I GOT MY SURGERY DATE!

So, today was my consultation with my surgeon. I was so nervous because I was supposed to lose 25 pounds and I've only lost 22. BUT everything went well. We discussed which surgery was right for me and he agreed with me when I said I wanted bypass surgery. I'm a sugar freak and he agreed that the bypass was the better choice. He explained a few things I already knew, I asked all the questions I needed to ask. My number one concern was... When can I go to Disneyland? Lol. He said right after but please please please remember to drink drink drink or you'll end up in the hospital the next day for dehydration.

Anyway, my surgery date is May 24, but I am on the cancellation list. Who knows maybe I can get surgery earlier. It's finally real to me. It's finally happening and I am so excited.

Just wanted to express my happiness.

Yes I did, I'm 6 days Post-Op now. Today I'm finally feeling like myself. First 3 days I had TERRIBLE gas. It was so bad that I wanted to go to emergency because it just couldn't be normal to feel like that. I ended up taking milk of magnesium that night and everything was great the following morning. The pain from my insides is still there but it's much improved since day one. I am lucky to say I never experienced nausea, so that is definitely a plus for me. My incisions are mostly healed and I'm so ready for my staples to be removed. I only have pain on my left side, but the doctor warned me about that pain since day one.

I'm not up to 64 oz of liquids yet, but I am getting up to 54. Maybe today is the day!!

It is the best thing you ever did for yourself. I blog about gastric bypass I feel great about this journey
