:rolleyes2:flirty..i for one really want to hear everything bout your upcoming surgery!! im counting the days down with you now! your gonna be so happy with your new body and at only 25 you have years of showing it off! you are having so much done in one day tho, you make sure you take advantage of the painkillers, your paying enough not to be in too much..yes a morphine pump would be brilliant. i bet the surgeon is looking forward to transforming you too!..cant wait to see your results. you say your having mainly disolving stitches, did he mention having any temp drains put in? what is the surgeons name? x

i'm counting down the days for you as well, was going to text you yesterday but got distracted:sad:

I'm really down at moment as haven't lost since first fill and can only go to wls once a month so think this weight loss will take forever for me:crying:

odge modge, you have lost one and half stone already!..thats great...but i know what you mean, cos after a great start it slows down and you feel despondant, but another couple of fills youll start losing again..a lot of people say the same..they have greatest loss post op, then again 6 months after it gets going again. so for next month or two just concentreate on not putting any on at the very least. you will prob be really surprised soon when it starts to come off effortlessly when you get restriction. i got it on third fill then lost it again, then got it again on 5th. i am just right now.shame you cant get to another WLS venue?..we had em every 2 weeks to start as we have one here in sheffield and also not far away in leeds, so are lucky that we could..maybe it might be worth you travelling to another clinic venue just once?

Hi All, Just to say that's me back and I'm feeling fine. Well, feeling a bit like a bull has ran head first into me but apart from that I'm good :tongue2: I haven't suffered from wind pains or any of the other symptoms that I've read about so I'm grateful for that!!

For anyone that's thinking of booking I'd advise that you go directly with Dr. CDB. When I booked I wasn't aware of that option and now regret it. When I arrived at the hospital I wasn't on their list. As I'm sure you can imagine I had a few choice words at the receptionist whilst she flapped about repeating "you're not on our list so you're not here today" Luckily before it got "physical" Frederick appeared. The up shot was that pre-op I was sent to day care on my own and after the recovery room I was in a ward on my own. I got taken care of well by the nurses though and they kept me well topped up with pain relief when I asked but I think i was kind of forgotten about due to being in a ward on my own. I didn't even get offered any lunch. I even had to prompt them to get my x- rays before I left.

But all that besides I'm pleased I went through with it and feel pretty good.:)

Day 2 post-op & I'm absolutely starving hungry. I understand its liquids for 10 days but I've had to have a slice of bread with my Soup tonight because I'm famished. Does anyone have any ideas how I could overcome the hunger pangs, they're worse than the incision pains :tongue2:

Oh God, woe is me, I had a 1ml fill today in Southampton, ate the tiny bit of yougurt they give you and drank the cup of Water all was fine.

It had taken us from 7:30 am until 11:30am to drive from ours, I had a half of a corned beef and Tomato (skin removed and crusts cut from Danish loaf) sandwich and 2 bites of a Walls snack pork pie, then I ate a 4 finger Kit Kat, over the 4 hours. Bad I know but it was a last supper thing again !!!

Michael put in 1 ml, and I seemed fine, but hubby decided that we would take the pretty way home, A roads, and a B road, which was so narrow that 2 cars couldnt pass.

He drives fast and I kept asking him to slow down, but he said its fine I'm within the speed limit.

Unfortunately with the stress I think my band has tightened, cos I can only manage ice cubes or a tiny sip of water.

I feel like when you need to PB, as if some food is stuck, which I know it cant be, as its now almost 9pm.

Has anyone else felt like this before? I now have 6 and a half mls in my band which holds between 9 and 11.

Was just reading through other posts, and I notice that quite a few of you have experienced the same thing.

Maybe this will spur on my weight loss.

They weighed me today at the Spire and I am 1 kilo heavier than when I had my first band implanted, and I didnt even do a pre-op diet, didnt have time it was arranged so fast.

How quickly the damn fat piles on doesnt it, doesnt seem to come off as fast though, well, for me that is.

I think its cos of my old age and lack of exercise.

freckles, i am finding that if i eat maybe one spoon to much and the gloop starts backing up then i might as well forget it, ie water food and everything as nowt goes down, i guess its as my osephegus has been swollen trying to push food throught and just needs a few hours to settle. Now that i have grasped this and the noises and feeling i am getting better.

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
