

I'm 4 days post-op and told only my hubby, my sister and mother-in-law (who I am very close to). Just didn't want to hear any negativity or unsolicited advice. Now that I'm postoperative and doing well, I don't give a crap who knows!

Welcome! The waiting can really drive you nuts. I used the time to prepare and freeze a bunch of meals for my family to eat the first couple weeks.
Tomorrow is my big day! Hope to see you on here again.

Bypass will be Monday the 11th. Thanks to all the experienced people here for all your advice. Please pray for me and my surgeon. Thanks!
