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'm so nervous and excited. Its surgery eve!!

Im getting ready to leave for the hospital now. Prayers sent up and blessings coming down!

I hope all goes well with your surgery. I just got to the hospital. There are no rooms available, so I guess I will be sitting in the waiting room for a few hours dying of thirst. Why would they have me come in at 8am if they don't even plan on seeing me until after noon? I'm not in a very good mood right now.

This happened to me too. Stay strong! Had me come in at 7am and I didn't go to the OR until like 11:30. Good luck.

Weighed myself this morning. I've lost 15 pounds exactly since surgery day last Wednesday! Crazy!

Did you gain weight after surgery?

Hello everyone' date=' Im officially on the losers bench, my surgery was Monday, June 10th, I'm doing ok, I have alot off mucus build up I guess from anastcian, Im scared to eat,I don't want to hurt, but I got to, one thing for sure I was surrounded by a great team, Dr. Cahill and Tony Romano, they are the best. Well talk to you ask later. Peace[/quote']

I am glad you are doing okay. One day at a time, girl! You got this!!

Did you gain weight after surgery?

Yeah- I gained about 6 pounds and lost that pretty quickly after surgery. I am counting from my surgery morning "pre-op" weight.

And i'm jealous! I gained 8 lbs post op lost that and now 6 more... I don't know if it has to do with my all clear diet or what... but at least I'm losing

I feel like I am losing slow. Maybe I just had big expectations. I think I have lost only 6 pounds since my surgery a week ago. I still feel good about everything, but wish the scale would move more. I think I will try more water today. Also, we have been having lots of rain,so I haven't been able to walk as much as I should.

I wouldn't worry about it! 6 pounds in a week is VERY good! Keep in mind that your body is going in to shock and may be trying to hold on to fat for a few more days before you start burning it because it thinks you are starving. Everyone's system is very different in how long things take.

Thanks for the encouragement! I do know that it is a good number for a week, but I guess I started thinking that it was going to be so much more post op, I am doing everything they told me, so it will come off eventually.

Exactly! Try to think about it this way-- if you happened to lose 6 pound even every Other week, by this week next year you will have lost 156lbs! That's insane!! We are doing this for our futures, the little losses in the present are just bonuses!

*someone remember this for when I hit my first plateau and get down. Lol*

I just had my one week follow up. I've lost 14lbs in a week!! I'm so excited!! The pa said I'm doing great and I'm cleared for everything (driving, exercising, etc). It took me two months to lose 20lbs before surgery. I'm blown away!! ????

I have a question about the pre-op liquid diet. My body doesn't seen to want to have a bm. I am so bloated!! I have surgery the 17th and would like to relieve some of this pressure beforehand because I know there will be alot of presure post-op. Any suggestions???
