who is having surgery in September?



Recommended Posts

Surgery is in one week from tomorrow. I bought The Big Book of Gastric Bypass, and am reading it voraciously! Now I'm starting to get anxious! I read the chapter on the surgery, and it does a terrific job telling you what to expect. Now I'm obsessing about sleep apnea and anesthesia.

I am about to go to a local meeting for bariatric patients. I did not know there was a "Big Book of Gastric Bypass." I will run by books-a-million on the way home from the meeting. Thanks for the info Jolisue!

Hi Snowblue,

It seems I have no idea how to navigate this forum. I got an email saying you asked how I was, but I can't find where? Anyhow, wondering how you are doing as well?

Does anyone take depression medication? If so, since your surgery has your depression gotten worse?

I take xanex, not for depression but for stress and anxiety. My doctors are making me get off of it due to the pain meds I take for my back and its not good bc without it I'm just a crying blubbering mess. I'm 9 days post op and I have felt some depression but I think it will go away.

What's everyone's daily caloric intake? I seem to be averaging approximately 500 cal per day.

I still haven't been able to meet my Protein goals yet, so I have no idea. I have been working to get set up on the FitnessPal app to track everything since it seems like the successful veterans are all doing that.

      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
