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!

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?

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

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?

Hi! My surgery isn't until the 7th but I wanted to check in on the 23rd twins to see how you both feel!

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!

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!

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!

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]

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!
