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. :)

Welcome aboard Faith! Wonderful ppl here as you will find out. Best wishes on your surgery and journey.

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!

Hi y'all! I just got sleeved on March 4th and cannot wait to get off this liquid diet lol!!

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.
Hi cookies, how r u feeling? We r almost a week out? Have u weight yourself?
I'm feeling good just itchy I have the steri-strips off tomorrow. Started stage 2 today vitamins, protein baby food and yogurt... My scale may be off a little but today from date of surgery about 7lbs down. How are you doing? I'm glad haven't gotten sick at all and drinking plenty of water.

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!
