My surgery is Officially October 9th. This whole process has been so quick and painless! My insurance company has been fantastic. My first surgeon appointment was September 10th' date=' I met with the dietician and psychologist that same day. My info was submitted to insurance September 13th and I was approved September 20th. Super exited and thankful timing worked as it did.these boards have been super helpful and I look forward to losing b with all of you![/quote']

I wish mine was painless LOL. Well it's been painless but just takes forever. I had to do the 6 months supervised diet and the way my insurance is it has to be consecutive so actually it's 7 months. I go on the 4th to pcp to get final weigh in

Saw my surgeon this morning and he says im doing great, & we both cant wait till the 8th, he says im the perfect canidate for this surgery. I love my surgeon he's really down to earth and very easy to talk to, and it's a added plus that he knows all of my other doctors so they all have been working well together to get my surgery on it's way. 11 days to go and I cant wait.:)

So I started to have a little panic attack today. It sounds silly but I'm kind of grieving over my favorites foods that I will no longer be able to eat. (chocolate and Mexican Food). I am way more excited about the surgery and all the positive benefits to my life. But also sad that I will be losing my Comfort foods. Anyone else having this feeling?

A little bit.... I start my self inflicted liquid diet tomorrow and can't decide if I want Chinese or chicken wing for my last solid lunch for 2 months.

I know it's not forever so that is helping with me reasoning with myself.

Chinese is good but a lot of sodium which will make you hold on to Fluid for days!! I know October 1st olive garden is opening up so on the 4th after my final weigh in my last supper will be there

Its been 7 years since I went there so really looking forward to it. I love the salad mainly. And I am not a drinker at all but when I went last time my aunt purchased a pitcher of some kind of wine with a bunch of real fruit in it. And that's what I am getting lol

I went with the Chinese food :) house special chicken and cream cheese wontons yummy!

Crab ragoons that's what we call the cheese wontons and they are my favorite. I love Chinese but the last couple times we ate there we got sick. So haven't been in a long long while

It was probably sangria that is usually red wine with fruit in it served over ice

      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 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. 💜
