I'm scheduled for gastric bypass surgery on January 28th and I'm so excited!! I keep getting impatient about waiting but I know it will fly by! Any advice for a newbie?

I have Dr Desimone as well. Surgery scheduled for march 11th! I'm so excited! Hope everything went well with your surgery.

Congrats and good luck to u all

I have Dr DeSimone at Crouse hospital. Only two weeks left! Getting psyched!!

How are you?? Hope your surgery was a complete success!!

How's everyone doing post op?! I had my surgery Monday (today Saturday). This is really hard, but I'm taking it one day at a time.

How are you?? Hope your surgery was a complete success!!

I had my surgery on Tuesday January 28th. When I woke up after it was the worst pain ever and I hated doing this! But now, 5 days later and 10 lbs lighter (when I weighed myself yesterday!) I'm feeling a lot better! The gas pain hurts more than the incisions now but I use my heating pad and that helps a lot! I haven't had any nausea thank god! It is a lot of hard work, but it's worth it!

Feeling much better now at the end if day six. Question, are you hungry? I can't stop thinking about delicious foods. I think I'm just head hungry so I'm trying to ignore it, but I'm starting to feel a little weak. Going to try some 100 cal Greek yogurt-- good source of protein. Afraid of failing- I want to STOP thinking about food!

Yeah. The first couple of days are hell! But remember it gets better!

I haven't experienced hunger. I did almost pass out yesterday in the shower. I ate some yogurt and that helped. Today I had a Protein shake before I took a shower. Much better!

Good luck next week!!
