Taylor..

Feel like I have no one to turn to and that lawyers and Dr's reading posts, maybe best to keep my details private until I figure out what to do

Good luck to all my surgery twins today! I can't wait to hear how it went for everyone when you feel up to sharing. I am going to the OR in 30 minutes. You are all in my prayers! Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm having surgery tomorrow morning and had no required or suggested pre op diet. I'm wondering if I should have implemented my own version! Has anyone else gone into surgery with no preop diet? Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks everyone, chubrub I think that's a great idea, I might not feel well enough to drive but if I get someone to drive for me I should be able to fake it for an hour or two during the meeting even if I don't feel well. I am feeling a little scatterbrained today! I haven't posted much but I have been reading alot and everyone's experiences have helped me prepare. I just finished making protien Jello cups that i saw someone on this site made! I will let you know how they taste later in the week LOL Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

I need everyone's opinion. I am having gastric bypass tomorrow and just recieved a call about meeting with a huge potential client on Friday. It would be a 4 hour round trip drive and maybe one-2 hour meeting. I am not ashamed of having surgery (actually super excited) but I do like to keep work and personal seperate. Do you guys think I can handle this short drive and meeting that soon after surgery or should I try to reschedule without giving too many details? Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi! My surgery isn't until the 7th but I wanted to check in on the 23rd twins to see how you both feel! Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

That is wonderful that you have quit smoking. I can relate to quitting diet coke, I too am quitting the diet sodas and I think I'm addicted to the caffeine more than anything. Walmart sells water with caffeine in it now, so I am drinking that to help with the headaches and wean myself off the caffeine. I just joined the forum today but everyone seems very nice and willing to share their experiences as well as share suggestions etc. Congratulations on deciding to do this for yourself. I think as moms we tend to put ourselves last alot and making the decision to put yourself first and start this journey is a wonderful feeling! Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

I love your spreadsheet! [emoji846] I hope my weight loss mimics yours. Congratulations on doing so well! That is a great idea to set mini goals! Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

rjan, where are you at right now 3 months out (if you don't kind me asking) Did you have sleeve or bypass? I am 5'2" 211 lbs. BMI around 38. My Dr says to plan on losing about 55lbs which would put me at 156. I remember 10+ years ago weighing 150 and thinking I was so fat. I will definitely appreciate and enjoying being at that weight now! Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you for taking the time to give me some great suggestions! I am also curious to hear from people that started out around 200lbs or know someone who has so I can get my expectations in check about how much I may actually lose. I would love to lose 80-100 lbs but I'm not sure that is realistic [emoji38] Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

I am new here. I have never posted anything online before (no social media and no reviews etc) I am writing because I am nervous. My surgery date is July 7th. I have been thinking about having the surgery for years but finally went for a consult this month and everything has moved so fast! If anyone has suggestions on how to prep for the days after surgery please let me know! Thank you! Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app
