Currently waiting to see the anesthesiologist...It's finally here, feeling pretty nervous but super motivated, as of today I'm down 23lbs in 3 weeks on my pre-op diet! Woohooo!!!

I bought boots yesterday that go up to my knee and tights that I don't have to cut in the crotch to fit me. Down one pant size, but I didn't buy any in hopes that I would grow out of them too quickly ;) These little successes are so exciting, I'm feeling a little bit more like myself again day after day!

I'm in the lobby at the Cambie Surgical Centre waiting for my appt. with my anesthesiologist, then off to buy some post op liquids and some new bed sheets as a treat to myself :)

Wish me luck!

Thanks guys! Everything went well today with my band surgery according to my nurse and surgeon :) I was in a lot of pain went I came to, it felt like i had done 1000 crunches the day before, yeouch! they gave me extra codeine. And then the nausea started...so they have me extra gravol. I was in my clothes and shoes and chillin in an upright chair within an hour.

When I got home I was felling pukey... I didn't want to throw up, tried very hard not too but I couldn't help it. It was just a little bit of Water and I felt much better after. I've been dozing on the sofa and taking small sips of Water (my mouth has been really dry). I've had a bit of shoulder pain from the gas, the pain from when I woke up was supposidly from that too.

All in all, other than the few hours of being dopey and feeling like I was going to be sick it's all good! Its kind of a bizarre feeling though, knowing its inside and that I'm finally here, I've wanted this for 10 years. New chapter began today, exited for the future :)

Wishing you all luck that have their surgeries coming up <3 love and light!

Hello everyone! So I was banded yesterday around noon. Everything went fine.y surgeon requires an overnight stay in the hospital so I'm still here. I'm not experiencing a lot of pain more soreness than anything. I do have a pain pump too:-) so that may be why I'm not in much pain lol. I wanted to update yesterday hut I slept most of the day. I've had mybupper GI xray performed to ensure proper placement and now i get some Clear Liquids. Yay! As far as I know I'll be going home sometime today. Thanks for all the warm wished and prayers!

      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!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
