????Any May Gastric Bypass peeps????

[Salonboi 353]

You guys want to hear something awesome? Ok, I LOVE pizza too... It was a weekly meal at my house. I started my pre-op diet on the 13th of March. My surgery was on the 31st. I honestly haven't had a craving for pizza (or anything unhealthy honestly) since about 5 days after I started the pre-op diet. I haven't been hungry at all since surgery. It is such a relief to be outside of surgery and know that it is working. I know I'll eventually get hungry again and I'm sure there will be some cravings but at this point it seems like this will be manageable. Wish you guys luck on your surgeries!

I'm so glad to hear that about the craving. Pizza is a weekly thing at our house too. I feel fortunate that my husband said there's no need to fix separate meals. He'll eat what I fix.

You are very lucky that you hubby will eat what you fix!! My partner is very picky, but I can be sneaky to.. So maybe it'll work out in the end. I'm the main cook for us and our son.. So I have total control of everything lol

I have severe acid reflux. I even had surgery to prevent it. It didn't work. My surgeon said the only way to get rid of it was the bypass. From my research people seem to lose more weight with the bypass.

I deal with acid reflux as well, and am looking forward to it subsiding after surgery..

I am scheduled for May 4th. My pre op diet is 2 Protein Shakes and a light dinner a day. I am to start the diet on 4/24. I'm a bit nervous but also looking forward to the days I can be more active.

Congrats on the surgery date and May the Fourth/force Be With You lol

I saw others say this, I thought it was cute lol

It is so scary but so thrilling to know we will be on the losers bench really soon. I keep going over all the clothes I have from my skinny days with tags still on them.. I'll have so much fun shopping in my own closet again soon..

Best of luck to you! I know we will all be so happy when it's done!

Thank you and yes we will be ????

I'm doing my best to enjoy each and every moment in between to still.. I've wished to much of my life away waiting for the day when I finally have whatever it is I'm wanting.

Hi!! My surgery is May 13. I'm still smoking and surgeon won't do surgery if I'm still smoking! I've tried to quit. I'm so disgusted with myself! They will test for the chemical that remains in your system after smoking. I need help!! it's hard to be excited when I'm scared that I can't quit!!

I'm scheduled for May 4th as well! I had cancelled it due to fear and then rescheduled it. I had my mind set on the sleeve, but my surgeon suggested bypass. This site is really helping me to get over my fears. Thank you all for sharing.

@@Sweetjess602 I've been struggling with the same issue. I bought one of those vapor pens or ecigs. I started out with 12mg then 6mg and now zero nicotine. I think it helps me just to see the smoke coming from it. It also helps to do deep breathing exercises as well as remind yourself of the benefits. I'm happy that i no longer smell like an ashtray. lol. You can do it! Don't beat yourself up. Try reading The Easy way to stop smoking. It can help change your perspective about smoking. I hope this helps a bit.

I'm scheduled may 26th! Just found out yesterday. I'm so excited and happy!

[rebecca920 24]

I was very confused when my surgeon suggested RNY over sleeve but I talked to 2 of my friends who had the RNY and they both said it was the best decision they ever made and would do it again in a heartbeat. I was a smoker too for 25 years but I knew I had to quit. It has now been 5 weeks I have not had a cigarette. You can do it! If you want this bad enough you will do it, believe in yourself!

I can't speak from personal experience but is it possible to cut one or two out everyday until you're off completely. I'll pray you'll be able to quit.
