Thanks for all the support I am feeling really excited myself I can see thought that the diet is not the same for everyone for example my doctor told me to start eating after 3 days so I have already had some yogurt and baby food. Also, Protein shakes are not really part of the diet here. In Europe there are not many products for Protein powder... but still it would be easier to take in the minimum amount of protein. Are there any other Europeans who can help with this? My postop pains are almost totally gone, the only thing is that I feel like air stuck between my ribs, but it could be worse... Yesterday I walked for two and a half hour... - Dora

Hi! I had my surgery one day before, I am 29 and I weigh 330 so I think we have a similar journey ahead. Maybe we can be bypass bodies or sg... I am sorry I am not very used to this support group thing. I am a total newbie. What do you think?

Hi! Thank you for rooting. I had my surgery yesterday and I feel quiet well I have already had a big walk and I am sipping the Water. Of course, I have a little pain but not that bad. So thanks for your support! Now the real hard part is coming... feeling excited and a little bit scared of failiure Dora AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE OTHER GLADIATORS!!!!

Hi Everyone! I am new here, but my surgery is on Monday and I don't want to go under the knife fully aware. Naturally I did my research but after the surgery are there any questions you wished you have asked from your doctor before the surgery? thanks.

Hello All, I've just joined the site myself and I also have the surgery in october, 27th... I am so excited...one week from now. I am European and unfortunately we don't have as many patients as you have in the USA hence in all of hungary there is only one support group so I am trying to be really active online to help through the emotional part of the journey.... Everybody, what are you planning to do to support the mental recovery?
