Hi everyone! My name is Faith. I am having gastric bypass on Wedsnesday. I am starting to get nervous. I would love to connect with people who are on the same journey as me. I could use the support and being able to talk to others who understand. :)

Omfg, I'm so angry at myself, I'm supposed to be on a whoa strict diet this week, didn't lose enough on my pre op diet, they want 4 pounds this week or the 18 th is off. I was out with friends and was too embarrassed to order a salad when every one else had a hamburger. What on earth? Crap, I feel so angry at me. . .gah!

I slept in my bed, used extra pillows. Kingsize or body pillow to use as protection I hugged onto it slept comfortable.

still having trouble figuring out this forum on my iPad, but this post I was referring to the post about sleeping at home after surgery.

So today was day 1 of my pre op liquid diet... Not going to lie it was hard. It is also my time of the month... I have no energy and ended up taking two naps. I also seem to have a headache that just won't go away. I only ended up drinking 3 of my 4 shakes. In the car on my way home today the realization that I won't be able to eat substance for a month really hit me. Overall emotional day with lots of wtf am I doing moments..

I'm in my room finally. Got here at like 6 EST. Extremely tired and my upper stomach has bad gas pains. So far my incisions feel fine. I mainly feel tired, thirsty (cotton mouth), and gassy. They say they'll send me home 2mrw. I hope everyone that had it recently is doing well.

Great news! Get some rest!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
