Hi everyone!! This is my first post & I'm looking for October surgery buddies. I'm very excited about the surgery. I've gotten my psych clearance, scheduled my sleep study, nutrition classes and upper endoscopy. My date is October 14th. Btw, anyone here from Jersey? Look forward to making friends w everyone!

Today has been my hardest day since surgery. I am 6 days post op.. I just don't want anything. I try to force myself to drink fluids and protein but it just don't want it. This is the first day I feel nausea. I have been in bed for 70% of the day and I have no energy. I hope tomorrow will be better

Everyday will get better. I had s day like yours on my 7th day post op. What helped me or at least I like to think was drinking my protein shakes and increasing my fluids. It's tough I know because your not hungry but we must feed our body. Hope you feel better soon.

So is it safe to say we are all worried that something is going to happen and we will not be successful?

I've been overweight my whole life. I've been looking at boards and people's stats, and I just feel there's no way that I'll ever get thin. I have that 'It won't happen to me, something is going to happen" feeling. Weird !

Hate this feeling tonight !

I have this same feeling I also had this feeling before surgery, thinking it wasn't going to happen. It's weird but our mind thoughts can sometimes sabotage our progress. In time this too shall pass. Praying for a new thought process with my new healthy changes for us.

Today is my day... Surgery is at 12:30 pm and I'm nervous... Just want to get it done and over with! ????

Congrats! Everything will be fine. See you on the losers bench!

I can't wait!! ????

Has anyone tried the Nectar brand double stuffed cookie protein shake?

No, is it good? I think I need some new flavor options.

Everyone, I am definitely happy to be on the mushy diet but my doctor doesn't even want me eating potatoes or cream of wheat or any grains. He said to only eat the high protein for my three little meals. I would love a little baked sweet potato, lol. I will have some at the holidays!

I was thinking yesterday, I could have a baked sweet potato with pumpkin pie spice for dessert on thanksgiving

My absolute worst day so far was day 7 (if you count surgery day as day 1). I was completely lethargic, my take home pain meds ran out and I couldn't get more, everything hurt and honestly I slept most of the day and that really helped me out for Monday. You'll rally and I hope today is a better day for you too.

Susan, that sounds yummy, lol.

Going for my follow-up apt today Hope he takes me off clear liquids. 12 days of Clear liquids is enough. I haven't heard back on my pathology report on the gist tumor that was removed so I am scared and nervous. hoping he had the results today. He removed the tumor so worse case scenario we will have to watch to see if it comes back or aggressive approach is to go back in and do the gastric bypass.. I am ready to have soft foods. Finally getting tired of liquid's. Last day of solid food was Oct 3. I hope all our October sleeves are doing well. Keep me in the loop for contacts as I would love to continue to be a part this group if we should move locations. Thanks for listening and supporting

Good luck today!!! I know you will do great. See you on the losers bench =)

My day is finally here! Checking in for surgery at 5:15am. Talk to you all later

Jen!!!!!! I'm sure you're out of surgery now. Let us know how it went when you are able!

Chellede, I know we will succeed. There are no ifs ands or buts about it! The thought has honestly crossed my mind too though. However, my mom just went through this journey, and has been very successful. I think she has her before and after pictures on here. MichiganChic is her screen name. I think because I have had someone so close to me do so well, it takes away some of the scary "this isn't going to work either" thoughts.

As far as the Facebook group, I wouldn't mind being one of the starting few. I was not secretive about my weight loss surgery, so if something goes wrong and it's not private, it's not a huge deal to me.

Peek, so glad your ticker is working! I'll have to check it out when I get home today!

I'm at my one week appointment today. So far I've meet with the dietician and the nurse, and waiting to see the NP. I'll let you know how it goes!

Good luck to everyone having their surgery today!
