Here are some side by side before and after from before surgery and 2 months after. The picture in the jean shorts is 3 months after and the picture in striped sleeveless blouse is 3 1/2 months after surgery. I have went from 303 lbs to 244 lbs since March 17th. I have fallen off good eating habits and the gym but getting back into it. Hope this is motivating. It's hard at times but soooo worth it!!!!

Thanks for everyone's advise and suggestions. I am a cherry coke person but have adapted. I drink Canada Dry raspberry seltzer Water and the fizz is what kills my craving for cherry coke. I don't drink pop often it's the seltzer water that is hard for me to give up. I go to surgeon 2m and will ask again about it lol. My mom had the full gastric bypass 7 years ago and eats and drinks what she wants. It's portioned controlled of course but she doesn't have trouble with salads fried foods ect carbonated beverages she lost over 140 lbs and kept it off so I do think with time proper proportions and exercise after surgery down the line fast food or not recommended food is ok in moderation.
I agree. I really try to stay away from pop period. The seltzer water really helps the cravings.

I brought my fav throw blanket and pillow it really helped to have things from home for comfort. I also recommend some type of slippers or house shoes and a bathrobe. I think those are most important. Because they want you to walk around and it makes it a lot easier. I brought toiletries and did not use them. I did bring a comfy outfit to wear home and recommend a pillow for the car ride I have a lot of speed bumps in my neighborhood and they were awful. I also had my hair French braided morning of surgery and then didn't have to worry about it for a couple days. (My hair is down to my waist so it's a job in itself)

I had my surgery the 17th. My left shoulder hurt more then anything. I went home late on the 18th. I had no nausea they gave me a patch behind my ear day of surgery. Everything went well until today. I'm
At a standstill. Stuck with getting in enough fluids and Protein. I'm trying. Nothing sounds good to me. Nothing I crave to eat I can eat. I'm hungry. I just am overwhelmed and frustrated. Good thing is there is basically no pain I haven't thrown up and I'm able to walk around and keep up with the household.

I had surgery on the 17th. I was the same way. Had fears of not waking up and having complications. The first time I saw my anesthesiologist I asked did it go ok?? Lol and he wasn't even my surgeon. I expected to be in so much pain and I was shocked. Pain wasn't bad and actually bearable. I don't know if it helped to expect the worse with pain and then have it be better then expected. A lady who had the surgery told me she felt
Like had been ran over by a truck I was so scared it's not anywhere near that. I also was scared of complications and I did everything my doctor told
Me and it paid off because I had zero complications. After getting to the hospital 2 hours early and
Going from intake
To pre op and waiting it was nice when my surgeon came to say hi I went into the operating room and then it was over. I woke up and it was done. They have me
Morphine at first for pain I did have trouble with it so they switched and I only needed it for the day of after that extra strength liquid Tylenol did the job. It's normal to be nervous but honestly after being at the hospital for an hour and having about 20 ppl ask me my name bday and what surgery I was having I was like ok just cut me already lol good luck!!!!
