All I saw was lapband and I though it was because I had initially started in that group. I went to settings and was able to select only bypass view and unchecked the lapband posts so I don't see it anymore. I miss the old setup but hopefully once I updated my settings it will go back to where I can see just my bypass pals.

Where are the settings??

Thank you, I had the bypass in 2001, & I've had lots of problems At that time it was fairly new. Just had a revision Monday not by choice but a have to case. They had to remove lots of scar tissue & part of my stomach. I feel so bad any suggestions on how to start feeling better. I know it's early

Bad how?? Just post-op yucky, achy, exhausted? My magic cure was getting up and moving around and my heating pad. And resting when needed. I had a pretty tough case with my revision, lots of digging around and cleaning things up. Fairly certain my heating pad saved my life :). Yes, it is early, sorry you've had such a hard go of it. Hopefully this will be a new beginning for you.

You have also had a revision? I think just wore out yucky, I'm in OK & my revision was done in Houston TX my dr is great, I'm also worried about my lab work my blood count is not good, not for sure what is going on with that just know that it keeps coming back bad (low,high?...) liquid is getting to me

Revision from band to bypass...get those liquids in! Makes all the difference in the world!!! Good luck, hope they figure out your numbers and get you straightened out

I would imagine you go back to the basics. Heating pad is a great idea- try walking more and talk to your doc about pain meds. Drink your fluids- sip sip sip- dehydration can make you feel yucky.

      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!!
