LESS THAN 12 Hours for my surgery! I cant think of any suitable words to say it or express it! But this boars should take an award soon!! and it will have to be the very first resort for anyone who is looking for real support!

What I love about it here? Is people still comes back! even at their goal.. They update their status as if they are updating their fb! "Yeah I was a freak and watched it closely" I will be sure to recommend it to anyone who is considering the sleeve!

It is really safe.. at OH I had to stop posting cause spam emails started stocking my inbox.. I NEVER found one rude/mean/unsupportive response here!

It is crazy but it is absolutely perfect! I love u guys! you have done magical mental help for me.. u have no idea:)

That being said:) I have stayed good with myself for the past weeks.. yeah I had 2 or 3 bad food.. but I didnt gain! I actually lost 2 pounds! which is really awesome with my band:) Today ofcourse "the inner devil inside of me" shouted .. u should have the infamous "Last supper" I dont wanna cause u any pain but I did have my cake and ate it too! but didnt go so far.. the band is still working:)

My worst nightmare! I couldnt give up smoking.. " we dont have a policy of cancelling the surgery in case u smoked" and I wish we did... so hopefully I will stop abusing myself afterwards and give it up soon! after my surgery if I did make it :S

Fear, anxiety and freaking out is still there.. but all I have to do is go back to my last topic and read ur relieving posts!

I am not worrying about my food intae afterwards or that I Will deal with issues of not having so much food .. cause I had a well practice with my band... my ONLY fear is not losing.

I am staying on and off the board until midnight .. and then I will try to get some sleep .. so my last request, PRAY FOR ME! and keep me in your good thoughts:)

Thanks! and seeya on other section of this board! although I will still come to this section to contribute! but I guess no new topics for me here!! XOXOX

Good luck to you. You will do great! And remember, this section is for POST-op diets, too. Not just pre-op.

Ladies, I had angels not doctors.. The first one who checked on me told me if I got too many fears, he will just give me a pill to relax me .. which worked.. down at the OR the other doctor told me that am too emotional! and he will give me ( epidural) not sure of the spelling at all, it is given for the ladies in labor and he kept telling me that I already look amazing!! why are u are getting sleeved, he was so sweet.

I dont remember anything afterward:)) The technology is really different than before when I had my band:)

I am still not focused I suffered from stomach spasms and some nausea thn I asked them to take me off of the pain meds. I just use voultareen in case I feel so sore.

I am glad and still feel weird about the whole thing but I feel lucky to have this much support, ur words kept me going:) and yes I was about to call my surgeon and cancel 1 hr before the surgery:)

glad I didnt!! hope everyone have the same gorgeous doctors I had:)

I also had my gallbladder removed and had many scar tissues..

thank God for everything XXOO

      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. 💜

        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. 😍

      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. 💗

        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. 💜

      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!
