The past is history
The future is a mystery
Today is a gift that is why it is called the present.

Focus on 3 good things about today. My surgery is in 4 days. I get sick to my stomach when I think of how I got to this point or about the surgery. It’s OK everything will be ok. Today do something for you. You are strong.
You have made it this far it’s almost here. You’ve got this keep going your almost there!!! 😉

First post-op weigh in totally ecstatic lost 10pounds in the first week post op (4.6kilos) and over 30 pounds since i've started the pre-op diet. So excited to see what week two will bring.

Your scars look great!

You got this!

I am, too, starting to feel really nervous and almost scared of the surgery. I was laying in bed this morning and the realization of the surgery was so disassociating that I almost wanted to cry.
"Is this me? Am I really doing this?" I was asking myself. The future me and the present me were having difficulties connecting with one another. "Why am I doing this to myself?" I asked as well. I was almost a little upset that I had let myself get to this point. . . that I hadn't been strong enough to get down to a normal weight by myself. But that's my mental illness talking. Anyway, if I could get some kind words, I would greatly appreciate it.

I know I personally always wanted to see what the scars looked like after surgery. I am post op day 3 and this is what my scars look like.

Surgery in 45 minutes!!!! Can’t believe it’s here. Feeling nervous, excited, anxious!!!!

Oh my goodness I’m so sorry to hear some of you are having such a rough time especially Psyched. One of my biggest fears is throwing up. I hope they were able to give you something. I’m 4 days away I was totally fine now freaking out a bit. And VSG David u seemed like you were doing so well before...

I’m still surprised by this. They scopes me Tuesday 12/4 they said I have a hiatal hernia and need my gallbladder removed. My surgery is set for 12/11 they are fixing the hernia removing my gallbladder and doing the surgery. They briefly touched on this in the nutrition class and said it was common. I’m glad that I’ll be able to have the RNY just puzzled by your surgeon

The dr told me Milk of Mag.

Come to Bypassland and Kangarooville and visit me÷A lot of n8ce people there. Do you know why we are Kangaroos? Because we all now have pouches! And you still won't have had 3/4 of your stomach thrown into the surgical trash.You're all there, just a little rerouting of the piping. And I have had the torture-side of RnY, if I can remain positive , believe in its ultimate rightness, have hope for my own healing, you should fare well. If not, honey you've got ME, I have paid and am still paying my dues. Going home this aftern9on after a weeks hospitalization with a PICC line in my upper left arm and will have TPN every evening until my ulcers heal down, wasn't getting sufficent Protein per 👄 mouth. And I am upbeat- know my surgeons are ordering this so my body can do its repairing. Could be out before Christmas and my Birthday( December 26th) not the gift I requested but at least it's custom- tailored for me! And Life is different but still So So Good!

Hi bypass lady
it does get better - this is the toughest patch by a country mile!
The stitch is likely to be the gas they pump 8nto your abdominal cavity to separate your organs so they can do the surgery more easily. It does get absorbed, but it helps if you are up and about walking around, moving that gas.
Are you drinking Water? Way more important than food just now. Your best mantra just now - sip sip sip, walk walk walk.
And dont forget, a general anaesthetic messes with your emotions. It will pass! And then the good stuff happens! Just stick to your programme...

Good idea. Day 10 preop liquids. 5 more to go

Day 6 post op and god im getting sick of the liquid diet on it for three weeks now :@ I think when i get back to solid food ill never have a Soup or broth again..

Hows everyone doing so far? Going to weigh myself tomorrow for first time post op. Doing it every Friday from now on which is my surgery day. Feel like doing it once weekly might be a bit healthier for my mind than doing it sporadically.

Surgery is tomorrow. Waiting to get the call on when i have to be at the surgery center.

Good luck!!! have my upper GI today 7 and counting passed the halfway mark.

Nope, there are repercussions, dumping, stalling rebound eating, triggering bad habits. This is not a post to undermine the seriousness of following the rules or promote lawlessness , just to show that *Sometimes* SOMETIMES *sometimes* we don't get everything right, but there are repercussions... Because I ate cake and pie and birthday meals... I gained instead of lost. This is my losing phase. Have a short window then its done. My window is closing.

Overall i eat really really well, but i definitely had some caramel m&m’s a few days ago because i was craving chocolate and it was amazeballs.

I’ll say this though so it’s clear. Live your life and don’t apologize or feel guilty about it. But at the same time cheats are for occasions, and they tend to work out better for people in the maintenance phase vs still losing phase. If you want to cheat do it, but own it and be accountable so you dont fall off the wagon. It’s easy to do. It’s your journey, have fun with it.

Except the most expensive types ... Voss, alkaline, etc... What's up with that?!?! Did I get the celebrity model sleeve? Lol
