I've been giving this some thought too. For years, my goal was always to stick to this or that diet; this or that exercise program because it is the latest thing. And by Feb 1st, if not sooner, my resolutions are out the door, I feel that I've failed again.
So, this year I'm starting off with surgery on Dec 30th. From there I am resolving to take it one day at a time and to do everything in my power to make that day count!
I of course have the daily nutrition goals of drinking Water and getting in our Protein and veggies. Also the daily exercise. If we get all that done in a day, BIG WIN! if not, tomorrow is a brand new day!

I was just thinking about this. My resolutions year after year have been to lose weight, get healthy, etc. This year I decided not to make a resolution and stick to what I'm doing! I had RNY on 9/22, down 53 pounds, exercising six days a week and feeling great. I have 47 pounds to goal, and am filled with hope and optimism! Do what works for you, and may all our healthful dreams come true! ❤️????

there are a few of us who have Dec 23rd surgery dates. We have formed a small support group. Let me know if you are interested in swapping emails and sharing your thoughts.

My surgery is Tomorrow!!! I had three pre-op appointments yesterday and see the surgeon this afternoon. My report time is 6AM!
I am starting to get somewhat nervous but not near as much as I had expected.
Many blessings to all that are headed to surgery this month. We'll are be starting the New Year much healthier!!

I had Migraines more often then not before RNY and took Topamax daily & a suppression med if I had a beak thru Migraine.
I have found that since the surgery I very rarely get a headache & that Tylenol takes care of the 2 I have had in the 3 months since I had the surgery.
I hope that everyone is so lucky.

There is a group of three of us getting bypass on the 23rd. We've been emailing each other for support. Let me know if you want in on our group

I have known my surgery date for a few weeks now but just found this group. I did find a couple of other ladies who have the same surgery date as me and we have been emailing each other a few times a week.
Any additional support is welcome and appreciated! I am having the bypass surgery, as are the others who I'm emailing with.
My wls class is on wed Dec 3rd. I'm sure we will discuss Vitamins and Protein Shakes, also the requirements for the liquid diet. I have my vitamins ordered and also have my Protein shakes. I haven't bought much else because I don't know the specific requirements being made by my doctor.
I feel ready for the surgery- definitely excited and looking forward to the changes that are ahead.

Is this group on Fb ?? If so I would love to join.

I had united healthcare medicare last year so I had to change my plan to humana gold. They will pay for the surgery and my doctor takes it. If your father has medicare its open enrollment until Dec. 7. He can switch carriers till then. Hope this helps.

I have my pre op class on Dec 3rd. I meet with the doctor on the 15th and start my liquid diet on Dec 9th. How much overall weight do you have to lose? I have about 100 pounds.

My boyfriend went to GNC and got me a deluxe blender kit for $30 that is incredible - it comes with several cups (large and med), plain tops for storage, sipper top and top with a hole for the straw, as well as the plastic straws, and it came with a chopping tool and small cup. It's about the same size as the bullet I think - but it's a lot for $30 bucks.
