Hi everyone!

Just came back from doctor's office and have a October 28th surgery date for Gastric Bypass. This is it, the high diving platform. Knees are trembling.

Anyone else in October? Let's keep in touch as we support each other. We have the pre-op diet and getting mentally ready for this.

LET'S DO IT!

@smilley922 I can't believe they are not making you use the Cpap. They are required to. I was told if I did not bring mine they would not be able to operate. I am so MAD, I want to go over and slap them (I don't believe in violence but I wish I did in a moment like this.)

@@Mariew24 Welcome. Glad you could join us, October losers.

@@AuriP I can tell your tummy is a little smaller. Hurray.

I was told if I didn't bring mine the hospital would use theirs and it would be VERY expensive and insur wouldn't pay bc I have one that they already pd for.

It was my surgeons orders to not use my cpap, now I am still getting oxygen so that prolly plays I to it. I was ordered by him to bring and then he orders do not use.

Hey guys, I'm going home today! I am down ten lbs and finally drinking my fluids. This is my son and I and then me after.

I just want to pass gas that is the focus of my day.

Pass gas, drink Water, get Protein in.

The gas is in my lower left quadrant.

I can feel and hear it burbling around but I can't get it out.

Gonna start with baby banana food mixed with GENEPRO.

Auri and Bronxmerci!! You both look amazing!!! Your son is adorable! !!!

@@smiley922 I see. It makes sense since they placed you on oxygen. I happens to a lot of people because of the intubation and fluid build up sometimes your lungs can't get up to capacity or are not as effective with breathing. I had oxygen once and actually loved it. I felt so much better.

@@Bronxmerci, you look great and your little one is so cute.

@@Bronxmerci Cute little boy. He has adorable cheeks. You are looking amazing too post surgery. I am floored by how well both you and @@layknee are doing. Focus on that gas!

@@layknee are you home? I have gas too, but I just lay on my side and it just flows lol. I did like 10 squats and it helped also. I haven't had any protein yet, I think I start today when I leave, I'm looking forward to it, all I've had is water, and broth. Thank @ amylynns! I'm looking forward to the menus you sent me once I get home, I'm craving a shake lol.

@misstvb@Beni thanks ladies, I am so surprised that I haven't felt pain. When I woke up from surgery I was crying like a baby but after that they took care of it and it hasn't been bad at all, I feel brand new, they even fixed my back. I'm just dying to taste anything. Water has gotten so boring fast. I just took pills and they weren't hard to swallow either. I think my period is coming down too, which is odd because I was on a 90 day cycle prior and my last period came in august I think the surgery fixed everything in me that was screwed up.
