Hey all! I looked around and couldn't find anything for June surgeries. I don't have my exact date yet, but it will be the 1st or 2nd week of June!! Sooo excited!! I had my lap band out on April 18th and they were supposed to do the bypass, but they weren't able to due to scar tissue. I saw my surgeon today and all should be a go for June! Yay!!!! RNY here I come!!!

I have surgery tomorrow. Just got my ivc filter today.

Hey all. I just had to post something that I am patting myself on the back for. In the past I would often turn to food during periods of high stress (haven't we all at some point?). Well today was an unusually stressful day, and I went to McDonald's. I got my son and husband some food - AND NOTHING FOR MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!' While they ate everything, I chugged my water. It was tough, but I did it. And McDonald's was my biggest weak spot. OMG. Anyway, I guess the mindset change is in effect. I know I won't be perfect, but at least I can see the changes in myself.

Good for you!!!!! You are on your way

I didn't mean to send just yet. I was going to say that its going to be tough to rid myself of the head hunger tonight. Still not hungry for food though.

Progress today surgery was 5 days ago. Up until today i've pretty much only been able to drink room temp a water and nothing else because of spasms. But finally today I was feeling a bit better so I have had 2 sugar free popsicles, a 1/4 cup of jello, and a 1/4 cup of chicken broth. It was a pretty nice change. Hope all of my surgery buddies are feeling good today

This is encouraging to me. Thank you! I'm 4 days post op and having the same issues. I would feel so much better if these spasms would stop and I could hold things down.

On clear liquids today. The hospital called and I am scheduled for surgery at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon. I can hardly wait.

Thank you all for your info! It has been really helpful and I'm feeling really prepared for my surgery.

Not sure if my scale is working properly but it says that I've lost another 9lbs since yesterday morning. Is that even possible?!?!?

Well I thought I kept the protein shake down. 2.5 hours later it has reared it's ugly head. I hope it was just too thick to make it thru to the intestines and I'm not blocked. Ugh.
