This is too funny. I try so hard not to talk peoples ears off about the surgery. I'm on month 11 of a 12 month counseling period. I gained 20 lbs since I started so I'm trying to lose 15 lbs by May 2. That's when the surgical nurse sends the ppr work to the ins co. I don't want any reason for them to deny me So freaking excited!!

i am afraid my DH is kind of tired of me talking about it all the time too. My WLS was 12/15/11 - and i still talk about my food, what i'm gonna eat, what not to eat - portions - all that good stuff.

i don't have anyone else to physically to talk to. Mom and daughter, i talk to them about it sometimes, but i don't want to go and on about it, or should i say i don't think they want to hear me go on and on ^_^

i know exactly what you are going through and how excited you are. well i think i do.

take care, write again soon with questions or just to say hi, and tell us how you are doing

later

i have been lurking around for months and I registered right now just to post on this topic. I have been talking about this non-stopppp. i was actually starting to get some serious anxiety from this or so I think thats wat it was from. I am the most impatient person ever LOL and I like to be prepared with as much knowledge as possible when I step into a new situation. All i do is research and learn and talk peoples ears off. I am kind of embarrassed at how excited I am about this, especially when some people look down on this surgery. I still can't contain myself from talking about it to whoever will listen.

i have finished all of my requirements and am waiting for the team at the Bariatric center clear me this upcoming week. Once that is done I will have my appt with the surgeon and we will set the surgery date. im praying nothing unexpected comes up.

Good luck to you all. I am terrified of the pre-op diet.

Guys can totally understand how excited u are. I ended up having to take last two days before surgery off work as I was talking about it so much that I was getting emotional.

My partner was very supportive although he works away we made all or most appointments so that we could share the journey together. He is completely opposite to me. Mum refers to us as the nursery rhyme jack sprat could eat no fat his wife could eat no lean. Lol. But he had been there every step of the way. I spent a week on and off in hospital but with no major issues.

Will be so good to listen to you all share you journey too. I am 12 days post sleeve and getting ready to go to purée stage.

Good luck.

I feel as though I may be getting a little annoying because I'm so excited its all I talk about. No one understand s how huge this is. Anyone else going through this?

I was overly obsessed with my surgey in the weeks leading up to it. The bad thing was I was having my test for my RN boards 4 days before surgery~~ Fortunately I passed. My surgery went well. When I woke up i was freeaking out a little because i couldn't see (i had to take out my contacts) and I still had the tube in my throat. Pain was bearable but i still used the PCA because I felt uncomfortable.

      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. 💗

      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. 💜
