LoveMyBypass

I've been out on a shoulder injury for almost 10 months. I'm due to return late July. So I will have plenty of time to heal before going back. I work for USPS so I think I need at least 2 months to heal. I should have signed up to get this 2 months after being off work. I would have had surgery already but I was too scared. I'm super ready now. My weight is almost at the 10% I'm supposed to lose. 1 more pound!! Yey! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Yesss @@Shemekasr I'm flipping out. I can't sleep right but I have a few things distracting me. My nephew's prom party and my carpet being changed. I'm sure Sunday is the day I will be freaking out. How about you? How is it going for you? Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Hi everyone, I had my official weigh-in Jan 7 & I start my 12-week Options Class Jan 21-April 7. I just have a question, how long will it take after I graduate from the Options program before I get a surgery date? I went to a sleep apnea test recommended by my doctor because I was interested in WLS. I met a lady there who was due for her last class & still did not have a surgery date. How long will I need to wait? I can't even begin to explain how exciting this is. Reading all these success stories are everything I need to keep me motivated! Thanks for sharing.

Okay great. I got it, i can't send it now because I'm clearing my house for new carpeting.. talk about a work out.. lol.. but I will send them as soon as possible. I promise Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Oh.. that's good to know.. I will definitely ask.. my feet are always the first to get cold. The gas X... i didn't want to spend a lot just in case, but thanks for telling me they'll come in handy after I'm discharged. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Wow @@Peach55 ... we have similar bodies. I'm 33... 5'5" and I'm 232.8 .. i can't wait to wear my skinny jeans (they're not actually skinny jeans. They're boot cut but they are MY skinny jeans.. lol) Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Lol yes we will... my doc said I can bring anything I want.. i even mentioned the strips and he was okay with it. They're okay but socks is a problem.. isn't that crazy? Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I'm with you.. I'm counting down now... 5 more days Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

@@ChooChi73 How are you feeling? Tomorrow is your big day! How exciting! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

@@Dub ... I honestly don't think I'll use them either, but I got one just in case. I really don't see how a strip will help anyway. I have 2 portable chargers that are plugged in right now for that reason. Lol. Thank you Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

@@GermanShepherdMama Okay thank you, I'll do just that. I'm sure I'll be super tender. Great idea! @@Diana_in_Philly Aww.. my socks are so warm too. I really hate their socks. Oh well, I guess I really have no choice. Lol... thanks for the warning

I know! I'm soooo nervous. I'm having trouble sleeping and I can't focus on anything else Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Yey.. I've been reading the forums since day one. Thank you, I'll see you there! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Sorry @@Lana R. I linked you to the wrong one. This is the right now. Lol Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Wow that's a great idea.. thank you Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I wrote down all my questions in my phone so I wouldn't forget anything. Also, I recorded my whole appointment because I didn't want to forget anything he said. I have heard it twice and there are a few things i didn't remember him saying.. Lol.. Maybe I was too nervous. But still... It's so exciting at the same time. I hope your appointment goes great!

On my list I don't have much. I'm getting chicken/beef broth, cream of tomato Soup and sugar free Jello. I hear jello is a real success. I'm only shopping for the liquid diet Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

33, 5'5", 232lbs my goal is 145 and I'm also getting the bypass Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Lol.. It's so true. I am also fearing the change but hope to adjust very quickly with out a fight. I'm so glad there are a few of us. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Yes @@Shemekasr, I will go shopping tomorrow, I have a list ready and everything. I'm holding off on protein powder until after surgery because I know my tastes will change and I want to make sure I will still like the one I have now. But I am SO excited more than anything!! I keep looking at my suit case with all my jeans. I can't wait to leave the tights alone and rock my jeans.

Don't worry @@BariatricBetty24, options really prepares everyone. They will give you lost of information the last 5 classes. I hated that i had to do it, but I'm glad i did. Maybe your mind will change. Don't look at it as, you will miss food and you will suffer. Look at it as, maybe, your tastes will change and you won't miss anything. I keep reading that the first couple of weeks a lot of people feel they made a mistake. I'm afraid of that moment.

I knew when I stepped on the scale and it said 253. My highest weight EVER. I cried and told my mother that I needed to do something because I'm obviously not helping myself. She was very supportive and I made the appointment. I did research for 2 years before I actually asked my doctor about it. To be honest it still feels unreal even though I have a surgery date now. Maybe I won't react until the actual morning when I'm on the bed. Lol

Oh wow.. I had my farewell meal 2 days ago. And yesterday lol.. Today, I finally got it together. I was in a 12 week class where I was weighed in every week. From my highest weight, I've lost 22 pounds.. And since I had my consultation this passed Friday, I've been going wild. I cheated 3 whole days because I'm going to miss all these tastes and flavors. I'm glad today I'm back on it. We have 8 days left! Ahh. What do you have ready? All I have in my duffel bag is a tooth brush and tooth paste. I need to go get a few things this week. Are you having trouble sleeping? My mind goes straight to the 24th. But I am most definitely excited this is finally happening.
