Tdot77guy exciting for you:)

March 9th doing very well off all pain meds on day four. Had three surgeries gastric bypass, hernia and gallbladder removal. Am excited for my one week post op appt to be off liquids and eat some yogurt or something other than water or broth lol.

That's awesome mel2k16. I can't get that much portein in yet but I am trying

Thanks James???? Feel a little bit better.

Hooray 5 days post-op feeling so much better. Off pain medications. So I don't know if this is normal? I have only been getting 1-20z of liquid every hour? That is all I can get in? Is that too little? If more than that I feel a pressure in my chest the next hour and I can't do the next hour. Sorry I am a newbie to the post-op side and I have been reading so many different things on what you should be able to intake including my handouts. Thanks for the help. 2oz it was supposed to say.

I am currently 5 days post-op gall bladder removal, hernia repair and gastric bypass. I had Dr. McClosky at weightoss institute of the central coast. She is a skilled surgeon and I am glad I had her as my surgeon. She is very matter of fact so, don't be taken aback by this. She is very busy but, knows what she is doing. I just wanted to let you know if anyone was searching for a doctor on the California central coast.

Congrats???? Hope to be there one day.

I did not have to wait 2 years to start the process but I did have to do a sixth month weight loss with my PCP, Psych Eval, OBGYN, labs and meet with the nutritionist of the bariatric program and surgeon at least once. After I completed all the requirements they preauthorized me for the surgery and then it was authorized once they submitted paperwork. Call UHC they are really helpful and will tell you the requirements and your deductible/co-payment.

Thanks so much and congrats on your success.

Incredible:) I'm just worried I am going to be the only person who doesn't lose lol. Awesome job. You exercise and if so, how often?

I'm from California. Have PCOS and Hypothyridism. I have two children and have been overweight since I was 8. I have always been active and was an athlete but I was always one of the biggest kids in schools. I do like to eat and not always the best foods and have tried most diets out there. I am hoping this works and I am going to give my all.

Thanks so much all:)

I am so excited March 9 (25) days to go:)

Thanks those are great ideas. I forgot about Chapstick and I need a water bottle so I will look it up. Thanks again everyone:) can't wait for surgery to be over with.

Great suggestions. I am going to have some shopping to do. Thanks for the advice.
