  1. You got this! So excited for you! Good luck, and do EVERYTHING your providers tell you to do, and you will succeed!
  2. I am with ya! My Dr told me this is the body's response to stress, that it is hormonal, and it will subside. When it is over I will start seeing baby hair regrown around the hairline. So....I am now being super careful brushing my hair and trying not to freak out over what comes out in the hairbrush.......
  3. My NUT instructed us not to chew gum because if you accidentally swallow it, you could have BIG trouble! Gum is not digestible and can cause serious problems with gastric surgery patients. Is your NUT ok with gum?
  4. My surgeon put me on Actigal for 6 most post-op to avoid gallstones. I had an ultrasound of my GB prior to surgery just to be sure I didn't already have a problem brewing. This is standard procedure. Sent from my SM-S920L using the BariatricPal App
  5. You should also be aware that RNY is totally reversible if it should ever be necessary. Sleeves are not. When 80% of your stomach is gone, it's gone.
  6. Hope you feel lots better soon!
  7. You are of course taking vitamins designed for bariatric patients? Iron,too?
  8. I have every expectation that you can do this! It will be easier than you think since you have only the 50 this time! You got this girlfriend!
  9. That is a great summary and encouraging words to many who are beginning this journey. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Our lives are permanently altered and we are set for success!!
  10. Insurance approved!!! Pre-op app Aug 25. Surgery (RNY) Aug 31. Now i'm getting excited!
  11. before and after gastric bypass surgery, a weight loss surgery photo album by dke on BariatricPal. 1 photo in Before and After Gastric Bypass Photos.
  12. Let me know how you like that.
  13. I need to do that too. I bought some Orange Crush water additive to make drinking water taste better. Got it on Amazon and it really tastes like orange crush but no carbination. No calories! Little squirt bottles you can keep in your purse!
  14. Would love to....and hey my name is Donna too!
  15. I have a tentative scheduled RNY for August 30! (Pending in approval!) Eeek! This is really possible and I am excited and a little nervous!
  16. The scary thing about the dieting is that I gain it back PLUS another 10 lbs! Yikes!!I just can't go there again. I "dieted" myself to obesity!
  17. You are amazing! Wow!
  18. You rock! Sent from my SM-S920L using the BariatricPal App
  19. Triplethreat what surgery did you have? My surgeon thinks I will be happier with RNY.
