So how did the big group that all had surgery on the 17th do? I have not been on a great deal.

Frustr8, I did come home yesterday. I feel like I have a really tight band around my torso making it hard to draw a deep breath or move around. It is however better every day. I am actually enjoying my first protein shake (yesterday it hurt to much) I agree with you and I will find a new kind of okay! As always thank-you for you love and support!

I feel no hunger, but I am thirsty

I don't know why that just posted I am just checking in the this weeks surgery buddies, hope everyone is doing well!

I have noticed a few posts on clothing recently and wonder if it would be possible to set up a clothing swap forum? Or if it would even be feasable?

I am home, and glad to be here. They said a had a Vertical Banded Gastroplasty and it was done terribly. They took out all of my stomach. Just want to rest. Hugs too all for your support!

Thank_you!

Thanks so much, I think o get to go home today [emoji2]

They ended up taking out my gallbladder, because was adhered to stomach. The way I understand they took my stomach. Trying to through all the get put of jail things Has several tests yesterday and there was some fluid, so off I go on a walk. Hope everyone on the 16 and 17th did !

Thank-you so much! I really appreciate the information and support you provide!

I am having a bypass done tomorrow. I am on a clear liquid diet and am able to have 5 protein shakes a day. BEst wishes for tomorrow!

I have been drinking Premier Protein, it has a lot of flavors, I am actually drinking decaf coffee with the vanilla protein as my creamer, not to bad.

For sure! I am keeping busy by doing house work today and getting everything together for the hospital. I hope I sleep tonight!

We will have to check in with one another later this week. I don't have a time for surgery , just a check in time, but I assume it will be about 7:45 or so. All this waiting is almost over!

My surgery is also on Monday!

Pinterest has a lot of Bariatric recipes!

I had my pre op appointment yesterday and met with the dietitian. I got my surgery time of 5:45, I am first (gulp). I just finished 16 oz of water and a protein drink. Now to get busy and pass the time. I am getting pretty nervous!

I am getting nervous for sure, I start my liquid diet tomorrow!

I developed gastritis, then they found a fistula, and also GERD. I got my original sleeve in 1998.

My surgeons office called me to let me know my insurance fully approved my Monday surgery. I was pretty sure they would, but it is still nice to hear those words!

Everyone looks amazing!

Thanks!

I still to this day have trouble eating with a group because I am not mindfully eating and something always makes me feel stuck. Guess part of my 21 year old sleeve is still working.

After I lost the weight 20 years ago, my thyroid was all over the place. I also was diagnosed with Adrenalin Insufficiency. Eventually I had the right side of my thyroid removed and now my left side is full of cysts on nodules. My thyroid numbers have been completely normal though. It's a watching and waiting game.

We are here to help you and support you. What is going on?
