I will habe my surgery on June 4th. My surgeon said you should really take 4 weeks off. That way you have time to recover and get back to eating food in the safe confines of your house.

I screwed up yesterday and hope it doesn't affect me reaching my weight loss goals. They want me to lose 14 pounds and I have lost 9 so far with 2 more weeks left so I am hopeful but TOM is coming so not totally confident. I am drinking a lot of Water to flush all that bloat from the sodium out.
I have had 2 slip ups since I started. The first time it was the day after my EGD and I think it was because I was out of it on EGD day and got behind on my Protein supplements. Yesterday, it was because I went on a really tiring hike and didn't drink enough Water or Protein ( I sweat incredible amounts so the 16 oz I brought must have not been enough) By the time I got home I was ravenous. Live and learn, I guess!

I'm June 27. Mini Bypass with Bariatric Pal Mexico.

I just started my week of full liquids. I am so happy with my decision to do this surgery, even with only 50% family support. I've healed well, walked as much as possible, and am in no pain unless I push my stomach muscles too hard (sitting/ laying to standing without using my arms to help me). I can officially say I'm sick of the liquid diet. Ha ha almost three weeks of just liquids really gets to you. I'm happy I get to start working on things like Protein shakes and cream of wheat! I had my 1 week surgeon check up this morning, he says I'm healing wonderfully and I'm ahead of schedule on my weight loss (23# in 16 days) I feel fantastic! I highly recommend the Isopure drinks! 40g Protein and they're so delicious! They're sweet but end with a little tartness as to not overpower your taste buds. The melon one reminds me of a liquid jolly rancher.

I am June 7. Revising from band to bypass. Had the band out in March and looking forward to finally losing weight for good! Good luck to us!

Wow! I am officially sleeved!! I cannot believe how amazing my surgery outcome was and recovery is going so far! I thank God for all the amazing staff and of course my surgeon, Dr Ali! Hopefully I'll be released by tommorow!! I'd like to thank these boards for being an amazing source of pre op information!! ️

I'm having my surgery on Oct. 8th. Very excited, but having some anxiety. Thinking about getting some anxiety meds. from my GP to calm me down. I think what I fear the most is not the weight loss but the actual healing after surgery.

I start mine on 5/21 for a surgery date of 6/4/16. My pre diet consists of 1000 calories of boost (or other supplement drink)

Hello, my name is Brian Pixley and I live in Oregon. I am just beginning this journey and am looking for information. I am meeting with a nutritionist the day before thanksgiving and I guess we will see where I go from there. I wanted to introduce myself to everyone and say hello. Any words to live by or any tips / suggestions?
Thanks
