Hi all I'm newbie here ???? I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Nancy and will be having gastric bypass surgery on June 24th. I'm 39 and have been overweight for half of my life. In my late 20's lost over 110 lbs on Weight Watchers. Then very shortly after got married and pregnant and gained all my weight back plus 50 lbs more... it's been a long almost 10 years yo yo dieting to get the weight off...nothing has worked. With my health getting bad high BP, sleep apnea and Intercranial Hypertension. The surgery is the final straw to get my health and life back. I'm very excited and scared at the same time. So happy I found this forum for support and information... Good Night all.... ????????????

Fellow June 24th. RNY'er! My name is Helen. I'm a newbie too. I'm also excited, anxious and a little bit of everything. But I started this journey a year ago and I'm so ready!! I can't believe it's gonna happen. I am 61. I have been overweight/obese since childhood. Most of my current problems are orthopedic. Hurts to walk but thank God I can still walk. I also have sleep apnea and high BP. I tried to do this 15 years ago but my insurance wouldn't cover it. I go to a support group that has peeps ranging from 20's to 70's. They have had amazing results. Sure there have been bumpy roads, I'm going in with my eyes open.

My surgery group no longer does the liquid fast. But right now I put myself on a low calorie, high Protein, low carb diet. Time seems like it's flying right now.

I'm so ready to be able to walk with my grandkids, go places and do things with my friends and family!!!

I would love to stay in touch and be of support as we start our new life on the same day!

Happychica101, I would love to stay in touch too. This has been a day of reflection, nerves, and a lot of

????????! For today my surgeon just requires light eating and took magnesium citrate this morning at 8. I decided myself that I wanted to eat lite yesterday.. Just had Soup and Protein drinks. Today I'm just drinking cocotein and Water and some broth tonight. I cannot believe this time tomorrow it will be done. A new beginning!! Our journey to a healthy new life begins.

I have been thinking about my lifetime struggle. It's been painful and also insightful. You learn a lot about people.

Can't wait to cross my legs..take a walk thru the woods in the fall.. Visit family in Mexico and seeing the sights.. Never had the energy to do those things before.

I go to hospital at 9, surgery at 11. You will be in my prayers. I'll definitely keep you posted! So excited????. Good luck!!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
