I have an antibiotic for the infected incision and the surgeon was not gentle when he was digging around and cleaning it out. I almost cried or screamed or kicked him in the head. He wants to see me again Monday. I told him he had better send me flowers!

I have a question...I haven't had this really until now...but the last few days I have no appetite at all...did y'all go through that? I'll be 12 weeks out tomorrow...I mean, I'll eat some just cuz I know I should, but it's not as though I am hungry at all. We had our Thanksgiving at work today and I ate cuz everyone was, but I didn't want it at all. Just curious

I had that happen last week. I was literally forgetting to eat until late afternoon. I would try eating and I would only be able to get a few bites in at a time. I think I had 3 days where I fought to get 300 calories for the day. I just plain wasn't hungry at all. This week though, Im hungrier than I ever have been, and yesterday noticed I can definitely eat more than before...I know Im still going to be able to eat more, but it still scares the crap outta me. Maybe because I hit a stall as well at the same time? (This will be my 3rd. stall so Im hoping it won't be as frustrating this time ::rolls eyes::)

What is firefly? Only the best tv series ever that Fox fucked up. It's about these space travelers who are very much human and travel through various planets making deliveries,running errands and getting paid. The character development is nice,there's a mystery running through the episodes, and of course, a punitive republic against whom they must protest. It is witty, clever and IMHO, Joss Wheedon's best work to date. I think Amazon has it for you to stream? it was followed by a movie, Serenity, also very good.

Allegiant et al are another set of teenagers in a dystopian world where people are sorted into five groups, Abnegation, erudite, dauntless, amity, and candor based on their personalities, and are trained that way. Or are they? :) despite the inevitable comparison to hunger games, we thought the books stood well in their own stead.

Laura, your kids might like them, and since the last one was just released they could read all three in a row.

We <3 Firefly, Serenity and Hunger Games at our house as well!! I think I will be checking out Allegiant soon :)

I know exactly what you mean!!! I can eat about 1/3 cup of beef and veggie Soup now with crackers - where I used to could only do 1/4 cup it scares me soooo bad...I don't want to gain anything back or ever get back to what I was!!!

Morning all, I just love this thread because it's like the chat room only better...because when I'm offline, I can always just sit and drink my coffee and catch up.

So instead of etc. we can call this the permanent chat thread? :P

And there is waaaaay to much for me to comment on so I will stick with this: Definitely going to see the Hunger Games movie...thought they did a good job following the book for the first one, so excited to see how they handle the second one. My almost 13 yo is reading the Divergent series right now and talks about it incessantly, not sure I'm up to reading it also. She will probably start the 3rd book today. Seems similar to the Hunger Games and I did look it up on Wikipedia and had a hard time even reading all the stuff they there (ie. it didn't hold my interest) so I might have to skip this one. She is very much into the young adult stuff and for some of you who also are, there is also the Maze Runner (I think it's also a series of books, can't remember how many) but I don't think I saw that mentioned here but she was into that last year.

All I can think of is why did it have to be the week of Thanksgiving? Why couldn't I be forgetting to eat on the week Im cooking crazy amounts of food for days! Oh well..I think next year Im letting someone else cook for 15 people. It's dangerous for my mind to think about and then prepare that amount of food :/

      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. 💜

        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. 😍

      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. 💗

        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. 💜
