My surgery was Wednesday February 12th. It that night I walked and felt ok. I was shocked and so upset when I was weighed the next morning and had gained 13lbs!!! By that night up 15lbs. When I left to go home I was 16lbs heavier than when I checked in. I was so down but otherwise felt pretty good. Started feeling rough Sunday afternoon couldn't get my protein down, it was like slime to me. Monday and Tuesday cried all day. I thought I made a huge mistake. Luckily I had a doctor appointment. The staff and the doctor were awesome. They gave me pep talks and more ideas to help. Since Wednesday February 19th things have been 100% better. I'm hopeful the worst is behind me. I lost the extra 16lbs plus 14 more. If you're getting ready for surgery try to remember everyday gets a little better ?

Sounds rough!!! But it's nice to have a heads up. I hope the worst is behind you!

I'm having bypass. I'm all prepped and soooo ready. Not nervous just very excited to finally start the real work. My surgery is in the morning. Not sure of our time difference. I'm in North Carolina USA. I'll have almost 2 weeks in when you have yours. I will keep you posted ?

How are you doing? My surgery is in the morning. Since yours was January 31st I was wondering how things went up to this point

Excited for you!!! Mine is in the morning. Will be praying for you

Hi!! Wishing you luck in your journey. I will definitely give updates. You do as well. We can use all the support we can get❤

How has it been, easier or harder than you thought?

My surgery is finally here!!!! I'm having it February 12th. I started this process June 2019. It has been a hard road for me. It's pretty much consumed my life. I'm ready to start the work but the past 2 weeks I've been very anxious and stressed. My husband says he supports me 100% but the things he says are not supportive at all. I've heard the your family's support is important. Any advice on how to deal with this?
