Hey fellow August surgery people...
How are you all doing???
I had my bypass on the 21st. Discharged on 22nd and feeling pretty good. Have a follow up appt tomorrow and plan to return to work on Sunday. I had the band in 2010 and had it removed in 2016, For some unknown reason, this has been the easiest of the 3 surgeries. I feel like its the most complicated and yet I feek okay. I'm ready to move on from liquids, fairly confident I will get the go ahead for that tomorrow. On to mushies!
I hope everyone else is doing well.
Lisa

Just got my surgery date. Aug 21. Bypass

I am so sorry that you went through this. When you go back for your blood work, bring 3 copies of your post with you. Stop in and tell the PA that you need a moment of her time and that her "friends" need to join you. Give them each a copy of your post and add a p.s. at the bottom to them know if you ever hear the slightest hint that this behavior has been repeated, you will report them to the surgeon, the office manager and maybe even post it on YELP. Remind them that patients DO talk. You don't have to say a word, then walk out with your head high. If the PA won't meet with you, go straight to the surgeon and office manager.
You've dealt with enough sh!t in your life. You don't need to deal with theirs, too.

Me too abn7700. My twin

Loserlisainpa. MY TWINNNNNN. YES. I FOUND YOO. ME TOOOO

I actually found this book in one of the posts on this very site...Bariatric Mindset Success, by Kristin Lloyd, MS, LPC, LMHC. She went thru it herself, and has some great ideas. Check it out and good luck.

58 days since surgery. My total weight loss is up to 69 lbs. It really hits home when I see photos. The left was the day of my surgery (May 10) and I was 477. The right is today, I was 408 lbs.

I am almost in the 300 lb club again!

And NY state of Mind I am right behind you, Jill and the rest, Mine is September 5th and I'm looking to youvasca friend with a success story to tell. Don't let me down and more importantly don't let YOURSELF down. You are on your journey to glory and we believe in YOU!😝👍😝Just over a week, I KNOW YOU CAN DO THIS!

Thank you for saying so. It is bizarre, throughout the process of losing the 41 lbs pre-op...the only time I'd ever crave the really "bad' stuff would be when someone was eating it near me. Other than that I was becoming so content with healthy foods and smaller portions. For whatever reasons the liquid diet (maybe because of all the artificial sweetener) has given me the worst cravings for the worst things. Either way, onward!

New York State of mind. 41 lbs you are doing something right !!! Don’t beat y yourself up. Keep going !! That’s awesome !!!

I’m August 13th and our Summer Surgery Buddies thread is awesome but nothing wrong with having one dedicated to our specific month!

I just got my date today! August 14th!

Good Morning I’m new here. I started the journey and life style change June 2018. I listened to what I was told To do. I’ve completed the dietician visits and exercise physiologist. I’ve completed all pre-op testing , I just got my surgery date Aug 21. I have a date for last meet with surgeon and 2 week diet prior to surgery. I’m almost there. I’ve lost 26 lbs and feeling pretty proud of my accomplishment so far. Nervous anxious and yet so excited ,,, too many emotions !! Need encouragement and support I do have family who are there for me. I’ve only told my immediate family and only my closest friends. I have not shared with coworkers. Not sure if I even want to. Although they will see a drastic change in a couple weeks as to what I consume. They know I have been eating Protein and low carb. Had anyone successfully hid this from coworkers?
