who is having surgery in September?

[Jolisue 112]

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.

Let's be BUddies. I am 66 years old. I want to lose aout 200 lbs. My surgerry date is Sept 16. My surgery is scheduled for 7:15am. I am having robotic. My sister is arriving from alaska today. She is going to spend the week with me. I have a couple of things I need to do - but I am generaly set. I lost 8 lbs on the presurgery diet which was not a liquid diet like many others.

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?

[breehuskins 18]

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.
