New to this Gastric bypass on march 6



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. I'm very excited to be getting ready to have gastric bypass surgery though I'm nervous at the same time cause everyone that knows I'm having it keep saying the bad in everything not the good. But I need to be healthier for my son. Do anyone have any advice leading up to surgery or after surgery?

I am new as well to the community. I definitely am on the same page as you are. I have to children and want to be there for mines as well, You are taking care of you and to be there for your son. As far as what others are saying they are not in your shoes so let them say what they will. I commend you for being brave and putting your health and love for your son first. Being afraid is natural. Just remember "YOU MATTER." Stay strong and never give in to what others say. Its your choice to make. God bless:-)

First, your baby is BEAUTIFUL! Secondly I'm also preop and nervous. I don't have a surgery date yet though :( I can't wait to be healthy with lots of energy. Just think of all of the wonderful things you'll be able to do with your baby. As far as everyone else and their comments, let them eat their words when you're thinner and happy!

Hi Girls. I am 2 months out. Hands down the best decision I have ever made. It's tough but I have more energy and I feel so much better about myself. I did this for my daughter and couldn't be happier. So go ahead be nervous. But the outcome is so worth it.

Welcome Ladies!!! And I agree with MalyssaSue, I am also two months out and I think it was a great decision.

My advice is take it day by day. The hardest thing to overcome is wanting to rush everything: the weight loss, the food we eat, how fast can we get back to daily life, etc. This is a life changing process and it takes time for our bodies and our minds to adjust. Also, try to remember this is YOUR journey. I struggle with this all the time. I can't compare me to others since we are all on different paths but all hope to reach the same goal to be healthy. We are all here for you so never hesitate to ask a question or reach out for support. The great folks here have brought me in off a "ledge" a few times.

Good luck!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
