November Dates



Recommended Posts

First week I wasn't really focused on Protein mainly fluids. I'm almost two weeks out now and I'm up to about 60 grams a day but that's a struggle. The fluids have been ok since I am mainly on Protein Drinks. No other way to hit that number. Hang in there.

Thanks! I figured being focused on the protein would kill 2 birds @ once since they are liquids anyways! Ill keep at it then! :) I feel great though! Not hungry since I woke up from the operation and not even head hunger! Its amazing. I wonder if I'll get it later....

I had my surgery last Tuesday, and so far I'm doing well. Still on Clear Liquids, tomorrow I start the Protein Shakes. Oh how I'm looking forward to the Protein shakes. Water and tea is good, but a new flavor will be very welcomed. I still have gas pains, but not as bad at the beginning. I know that to will soon pass. I have no craving for junk food or food for that matter, but I do find it insulting that when I go to department stores etc. food is in our faces at every turn, however, the jokes on them now, because they don't have me doing any impulsive buying anymore. So there! I guess ya gotta have a sense of humor, to get through the pig out season.

Just home from the hospital tonight. Surgery was 11/26. Having trouble getting anything in...water, Protein, Jello, broth. The idea of it makes me sick. I had complications so I don't want to go back to the hospital but I can't get anything in. Any advice?

Oh Man my liquid diet was only 2 days and I swear I wanted to kill someone I was so snappy!

Hang in there it is SO worth it!!!!

I went on a full cleaning frenzy for 2 days. The morning of the surgery... I was exhausted from cleaning all day sat and sunday which was almost kinda great cause I slept the majority of the time i was waiting in the preop area lol

You CAN do it!!!! Your hubby should understand or at least just let it roll of his shoulder. Your going thru alot right now.

Lisa: focus on Water, in some form, for hydration. It's the most important right now. I really didn't start Protein until over a week out. I had complications also and a second surgery. So far so good. Hang in there. It does get better. :-).

I felt the same way before . It is ok take some deep breaths take a bath and say good bye to your old body. You will do great it will be over before you know it and you will be on to the new you. You did not go thru all that just to turn back.

Don't cancel! You will be fine. The first week is pretty rough but each day gets better. You can do this. Heck If I can anyone can.

      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. 💜

      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. 😍

      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. 💜
