Numinousvessel I was worried about you, not all those other people. My road to my RnY has turned complicated also but I want to be here for you just as a friend. I can tell you my problems at another time, suffice it to say I got kicked to the curb by my bariatric program after completely doing all requirements. Now I must enroll in another program if They will accept me. So we have a commonality there. I will listen if you want to talk more.

11 months post op. I almost vomited on day 1 in the hospital, but it was a tiny burp...lol. Not once since that insignificant issue. The only nausea I experience is when I eat something heavy or dense within an hour or two before going to bed. If I am on my stomach. I may wake up, roll over and go back to sleep or I may take 1 tums if it's particularly bothersome. But that has been better with time. So glad I did it. Oh, and I love shrimp

@GassyGurl thanks for your insight. I love your observation that you are in control and everyone else it out of control. I do feel out of control and so desperately need to take control of my life.
@DropWt4Life I know 2nd thoughts are normal and I appreciate your comments. Did you feel like you had control of your eating prior to your surgery? I'm just thinking that if I had control, I could loose it without surgery. I know it's going to be an adjustment and a new way of living with food but I feel like I have tried to control it without surgery. Do you think it will be tougher for me b/c of sweet tooth?
@StartingFresh Good to hear your recovery is going so well. Puts my mind at ease!

I mix ready-made Protein Isopure punch half and half with crystal light lemonade. It is tart and clear, so easier to go down than thick sweet shakes. Please get your liquids in, don't worry so much about that hour wait time right now, make it 30 minutes instead. You can do that once you get better at drinking all your liquids, and are on solid protein. Some people supplement one proein shake a day even years out to make sure they get enough protein in.
I am not losing fast either right now, we are not consuming many calories and we are healing, and we all lose differently. Try to relax.

November 1st. Ft Myers Florida with dr. Sheih. Super excited but also extremely nervous. My aetna insurance does not cover this surgery because they say my employer opted out of this coverage. Which sucks.... Oh well. Gotta do what is needed regardless! Good luck everyone.

Nov 14th. Just finished the pre admission with the hospital. Ready to go. But a bit nervous

Hey everyone,
I got the phone call yesterday that I was approved and I have my surgery date November 21st. I am excited and a little nervous because it is actually happening!
