Mindy78 got a reaction from MSer07 in A long journey to this point, a long way to go still
I got my surgery date 10-3. I'm on the 2 week liquid diet half way through. A little about me. I'm 38 been over weight most of my life. January I decided no more...no more rollercoaster weight, diets. I was 340 at my heaviest a few years ago. I'd loose to 260 gain some back. Never under. Started this journey in January weighing 292lbs. Supposed to be 6 months, but in April diagnosed w/ uterine cancer stage 2 had to undergo a partial just in June and wait at least 3 months for bypass. In a little over a week I'll have my surgery. I'm excited, and nervous. Very few people in my life even know about this. Keeping it a secret has been a little hard.

Mindy78 got a reaction from MSer07 in Anyone have spouse leave? 1 week post op.
Hugs thoughts and prayers. I am having surgery 10-3. But I understand my ex pretty much abandoned me after I had back surgery in 07. 2 months after we married that almost left me paralyzed at the time, there was no guarantee. His mom was my rock through that journey. We stayed married but rocky for 2 years then separated for 5. You got this. It will all be alright

I start my liquid diet tomorrow and I have my pre-op appointment today at 4. I'm actually getting less nervous and more excited the closer it gets!

Right? I didn't even care about them before! Oh, there might have been one or two, like a Golden Corral or Red Lobster one (btw, I would never eat at Golden Corral, very unhygienic there), but it seems like NOW, ALL the commercials are making me drool. There was a commercial that wasn't even ABOUT food, I think it was about football, but someone was eating nachos and I was like, UGHHHHHH! lol

It is so exciting to finally have a date. I too had to complete the 6 months nutrition visits. I'm scheduled for Oct. 3. I've decided to walk each day and try to eat healthy. I'd like to lose 15 pounds prior to surgery.
Congratulations and best wishes.

I had gastric bypass on 9/20. The issues I have had are scar tissue from a previous surgery. I came home the evening of 9/21. My pain level went up after I got home. Then it started going down as expected. Today I started Protein Shakes and I am in severe pain. I am still very bloated and uncomfortable. I feel very cold. But I don't have a fever.
