I'm scheduled for a bypass on July 22. This has been a 7 month journey since making the decision to have wls. I'm a 39 year old single mom of 3 and school counselor. I've only told a couple of friends, my parents, and my boss. My ex and others will just have to wonder, I guess!

I'm making the decision bc I want to be the best mom I can - active, fun, and healthy. After a heart issue, rheumatoid arthritis, an orbital tumor, stomach ulcers, a huge hernia, and sleep apnea I'm ready to shed this fat suit and take control of my life and health. I'd also like to feel confident enough with my body to travel more, date, and be strong and healthy.

I'm nervous about the pre-surgery diet that starts in 3 days and about the length of recovery. I don't want to spoil the last few weeks of my kid's summer vacation with feeling crappy and being stuck at home. I'm praying for a week of yuck, a week of better, then feeling ready for anything (within reason).

I have really enjoyed this group/app and have been seeking information and reassurance here for months. I didn't actually 'join' until yesterday, though! Any advise about gastric bypass recovery, things to expect, and success stories will be appreciated!

I'm on pre surgery diet and surviving. I had a small cheat on 4th July but otherwise doing well and sticking to it. I took everything I needed with me to a BBQ and made it. I really have a different mindset because I want my surgery so I am stocking too it. Hardest for me is late far after I have had everything allowed already. ..want to eat so I drink a glass of water or cheat with a baby carrot or two. I figure the calories of a baby carrot won't cost my surgery. I've been losing already and feel good about it. I think I'm the long run our kids will be better off that we did this. Not an easy choice to make. And after surgery I think we are supposed to do lots of walking. I hope you are successful in whatever you choose. Is be happy to be a friend and answer what I can from my experience.
