DRCS :

who is that guy???? Let me at him! The easy way, there is nothing easy about this procedure, it's a head start but it takes work to see results! Let him see u struggle to get to your goal. That is definately NOT THE EASY WAY OUT!

I hate it when people act like that. How msny years have u struggled already ? Tried and failed every diet out there, the right way? Let him take your place and see just EASY it is to do it and maintain it the RIGHT WAY! O o o that makes me mad!!!! Good thing I wasn't there when he told u that, I prob would have ended up in jail, and I'd b the one crying all night !

I'm with you about that. Surgery for weight loss is not the easy way out, it is just the only way out for a lot of people. People act like you have the surgery and POOF your thin (that would be nice) it is a hard life long battle,but people who have never had a weight problem just don't get it. It was perfect one day when I was told to just watch what I eat #%# .She was a heavy smoker so that gave me a perfect opening when I started the whole story on her just don't smoke, don't buy cigarettes. I have to eat and buy food and prepare food everyday. You never HAVE to buy cigarettes or be around cigarettes or have to smoke to stay alive. SUCCESS SHE HAS NEVER SAID ANOTHER WORD ! Easy way out my a$$.

So I have my consult with Dr ferrara aug 8th I am so excited and what sucks is I can only share my feelings on this with my jason or y'all. I told my Dad but he don't care either way. And I don't speak to my mother and the few people who know are not really supportive of me getting it. And I am a talker so it is going to be hard to keep my mouth shut...I guess you can say I would have a bad attitude if I was bashed about my decision. I am outspoken and tend to really give someone a piece of my mind when the situation gets heated I am the first person to say I did not sak you because I don't care about what you have to say!!!!!! I am rude like that but rather then lose all my "friends" I will just keep quiet can anyone tell me the recovery time after surgery and when can you get your band tightened and is there a speacial diet before or after surgery yea I know almost nothing I was going to wait and ask the Dr but I want to hear it from a person who has been through it first hand and also if there are any tips you can share with me! Thank you so much this site is Awesome!!!! y'all are all Awesome!

Hey Amy, just let it all out here, that's what is so great about this forum, we can be ourselves and express our true feelings. There may be some judgemental comments at time but you will almost always get the support that you need and are not getting with family and friends. That's cos we have been where you are and understand what it takes to get banded and the benefits of it,not to mention the work that it takes. Good luck and stay strong!

Sage and Isis,

I love both your names very cool I really want to thank you both for your support. My infusion clinic nurse was not aginst me getting banded when I told her she is just worried because she thinks that I wont get the nutrition I need since I have MS. But things are turning around and I am happier today so thank y'all :D

Ok Ladies I have sice emailed with that guy and I asked him his problem and why he was being sooo hateful and I have fiured out that he has a crush on me and he likes bigger women who self esteem is low.... a bit of a control freak I think...he also was recently put on medication for Anger issues and his sister posted something on Facebook that makes me think he has moved on to being mean to her sice he can't get a rise out of me makes me feel bad for her even though I am glad I am not his punching bag......

My new dr appointment is tomorrow I got my fishing weights out today....yes I did because even though I have been eating like a true cow I have only gained 2 lbs now if I wanted to lose weight I gain more then that you know what I mean I think my body is at a comfy weight I am uncomfortable in my own skin when I look in the mirror I still see a thin me but when I put on my cloths or in photos it is way different! Ggrrrrrrrrrrrr..................:angry:

I have also noticed since I have gained all this weight my feet are all jacked up my heels are cracked and dry they are nasty so I have been giving myself pedicures and no matter how much dead skin I get off they are still cracked so I started researching it and I found that I could use a fine Micro-plane cheese grater and that does the trick you just have to be careful not to take to much off like I did now my feel are super smooth and soft and hurt!!!! so it works great just don't go crazy with it like I did!:lol:

      Hey everyone!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
