I was thinking of you today. I am so glad you did it. Keep us posted ?

I appreciate the advice, thank you ?

When can I eat peanut butter????

I am 9 days post op and I felt just like you. I had done massive amounts of research and as the day drew closer I worked to find reasons why I shouldn't. My support system was great, they just supported me and made me make the decision myself. My biggest fear was the loss of food enjoyment. I sailed through the surgery. I had zero complications, very little pain, no nausea, the hardest part has been not being able to eat like I want to. In all of my research before surgery and since, I have not found one person who regrets it. Not one. I look at YouTube videos, I visit this site and it gives me the encouragement to press on. I have lost 16 pounds and that feels so good. I remind myself that it isn't always going to be like this. It will get better. I am excited for what lies ahead. The preop was hard, but you did it. The recovery is hard, but you got this. Please don't give up too soon.

Thank you. I have been doing really well. Yesterday was just a hard day and I found myself really struggling mentally. Physically it has been far easier than I ever imagined. My pain and discomfort has been minimal to nonexistent. I was able to eat some cottage cheese and that felt really good. I have zero appetite for food, other than my fantasy cravings. I have a new attitude today. I am very grateful and I am excited to see where I am the next couple of weeks. Hearing from others who have been there definitely helps.

Hi, I had gastric bypass on Thursday, June 16th, 2022. Only a few days in and wondering what I was thinking.
