Whats Next

Ooh- that’s next week for me, can’t wait. Love both.

Love it. I can’t wait for this in future.

I’m five days out and I want food. Ricotta is allowed mid Stage 2 week, cottage cheese end of week. I just enjoyed those and I can’t have them again until mid and late next week 😢. Tasted so good. Hubby is cooking for himself and things smell good, it’s pleasant. I did sniff the potato salad bowl (want) and made puppy dog eyes at it. Mashed taters would be heaven. Only one more week on this…we can do it!

What a feeling, it’s done! Yay!

The surgeon said I could have patch if needed, the messaging from nurse and doctor was a bit contradictory regarding age and issues with older people using patch. I got a scrip, didn’t use. I’ve had distress and took an anti nausea med provided. Much better today, 5 days out.

My surgery is coming fast, it was moved up via a cancellation to next week, eek! I’m a combo of fear of the unknown, and calmness of giving it up to the professionals to care for me. I’m over 60 and really never considered I could stop the diet cycle by having WLS. A family member had it, and was happy they did it, this and knowing a few WLS veterans happy with their surgery, spurred me on to do gastric bypass. They had a good recovery with no issues. I’m hoping for a great outcome and that it resolves my Gerd and sleep apnea in time as well. I fear pain, hair loss, complications, how I’ll feel about all that skin, regrets. I look forward to many positive body changes, more energy, onederland, not being obese, cuter clothes 😀 I appreciate everyone sharing here! I’ve learned a lot.

Good luck! Only one day liquid for me and it wasn’t hard. I’m worried how my new tiny tummy will take that first sip and subsequent ones, I’m not on a preop nausea patch due to age. I guess I’ll wait and see instead of worrying. Nah, I’ll worry -lol

Mine is tomorrow too! Good luck to us! I have baby fine hair so losing more will be upsetting. I know they say it’s temporary but it has to regrow and mines not short.

Today is my one day liquids diet. I fear nausea too but who knows, I’m sure I’ll get through it. I’m looking forward to the smaller clothes for sure !
