This is my first time here and I am in the process of getting gastric bypass. I currently have the lap band which I totally regret. Unfortunately I had a very close person to me pass away from gastric bypass and after that it scared me so bad that I decided to go with the band. I lost 60 pounds and then it stopped:( since, I've gained most of the weight back and recently injured my back and found out I have fibromyaglia. I have 2 beautiful girls and a wonderful husband. I am getting gastric bypass now because I want to be healthy and happy for my family:) right now my lap band removal has been denied but hopefully my wonderful doctor will get that overturned. Just patiently waiting impatiently!!

Omg!! Thanks a billion!! Hit the spot! So yummy! I love this place it has more then just support????

Lol isn't it great jess??? I love them!!!

Hey ladies. Jess805 I haven't had much luck controlling my Fibro pain. I tried lyrica and it did nothing for me and I took cymbalta and it was helpful. I've been trying to get off all meds. I just take meds for sleep because I have never been a good sleeper. I take quetiapine for restless mind and nerves( it's an antipsychotic but used for many things) and I take zopiclone. Other than that it's just pacing myself, hot baths, lots of heating pads.

I'm a horrible sleeper too.... I worked almost 3 years graveyard shift because I figured I might as well make money. In the long run it was a bad idea and I take trazadone to help me sleep. My rhuemotologist is a bitch.... She attributes all my problems to my weight so I can't wait till I lose weight and can finally get to the source of my issues.... That an a new doctor might not be a bad idea! Haha

Pupichupi how are you feeling?? I'm home and other then some pain I'm doing well. Just curious to know how things are!! I hope good!

Jess I'm ok, sore as well and tired!!! I sleep a lot right now but I think its from the pain meds they make me very sleepy!!! I am otherwise doing good!!! How are you feeling??? Are you getting enough in?

Doing well, I'm able to get enough in. As much as I'm supposed to. Living off of jello, water, and protein drinks:) I have a drain in till tomorrow, can't wait to have it out.

How's the diet going? I've been lucky no nausea yet....knock on wood! Lol! Can't wait to eat actual food. I've tried yogurt, cottage cheese, and an egg. Wanted to know what you've been trying and how everything is going.

Hey jess me either with the nausea??? I am going Thursday to get staples out!!! I freaking can't wait!!! I am trying things!!! I have 2 shakes a day which count for my protein cause they are 30 grams of protein per scoup, one for breakfast & one for dinner then throughout the day I have yogurt, pudding, cheese stick, is had some of the cup of noodle soup chicken, sugar free popcicles, mind you this isn't everyday these are just some things I've tried!!! Plus lots of water but I found I can't drink water unless it is like really cold? Like half frozen? But I'm happy so far! I'm 1 lb away from 20 lbs down!!! Woohoo

That's awesome! Ive only lost 12 pounds:( I thought I'd have lost more but I guess everybody is different. I started walking yesterday so hopefully that will help. Keep up the good work I can't wait till like 6 months from now and see the progress... We are gonna have to post our pics!!!

I agree 6 months from now we should be half way there!!! Don't get discouraged that its only 12 that's just a number, its how you feel that's the biggest thing!!! I am definitely going to post pics every month!!!
