Does anyone else have this going on? Anything we can do other then always sipping a drink? Thanks, Karl

As many of you know I had a few bumps in the road on day of surgery. I just wanted to share and be honest with everyone I am so proud of myself and not going looking back with any regret! I know everyday I am just going to get stronger and stronger. I'm very happy with my decision. I just thought this may help any others of you that feel that you may be struggling. Karl ????

Thank you all for all your prayers! I'm coming home today after 6 long days. I can't wait to start feeling better and starting my weight loss journey. It only gets better now ????????

Good news everyone I had my gastric bypass surgery on Monday. Long story short they nicked my spline and I started to lose mass amounts of blood after my surgery. They took me back in for emergency surgery for 4 hours and ended up giving me 9 units of blood. Now I am still in ICU But they just told me I'm doing great and will be getting moved to a regular room today and maybe even home this weekend or Monday. I'm having no issues keeping all the fluids down and no throwing up at all. Feeling much better then then still feeling weak. Thank yall for all your prayers and support and I just wanted to share the good news side of this ????... Now things only get better and better for me and I'm now on the losers bench! Thanks again yall! Karl

My surgeon says I am recovering quickly and if I keep it up I'll be home by mid weekend. ????

I have been in the hospital since Monday and they have no plans of sending me hope a least till Monday. I'm told they somehow hit my spline and I filled up with blood so back off the the OR I was to have that fixed. It required me to have 8 pints of blood! Today if my first day I am actually feeling decent Hali way normal. Please keep me in you thoughts and prays ????????????

This morning is my big day! Please keep me in your prayers ????

Aug 14th here at St. Vincent's Medical Center in Jacksonville, FL

@@tracynicole5181 did you have your surgery at St. Vincent's?

Would any of you please give me an idea of what a normal sample meal for you is several months after your Bypass? Maybe one sample of eating something at home and if you went out to a restaurant? Thank you much for your feedback on this I would just love an idea of what I might be able to enjoy later on after my surgery and I am on normal food then. Thanks again, Karl

Awesome news! So do you have Aetna Ins. by any chance? I am waiting now for an answer from my Ins Co.

Staying strong on my pre-op diet but I do need to say it's very hard... This might be the hardest part ???? but in the end it's all going to be worth it... ????

I'm shopping this weekend for my pre-op protein power and would like to know what's one of the best and most popular among our group here. Thanks everyone for your input... ????
