Sweet hot...I am feelin for ya hun.....do they want you to get to goal before a fill!!! That makes a whole hell of a lot of sense....wish you could have had the surgery here....

Annie...you will do okay....I think pbing happens more after fills....if you have had no problems with getting stuck on mushies you shouldn't have a problem with real food. I ate meat and cheese, Cereal, pretty much anything....the only things I really had a problem with was bread and hamburger....just got stuck for a while no pbing! As long as you chew well you should not have a problem! (especially if you are getting hungry because that means the swelling is down and your hole to the lower stomach is quite large enough to accomodate most foods....which is why the weight loss is so much harder now dammit!!!!)

Nat and BK....I am with ya'll!!!! Naps are so wonderful....why don't kids think like that! Bye the bye nat what do you do???

Bevers....I so hope that your dad is doing better and on the mend...we sure do miss you girl!!!

Mystique...sorry about the test.....but congrats on the weight loss you are doing so fantastic!!! We are proud of you!!!!

mistique-sorry about the drivers test. I also failed mine the first time, I couldn't back up straight if my life depended on it! still can't, just the other day i backed up into the brick wall across the street. lol. didn't damage the van, so hubby doesn't know.

Thanks for the advice about the fill. I'm not officially 4 weeks out until monday. we are going to amsterdam until monday night so I could wait another week for one which would put me at 5 weeks. heck i would even wait 2 more weeks. I just don't want to wait 6-8 more.

I emailed him and told him i lost all of the weight the first week when i was on liquids. he hasn't emailed me back yet, hopefully he will agree. I am such a bugger to him i bet. i bet he's like stupid American quit bugging me!!! i have a feeling he will let me get the fill, just to shut me up.

it will only take him like 5 minutes to do it.

nat-why the grump-a-lumps? Sorry work sucks. Go home and get some sleep. ::hugs:::

btw, did you really like that book you mentioned. I am thinking of buying it.

bkwalling-i am so glad to hear dad is doing okay. Are they using those compression booties on him? What about Heparin? Keep an eye on things if you can. Hopefully he will be up moving soon but I know with the hip replacement, they generally are laid up for a bit. Sorry about the Parkinsons, that is tough. I wish they would find a cure for that. you are in my thoughts and prayers.

sweethot-that seems wacky about the fill. Truth be told, I am planning to go as long as possible without one. I have no idea how long that will be. I am not starving yet, I am eating more than a 1/2 cup at a sitting though..granted we are talking liquids. I will not survive on a half cup of food and still get all of my necessary nutrients. hmm, we'll see what the doc says, but I was losing weight before surgery on more food than this, I exercise, so I hope I can still lose weight without starving! I would love to go without a fill for a couple of months but only if it works, we'll see. I would definitely be a squeaky wheel.. If they are saying "stupid american" who cares. They will say what they want, and you will get what you want. Keep annoying them!!!!

chubbygirl-congrats on the transition to food. Just take it slow. I have no other advice but I will be looking to you in a couple of weeks. haha.

mystique-sorry about the test. Don't worry, a lot of people get nervous and fail the first time. Just relax and take it again.

dawnae-I am not at home but I will look into the calories for you when I get home tonight and post tomorrow.

claudia-did you figure out what it was that made you feel sick? was it the crackers in your Soup? I hope you are feeling better.

VA-did you end up eating the cheeseburger? Curious how it went for you. I guess we have to make choices and a cheeseburger no bun is better that a BIG MAC and fries. I would like to think I will never eat "bad" food again and only fuel myself with healthy things, but I know I am human so it will be more about making the best choices MOST of the time. Anything is better than what I used to eat!

I am at school-last class, final tomorrow and then my next semester starts next week. I will always come here to read, but I hope I can post as much. I know life is going to get crazy around here again.

I am off to MD tomorrow-I know I have said it 100 times but I am excited to get off of these liquids!!!!! Tonight I cheated a bit and had a little mashed up chicken and some mashed pea and potatoes for dinner. It totalled less than a cup and was soooo good. I find it hard with the whole not drinking thing. I didn't but I really wanted to have something to drink after my meal. That will take some getting used to.

Hi guys -

I'm home, I've had no nap. I've also had no drink, but damn I'd love a glass of wine! I totally just got done crying. I also posted a msg on our yahoo board because my problem is too detailed to put out here. (All explained in there.)

I am major stressed, and very anxious regarding a situation at work.

In addition, I am going to have to change my boy's daycare. This one isn't working out. I feel like I am failing him. He's still sick, and he's not napping there, so he's just crazed at night when we get home.

Kay, I love that book. I checked on Amazon and didn't see it available. ;) I think it's from like 1993 or something. Maybe a used bookstore?

I'm sitting in my crappy hard bed drinking Water and wishing I had a slab of chocolate cake instead.

I think I am going to lay here and cry for a minute, then I'm going to sleep. I'm sure everything will be brighter in the morning. *sigh*

N.

Nathalie,

I'm sorry you're having a bad day. It's been an "iffy" week for me, too. I keep trying to hang on until my first fill. Old habits are hard to break!

      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. 💜
