Losing in NWAR

So, since I've been home I've had rather dark looking urine. I drink water throughout the day. I'm not sure how I can drink more. Am I dehydrated or is something else going on? Just asking to make sure I'm not needing to move faster to see my dr. Have an appt Tuesday. Surgery Date: August 9th HW: 235 SW: 220 CW: 208 Goal Weight: 140

It's darker. If you look in the toilet, the dark is at the bottom of the toilet. Surgery Date: August 9th HW: 235 SW: 220 CW: 208 Goal Weight: 140

Ohhhhh..... yeah, I'm taking Thiamin/B1. Maybe that's what it is? 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Surgery Date: August 9th HW: 235 SW: 220 CW: 208 Goal Weight: 140

Thank you both! Surgery Date: August 9th HW: 235 SW: 220 CW: 208 Goal Weight: 140

Gosh, I haven't had any except that. It's difficult because it's literally the best chicken I've ever had! If you ever make it to Northwest Arkansas it's a stop you should make! Surgery Date: August 9th HW: 235 SW: 220 CW: 210 Goal Weight: 140

My surgery was a week ago and today is the first time I've craved anything. One of my friends opened up a chicken & waffles food truck. He has the most amazing chicken I've ever had. I visited him. I want some of that damn chicken. I can't wait until I can eat solids! But, thankfully, I haven't been hungry or craving anything otherwise!

My surgery is tomorrow. In 7 1/2 hours I have to be at the hospital. I'm freaking out justalittlebit. I'm probably not going to be able to sleep, but I can't take any assistance meds. Bah! Surgery Date: August 9th HW: 235 CW: 221 SW: Goal Weight: 140

Thank you all!! Surgery Date: August 9th HW: 235 CW: 220 SW: 220 Goal Weight: 140

Everything went smoothly! Just in quite a bit of pain from the gas. Otherwise, things have gone pretty fast! Should be going home around 11 am! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Surgery Date: August 9th HW: 235 CW: 220 SW: 220 Goal Weight: 140

Thank you all! I've only ever had outpatient shoulder surgery, so this is a big deal! Surgery Date: August 9th HW: 235 CW: 219 SW: Goal Weight: 140

Oh my good lord. You have had a run of things! Good luck on your transition tomorrow!

Bypass buddies!!!

Thank you! [emoji4]

This morning I got the call for scheduling! I go in for pre-op tomorrow morning and my surgery is scheduled for August 7th! I'm finally starting to get nervous and freak out a bit!

Thank you so much!!

Congrats on a successful surgery!!

I can't WAIT to feel that!!

I'm August 9th, too!!

I have Anthem. 6 months of appts with the first included. The only extra thing they required after my last appt was a letter of support from my PCP. I got approved last Friday and am scheduled for the 9th.

I'm scheduled for the 9th!

I know this is so late, but I just saw. I'm not in Little Rock, but I'm in Fayetteville! I used to live in LR and drive through here to head back home. I'd be happy to be a buddy if you still would like one!

You made it through! Congrats! One day at a time!

Today I found out, after 6 months of appointments and prepping, my file has been sent to insurance for approval and I have a tentative surgery date! August 7th will be the first day of the rest of my new life. I'm so beyond ready, but so beyond scared at the same time. It took me a long time to make this decision. I tried everything. My brother was able to lose over 100 lbs with diet and exercise. I'm not made like that. Coming to this decision made me feel like a failure, like I was taking the easy way out. But after all these appointments and discussions I've come to realize this will be much more difficult than diet and exercise. I don't want to end up like my mom who was obese and got very sick early in life. She was in the nursing home at 52 and passed away at 59. I don't want that to happen to me. Being able to have this outlet to bounce questions around and reading other people's experiences is so helpful! Any tips and info would be so appreciated!

Thank you! I definitely hope so!

Hi!! I'm new on the app, but have had my last appt and been submitted to insurance. I have a tentative RNY surgery date for August 7th. Being able to see everyone's experiences is very helpful! Any buddies for August 7th?
