Congrats on making it to the losers' bench! I hope it is smooth sailing over here too. It's still a bit scary *not knowing* if I'll get through these last 3 weeks. OMG! It really is just 3 more weeks!!

I hope you continue to heal.[/quote']

Your going to be fine. It really doesn't hurt as much as I thought it would. These 3 weeks will go quick. If you have any questions let me know I'll be glad to answer anything. I can't wait to see how fast it comes off but I'm just taking it one day at a time. Good luck! !!

That's good to hear! Glad you are feeling good.

Just rinsed with hibicleanse and gargles listerine like they wanted. Waking up at 2:45 to get ready to go in for surgery. Didn't think this day would come!

Hi Tina727

Thanks for your views I would like to say a bit ,first we here are here because this is our last hope and I believe each and everyone of us here have tried everything they could before even considering I have friends who this is not even their first time but third so let us get this one first that this is and was our last hope of getting our life's back.

The biggest losers - these people are just like us but were very fortunete again let me say fortunate to have been chosen to go through this to get thier life's back the humiliation they went through cannot even be compared to some of the nasty words that have been used for some of us here some of us have lost loves of our lives just because we are fat,some friends,some could not even go out in the community,or social events for fear of what people will say of react because of our size so I can say this for myself if could go on biggest losers and have a new life with minimum extra skin toned body and on and on I would jump in with my heads .

This is a show to make people like us realise that it is possible to lose weight woth excircse but as you can see you need 24/7 motivation,team work and 1000% dedication and in our world how many can afford this time wise and financially so girl please choose your words wisely secondly try asking your insurance company if the would pay for a year of what the biggest losers do and go through and also ask for a bypass and see which one they would jump to say yes to pay so being on here and having surgrey is easy we. Ould lose our lives ,have to be on medication for life, can not eat whatever and everything we want or like so its not just a choice but our only choice that's why it's so important to us that's why even though we've not seen each other we love them to bits and support each other making sure they are okay each day so please we Re not loser but. Champions in loosing weights that has humiliated us for years and put us down for years and has made us lose loved ones and friends

TINA727 WE ARE CHAMPIONS OF LOOSERS THANKYOU

My surgery is August 6 and I am the same' date=' very excited but very nervous![/quote']

I just had surgery on August 5th and I had the bad for a year and got gastric bypass. I am so happy I decided to have this revision because I HATED the band and I am praying that I love bypass. So far so good just in pain :/ haven't lost any weight yet I think it's from all the fluids, it's making me so bloated. Does anyone no when you usually start losing?

Thanks!!

      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. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      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. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      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. 💜
