Luckily most people I told were very excited and supportive, but the ones that weren't and also had some distant relatives friend due, I just said "people die getting their appendix out too" maybe a lil dark but can't argue with the fact.

Maybe haha

Tomorrow's the big day for me! I can't believe it's finally here after trying to get to this point for almost 3 years now.
I had a big scare this week just to make my nerves even worse: My wife got exposed on Tuesday to a coworker that tested positive for COVID. We had to wait to Saturday for her to get tested, and I got tested yesterday (it was the last required hurdle from my bariatric team). Thankfully we both turned up negative. I was seriously worried I'd be delayed. Especially after basically completing the 2 week pre-op liquid diet, it would have really been a letdown if I'd had to put surgery off even longer.

Thank you 🙏 so much

10 day post opt and have to say lots of questions still although I know it's Normal. Def having issues with being able to get all my fluids in because I feel so full and then my stomach hurts .. I know that when I tried the primer Protein Shakes I got sick immediately and I believe it was the milk .. which I never had a problem with before .. but now slowly introducing like almond milk and taking it slow .. but I'll admit I'm scared of food .

Newbie here Gastric Bypass surgery scheduled for Wednesday 9/21. I’m on day 2 of the clear liquid diet and todays been harder then yesterday. I woke up with a Migraine and it won’t go away! I can only have plain Water, apple juice, protein2O, Jello, popsicles and low sodium chicken broth to drink/eat and the chicken broth doesn’t wanna stay down. I also only told certain family members and someone got lose lips decided it was her job to tell everyone and there mother so I have a lot of negative opinions being voiced to me. Someone even contacted my fiancé with a long list of complications and all the stuff that can go wrong and how there uncles wife’s sisters daughters cousin died from the surgery and now he’s even more scared something is going to happen to me! I guess it’s just the pre-surgery craziness 🤦‍♀️

Aww, I had mines this past Tuesday. The first day/night was hell for me, but praying all goes well for you. I am on day 6 post op.

My surgery was Sept 7/22

I’m a new poster I usually just read everything! Everyone on here is so supportive. Thanks for that! Surgery GS is tomorrow excited and a little nervous!

It is my first day as well. I am lucky though; I work from home and can sit. Hope you have a great day.

First day back at work. So far not terrible!

Oh wow, I'm so sorry, that sounds so awful. What are they doing about it?

New here as well! My surgery was 9/6. Gastric sleeve.

I start my week long liquid diet tomorrow, I'm excited because that means only a week tell surgery, but of course I'm still nervous.... here we go

Maybe try the clear Protein Drinks. If it’s the milk In the shake you should be fine with those. Take it slow though in case it’s the sweetener. If so there are several that are used and you may only have an issue with a certain one.

it's not uncommon to develop some food intolerances after surgery - although they're often temporary. Milk is a common one - and so is artificial sweeteners (especially sugar alcohols - the ones whose names end in -itol (like xylitol)).

Oh and Amazon has this great wellness journal from clever fox! It has monthly reviews you can keep up with measurements and goals and log what you intake and exercise!

I'm new and scheduled for bypass Sept 19th. Can't belive its finally getting close because I started the process in Jan. Looking forward to a new me but scared too. Its weird because I've been on so many diets but this time is the 1st time I feel real hope for success but I don't want to get my hopes up too high either.
So how do I get info under my name that everyone seems to have?

Let’s all try to keep up with each other and motivate each other!

I'm new here as well. Scheduled for Sept 20th.

Do you mind me asking where you are from? I would love to have someone close to home doing this together! I know it is a long shot but even so we can still help motivate each other!!!

I’m scheduled for the 12th of September as well! New on this site.

Hi guys I am new here and looking for September surgery buddies!! Mine is scheduled for the 12th! I am so excited! Who’s with me???

It’s so hard not to get on the scale, it hasn’t been easy the diet and life style change that I just so badly want to see the work put in reflected on the scale.

Stay off the scale for now. It will drive you nuts. You will hit stalls along your journey. I hit my first stall at 2 weeks post op. I didnt loose weight for about 2 weeks or so. you probably hit yours just a tad early which happens. Keep with the program and the weight will come off. I try to weigh myself every 2 weeks to 1 month. as for the pulse i am not sure there. I had high blood pressure before surgery and after surgery now i have low blood pressure. Where normally i would be in the 130-145 and now i am at 100 or so. (Blood pressure cuff) and my Beats per minute were in the 80-90's and now after surgery its low at around 50-60
