Seriously froggi I think I almost busted a stich when you quoted her...but you are right...I have liked you since I first met you. I honestly have to say that I believe that you will do FANTASTIC with the band. You have the right mentality and determination.

As for opening your mouth...I have learned to shut mine a bit more now, but earlier in life when people called me a bitch...I thanked them and thought it was a compliment. As a teacher...I have to be more diplomatic and it has spilled into everyday life. Though I have to say I really had to bite my tongue last night when someone told me that I shouldn't get a fill at all because I am at goal even though I am hungry. She told me that I should figure out where my hunger is coming from. Maybe it was in my head. This was on my "home" thread. But I replied with a very curt one liner and then I was done. Really had to fight myselt to not just throttle her.

Chickie, thanks so much for posting the links to your before and after pictures! You look amazing. You should be so proud!

I would love to read that entire article but the print is so small for my old eyes. Maybe I can read it earlier in the day when my eyes aren't so blurry. Is there anywhere it's printed in a larger font?

Oh man. So the only way I get to be a sucess story is to do only liquids? Are we STILL on that bandwagon?.....who is this person's Doctor? My Doc would slap me over the head if I told him that was my diet because thats all I could keep down and then he would immediately remove a lot of my fill!!

Its for reasons like that my doctor is afraid to give proper fills. He stresses it to no end every time im in his office. “You shouldn’t want to get so tight all you can consume are liquids, so Im only going to give you a small fill. I’ll give you .3cc” :)

He even sings songs about it, You know, the Blondie one…

Man from Mars I think it is – eating cars and trucks, no motorcycles… If you are looking at the screen right now like… “WTF?” Well, when you’re stuck on a highway in a traffic jam because several lanes are merging, what’s going to get through faster? Trucks & cars or motorcycles. Exactly.

Also, if we are to regurgitate our motorcycles as a means of training ourselves, then some of us don’t learn so quickly.

Some of us do and frankly don’t need to accent the fact we shouldn’t ever do “that” again.

Love your Docs use of that song as a metaphor LilMiss! That should be the LBT theme song!

LOL, yeah, picture it… you’re lying on the exam table with your shirt practically over your head and your surgeon is singing about eating trucks and cars.

He’s actually got a nice voice.

Dr. Huacruz.

Which explains a lot, IMO.

      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. 💜

      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!

        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. 😍

      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. 💜
