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' date=' it's making me so bloated. Does anyone no when you usually start losing?

Thanks!![/quote']

Hey I had mine on 7/31 and I gained 2 lbs due to the Water weight but if you stick to it now that is been a week I'm down 9 from my sw. Good luck and I hippie this works better for you!

I'm nervously sitting in the waiting room for my pre-op appointment. I've been dreaming about this, because I don't know what to expect. Sx date is 8/27. Hopefully this will go smoothly. Just wanted to share my nerves!

Oh, Mz Shay! I hope everything goes well with the endoscopy for you. I still have my endoscopy on Wednesday, the semi-liquid diet and I have to make certain that I do not have a yeast infection going on in the area where the incisions will be.

Today went ok other than my nerves.

Just got home from hospital about an hour ago. I went in Tuesday afternoon. Was supposed to be in surgery at 1:30 but dr was finishing another pt in another hospital. I finally go out of surgery around 8 Tuesday night. Wednesday was a bad day for me. Anything I drank I threw up and then some. I spoke to my dr and he said to just do the Iv for awhile because my stomach was all bruised and swollen. So I did not try any more liquids that day. Then Wednesday it was so much better. I have not thrown up again and I have no pain. My cuts just itch alot. Other than the throwing up, I feel great.

Highest weight 360. pre surgery 313, after surgery 329.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
