Congratulations DeeryLou!

I'm finally home and feeling better worth my drain out. Mostly I just feel like I got kicked in the stomach after an insane workout. My stomach won't tolerate anything cold or room temperature yet, not even Water so it's just been chicken broth! I still can't belive this is real, that this actually happened. I feel likea completely new person at the start ofa new life!

Woohoo @@Pink Ninja

I am doing well too. Walking a bit, taking pain meds and loving ice chips & SF Jello. I expect to spend most of the day at the hospital today and perhaps go home this evening. No gas yet

All the anxiety and stress just melts away once you're on that table. I don't remember any of it! I do have lots of pain from my period, trapped gas and just the bruised inside feeling but it's getting more manageable. Definitely take walks!

The Versed definitely helps with anxiety, too.

Blessed to be home with family. It was a little challenging with our loving doggies (both affectionate pushers and jumpers) but they figured things out fast. My big dog sniffed and started crying in the back of his throat. It is good to be with the hairy and furry family members. Surgery went well. Pain yes - but it is in check. Fluids, fluids, and Protein will be the theme for the next few weeks. Woohooo! I've found the loser's bench!

Had my bypass yesterday. Don't remember much but a hard table and cold room. Oh and the anesthesiologist telling me to keep breathing into the mask. At which point I said "I dont want your stupid mask" and then I promptly passed out.

It's never too late, until its too late

Hi everyone, I'm still pre-surg. Going through the pre surgical check ups. Day 2 of liquid diet. I am so hungry! I hope it gets better, because I am not very pleasant to be around right now!

@@Sharyn I hear you! I'm at the end of day 3 of Clear Liquids, and I'm basically avoiding my entire family so that I don't snap at them. Honestly, I've decided to use this time to try to "feed" myself in other ways. I'm taking long bubble baths, meditating, taking myself out to the movies, getting a pedicure, etc. Since I can't indulge in food, I'm treating myself in other ways. Hope your hunger gets better!

I'm home trying to figure out the perfect sip, sip, sip balance. I now understand the term trying to make it a reality.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
