    ....literally the next day after surgery, I was wheeled to radiology trying my best to keep my nausea at bay and not throw up...I somehow swallowed the IV contrast and kept it down (albeit I have no idea how) and found myself holding on by a thread. The radiologist walked in , looked me up and down and said " REALLY? WAS THERE A NEED FOR YOU TO DO THIS?! YOU ARE NOT THAT BIG!!!!!" Me, fresh off my pain pump, told him to go F&CK himself and that I would be sure to let my surgeon know he was questioning his ethics by operating on a person "NOT THAT BIG". BTW...250 lbs on a 5'4 frame...isn't LITTLE! SIGH.

    A neighbor said to me......what we go thru in the name of vanity......i put her in her place and told her, NO! I'm doing this for health reasons because I would like to live longer and healthier!!!!

    A good friend of mine told me when I'm at my goal weight my tits will be at my belly button and my face will be full of wrinkles!!!! Thanks friend! It just so happens that she is already full of wrinkles and at 60 years old and 35 pounds down, half way yo goal!!!, I don't have any wrinkles!!!

    I am six days. Gastric bypass. Today I got in about 30 ounces of Water so far and it's 5 p.m. . I had some Jell-O and I had one popsicle and I had a few ounces of vegetable broth. It seems that everytime I drink anything which I do sip comma is an effort. And my stomach and abdomen hurt a lot today as well. Feeling of it frustrated and I know I did not get in today what I should have. Any suggestions to help me get back on track. Thanks!

    The wait is difficult for Sure! Had my required endoscopy and colonoscopy two days ago. I have a hiatal hernia and some gastric inflammation. I hope the hiatal hernia does not keep me from having surgery.

    I don't know yet whether I have to do a pre-op diet and he hasn't said anything about losing any weight. My sheet with all of my appointments and surgery date says I have to be 220 or less on surgery day. 220 is the wait I was the first day I went in for an appointment. That puts me at almost a37 BMI. I would like to be 150. It's nice to have people to wait with through the month of June. I have a feeling it is going to go fast

    I was diagnosed with stage 3 papillary thyroid cancer April of 2012. Total thyroidectomy of course. In 2013 it spread to my lymph nodes and I had a neck dissection on the right side.

    I have done nothing but gained weight since my surgery. It is almost impossible to lose weight for me now. My surgery date is July 3rd and I am so excited I cannot stand it!

    Doctor says should be no problem getting to my goal weight. Let's keep in touch and share our progress ! I Am brand new to this group.

    Aloha! My surgery is scheduled for July 3rd period it seems like an eternity! This coming Tuesday, the 23rd of May comma I have my endoscopy and colonoscopy. Hopefully they won't find anything bad in there and now I wait.

    My doctor has not said anything about a pre-op diet. The nutritionist I met with did not say anything either. Not sure but I think I should probably do it on my own. At least something. My nutritionist good recommend Premier Protein so I think I will buy some of that now. So happy to have found this group!
