May 1 here. Surgery went well didn’t stay in the hospital long don’t pack much. You will shower at home and wear their hospital stuff. Maybe pack phone charger and phone
I’m home now and walking. Had first bowel movement yesterday what a relief I’m not constipated. I found boost max 30 G protein in strawberry. Omg heaven
everything is room temp. The protein shakes and water. Can’t sip too fast. My new tummy don’t like that. But I look at my garden and pick and play. Bending is hard and hurts but that’s the only pain make sure before surgery you tell your pharmacist to have your current meds liquid. It will save a lot of yucky taste
be well your going to be great!!

Hi everyone
I had surgery yesterday beginning weight 275
Goal 130-140
I am 4ft 8
So I’m very round.
I love the belly elastic thing that goes after surgery
I’m recovering ok
Gas bubbles on right side. But if I sip water. Then use the spirometer I burp Yeah. Keeping water down so a little while ago I was handed a shake. 1 ounce protein shake every other 1/2 hour. Water the other 1/2 hour
Peeing a lot. Nothing from the other side
Meanwhile. My blood pressure is through the roof. 190/175. On pain meds every 4 hours and meds once they get here
I lobe Bristol hospital

Remember your nurses this week. As it’s national nurse week :)

Well maybe May 1st, not 81st, I know May isn't THAT long.???

So I can’t figure out this site. I want to add May surgery to the line up. I’m going for the by-pass on May 1. I’m doing the pre op diet now and it’s not that bad. I started this journey at 229 lbs and am at 190 now. Hoping to loose 6-10 pounds before surgery. Which can’t be hard. I exercise with YouTube and walking my dachshund pups who keep me active
Insurance is approved and wow this is really happening. Can’t believe it. I’m so excited for this I am 4 foot 9 And being this weight. I kinda look like a blob and I think once I loose this weight I’ll love myself. I like me now. But will love me later
I have a support system. My sister and boyfriend and his family And I still see my Counceling people. Why. Because they are helping me out a lot. And thought with a group of may surgery people we will have something in common
Yeah for May !!!!!

Hello mearas. Nice to meet you
I do keep a journal
I saw the neurologist today ( I’m under stroke precaution ) she warned me about the risk. And I agreed and said if the next stroke puts me in a chair. Who wants the job of lifting me no one. She agreed
I keep a meal diary. I haven’t been put on the pre op diet yet Which is what I’m waiting for maybe the dr office will call tomorrow for a visit. Crossing fingers. It feels like I have waited soooo long for this opportunity for a new life. It will be an adjustment but I can do it.

Ejmom. That’s a good idea. I’m making a list to pack early. I live 1500 feet from the hospital. Lol.

Got a call that I’m waiting for insurance approval. Then pre op appointment. Stuffs getting real
because I have anxiety disorder and ocd. What do you recommend for packing
I’m thinking
change of clothes and probably a pair of jammies
chapstick
Book to read
phone and charger
anything else.

CajunSam. I’m hoping for surgery in April. As it’s my month Supposed to be my month.
Answering your questions above

Having gastric bypass
Height 4’11. I know. I’m a shorty ?
Starting weight. 224
Goal weight 130

I have been eating an 800 calorie diet so it will be easier to transcend to the next stage after the water and protein shakes. There’s no want for food. So I’m good there. I have been walking my dogs for exercise and it’s nice here today. Yesterday it snowed. But today my spring flowers wanna open. Can’t wait to get my surgery date. Blinds going stir crazy not knowing.
Hope all is well with everyone

I was wondering how to reply
I’m supposed to be April as well. I’m waiting for my date congratulations to all the April surgeries here and god bless
I have seen all the pre op doctors and should be ready. By the way. I’m new here so learning the ropes
