Creating this room for those of us having surgery in August. Welcome!!

God Bless!

I am scheduled for August 19th in Texas! I am SO glad I found this site!! I am finding it very comforting to see other people going through this journey to! A lot of people don't understand why you are having the surgery when you tell them about it, especially kids around my age (22). So I'm glad there are people that understand exactly why I am doing this I can talk to now!

I understand completely! I am only 26 and so I have had some people question me too

Everything went well. Took a whole hour just to clear scar tissue. Had massive Nausea for a few hours but doing great now. Walking every hour- no gas issues!!! Several others who are here are not doing as we'll- they won't get up and walk.. Do what dr says- they know what they are doing!!

Glad to hear you are doing so well!!! It helps to know others who have had bypass are doing so well!

Surgery on August 18th....day 2 today of liquid diet. Anyone have any ideas to add to these 2 weeks to eat besides protein shakes and broth?? I am so excited to get my new life started! Love all the support on this site!

Timing isn't the best...I'm a teacher and school starts the 25th, but as you all know, after waiting so many months you take the first date you can! I figure my health is the most important, and I'm ready to start losing!

I look forward to hearing more about all of your successes!

"Losing" not "loosing"....sorry, it's the teacher in me!

I couldn't figure out if there is a way to edit your post after posting!

Just figured it out...

I'm scheduled for the same day and on day 4 of the liquid diet, only broth protein shakes sugar free Jello and popsicles, i have been loving vegie broth and sugar free bomb pops but am constantly hungry, its to the point that I just gave up on the huger and have been ignoring it.

Hi y'all, I just was browsing around and saw this. My RNY is Aug 18th. Best of luck to all.

Just got my surgery date of 8/11 so add me to the August list lol

How are you since your surgery? Anxious to hear!!

Going for post op netting with dr today. Should be releasing me to go back to work on Monday. Doing great! Only complaint is trying to get in enough protein, water, pills and the few bites of food in a day. I'm constantly having to watch the clock! Always feel so full.. Kinda uncomfortable all day long! Down 11lbs lost that in first few days- no movement on scales for past 3 days

I had mine August 5th gastric bypass
