I'm super shy and haven't really reached out to anyone yet. My entire process started really slow and has literally been moving so fast that it's hard to keep up. I started this process in July. My highest weight was 401 and my current weight is 360. I met with the surgeon yesterday, my surgery is scheduled for next Friday and my liquid diet starts today. It's hard to believe that I've met all my goals, got cleared from nutrition and psychology and saw the surgeon in just a few months. It been almost surreal. I'm hoping to make a few friends and help encourage people going through this process too! Here's a little bit about me:

Name: Angel

Age: 26

Height: 5'8

Nice to meet everyone! Good luck on your journeys. [emoji3]

Thank-you so much! I'm having gastric bypass done. I have bad reflux, so the sleeve isn't a good option for me.

Welcome [emoji106][emoji106] there's heaps of tips and recipes and "what to expect" posts and it's a great place to hang out and get inspiration, coz you name it someone has had it or done it before! Hehe

Welcome to BP! My bypass surgery was this past Tuesday and last night was my first night home. My biggest advice is to walk. I did way more laps at the hospital then required and found myself awake at 3 am today and walked a half mile in my house - so far 2.5 miles for the day. Trying to work the bloat out. Feel free to ask questions. Summer and previous months bypass buddy threads contain lots of info as well.

Congrats on your surgery date.

I actually have a few questions for you. Would you mind if I messaged you privately?

I've always been a super shy person. Especially in high school. College definitely helped me branch out! I just can't believe how fast everything is going.

Not at all!

My advice is sugar free popxicles. They count as liquid and feel so good going down.

I'm 9 days out from my surgery. Walking helps with all the medical stuff and the boredom in the hospital and at home.

Welcome!! Don't be shy everyone here is great. You got this!! Best of luck on this incredible journey.

So I Glad @ Jakesoldlady t9 see you're doing good!
