I am about 3 weeks out about to be able to eat soft foods. My nutritionist told me no grains until I reach my goal weight because they fight against the weight loss process. We all need to be in therapy because food is an issue otherwise we would have control of it. I believe that one day we will have that control

Well I am officially 2 days post op. More pain than I thought I would have but when you have surgery alp choli or not you are going to have pain. Does any one have any recommendations on now to mix the plain Protein powder with the hot broth. I am getting a jelly mess on top. it is freaking me out. I know this is going to get better.

I still can't believe this is happening. My gastric bypass is tomorrow morning, bright and early. I know God has got me and the surgical team who are very competent at their jobs. I am just trying to be peaceful about how I will react after surgery. I suppose I will find out soon enough. Blessings to all and remember that Jesus loves you and so do I.

I am having the gastric bypass tomorrow as well. Many. prayers and blessings to you. May God be with on your journey

Hi all sirgery is scheduled for 9/28/15 so I am starting my pre-op diet on 9/13/15. This is really going to happen!! Does anyone have any advice about the pre-op diet? I am upset with myself because I have veered off my healthy eating so now I have to do a carb cleanse again, not looking forward to it.

Hi all, Tomorrow I will be having my EGD, with a colonoscopy throne in because I am a lucky girl . This is the last thing on my list so I will hopefully be getting scheduled for the bypass. I am wondering if anyone in the Daytona Florida area is going to have this done.

Hi all I will be done with all the appointments by the end of August, already approved by insurance and I still don't believe it can happen to me. The dietitian gave us homework to imagine what it is going to be like to be thin and healthy. Do i dare hope for such a thing. Hope leads to disappointment and hurt!!! I know that I need to be healthy, i mean i am 42 and it's not going to get easier as i get older. Deep down I want to be a different person all together, you know one of those girls that were excepted in that "skinny club" in school, who were comfortable in their own skin. Last nutrition class tomorrow than EGD/colonoscopy on 8/24/15. If all clears they will schedule surgery. Maybe then I will start to realize yes it is going to happen Lord please give me strength to control my eating so I don'y gain before then. My thoughts and prayers to all. Jesus loves you and so do I.
