I'm having surgery in December and wondered if I had someone out there to go through this with?

Hey twin! How's the liquids going for you?!

Okie Dokie ...How's it going with you...We are at the count down mode

My bypass is today! I can't sleep, I'm so nervous.
I'm rethinking things, if I could have done something different to get this weight off, but no matter what I try, my weight keeps going up. I was small in my early years, about 135. After I had my son, everything just went off track, I'm now almost 300lbs! This is my last chance to get healthy. Please pray for me guys, that I get thru this surgery. Thank you.

Jacie, honey, I am So So happy for you. As someone who almost left it until too late , I congratulate you for doing it at a much younger age. Your son will be getting a new improved model Mommy, one that will have fun , play games with, and generally be fun to be around. Not saying you were all those things before but mobility does mean a lot. You'll now be the express train instead of the Huff and Puff model. And I want to be kept updated as time goes along because I do believe in the operation and its benefits. And mine has not been a textbook recovery, ask anyone who has followed me, but I find much to be upbeat and hopeful about, and I will not die soon from obesity, as once was predicted. I WILL MAKE IT AND DO A GREAT JOB DOING IT! This is my vow before God and all my Bariatric witnesses!????

Congrats on taking control of your life!! It's not bad, I had the bypass on 12/3. I'm in the puree stage now and I find myself trying to be creative with food . Good luck to you, you will be fine.

I was 12/3 and so far so good I feel great actually and I’m on purées until next Tuesday

Thank you Frustr8... did I forget to say that I'm 55yrs old? [emoji4]. My son and granddaughters are all skinny minies!
The surgery went well, I'm just in a great deal of pain. Once I'm better, I'll post post-op info.

Thank you Nikki! How long did it take for the pain to go away?

I have minimal pain right now but I stopped taking my hydrocodone a week ago. Everyone's pain tolerance is different. My pain feels more like cramps at this point. So to answer your question, the pain hasn't gone away but it is tolerable.

Rachietach, my bypass was Dec 10 also. How are you feeling??

I'm December 10th! I have my pre-op day long appointment on the 15th so I'll find out about the liquid diet then, but most likely have to do two weeks starting the monday after Thanksgiving. We're in this together! [emoji4]

I was December 10 too!

How are you feeling?

I’m feeling really sore. Mostly on my left side

How are you feeling?

Sore. Uncomfortable really. Gas has moved into my left hip.[emoji45]

How are you feeling?

How about you?
