West-Coast-Sweet-T1

I week today from surgery have lost 12 pounds this week and see the surgeon in 2 days for my check up. Getting in 70 grams of Protein and 64 oz Water but am working on more h2o

I add ground organic flax seed to my yogurt daily. adds Fiber and keeps you fuller longer. It adds a nutty flavor. I also have noticed if I have a tsp or TBS of Peanut Butter, it adds fiber to my meal along with protein, but I can almost guarantee the next day I will have a BM.

broths or cream Soups strained?

My VSG is scheduled for 8/27/18. Feels so far away but too close as well as my tummy does flip-flops just thinking about it. I have to admit I’ve been indulging since I’ve jumped through all the hoops ( mid-June). Working on getting my focus and discipline back. Planning to break out paperwork and re-educate myself. Any other pre-surgery ‘guilty indulgers’ out there?

One week before my surgery (8/20) and I am a ball of nerves!! I have been fine up until I woke up this morning feeling like I was on the verge of an anxiety attack...smh lol. Now that I am done with all the insurance, pre op appointments, fmla/std filing, picking up meds, pre and post op grocery shopping, and start 7 day pre op diet tomorrow, it is finally starting to hit me that this is really happening. Like, I am having major surgery, with knifes cutting me and taking out part of my organ, and my life will never be the same (for the better!!!) Lol. I am still so very excited! Just a little nervous now that things have slowed down and I am in the final stretch to the next chapter of my life! Please keep me prayed up!!

Our dates are really close how exciting. Are you ready for the pre op diet?

I am August 28th for RNY bypass.

I'm so glad to have found this site. As I'm sure all of you know, this is such a journey full of literally every emotion all at once and sometimes one can feel alone at times going through the process like I do, at times. Finding somewhere to talk to everyone about my own personal journey where there is no judgment and nothing but support is priceless. Many of my visits at the bariatric weight control center urged me to try out their in-person support groups, and I definitely would go if it wasn't over an hour away from my house as it is - and all of you guys have been amazing at being a support group and, even though I'm still new here, I want to thank you all. I've seen nothing but positive comments and feedback from everyone so far. Ever since I knew I was taking this journey I've become almost obsessed with watching testimonials on youtube and reading success stories that I felt like I was part of almost a sisterhood/brotherhood/family of people (sounds silly, I'm sure lol). But it's true - everyone here will know at least in some way, shape, or form what we're each going through and that's a very awesome thing to be part of a community of. I do have a boyfriend who is supportive of my decision, but much of this process I feel he is not understanding of and I will even be at the hospital alone because he will have to be home watching my son before surgery and after and knowing I Have you guys to reach out to helps a lot.

I rambled, I do that sometimes lol. Maybe it's because I'm emotional, or I've had my last cup of coffee (I'm giving it up a few days before my pre op diet begins, to get a head start), but thank you all for being totally awesome

I’m having bypass on August 1st. Just a few days away lots of mixed emotions.....anxious, scared, and excited all at the same time.
Headed home from work to prep my bag for the hospital.

Yes, I have been having weekend food funerals. Small coconut cream pie Sonic shake. Cheeseburger wrap from Beef o'Bradys (so good) Panera Bagels. Tomorrow is 2 week until surgery. I gave up coffee and my vices lol.

I’ve done all my food funerals already so I’m good there well ok except Saturday I did have my self a chocolate lava cake with like extra fudge and feel zero guilt

I’m m the 29 th we are almost there:)

In August 8th too! Getting nervous and excited, start liquid diet this Wednesday

Im a day after you and ill admit i've been having a few food funerals myself...lol

Woot woot congrats! Two days before mine!

Welcome @Pznapd and good luck on your journey. Be ready to get your fill of knowledge and experience here from so many wonderful people. Feel free to ask ANYTHING and you will get supportive answers and suggestions. The group here are so great. I couldn't be happier that I have been a part of it for the last few months!!
I'm 10 days post op, had mine on July 12th. On full liquids now and have been doing well with everything. A bit rough the 1st few days but thankfully it was no where near as rough as some experiences I have read about. Weight loss is going great. I was +5lbs 2 days after surgery date but since, 8 days later, I'm down 18lbs. In know this will not last very long but I hope it lasts for a good bit. I'm so anxious to start working out more but I know I have to wait. Patience was not something I thought I'd have to work on during this process.
Best of luck to everyone.
