I’m usually feeling outta breath and my heart rate gets a little fast so I thought that would e an issue but the Cardiologist cleared me for surgery and the Bariatric surgeon says he is confident in the cardiologist that cleared me and his decision to do so. Thanks for ur positive feedback 😊😌

We are out of breath from our weight. If a cardiologist cleared you for surgery you'll be fine. Always think positive. Everything is going to work out just perfect no worries.

Thank you Linda this is exactly what I needed. Even in my exercise group we have this saying which is “remember your why” when we feel like stopping. This is my journey now and has been, there is no stopping me. Thank you for your words and congratulations on your October surgery date also 😊.

So how you feeling about your upcoming surgery tomorrow? I had mine on Monday and I feel great. Hope you're feeling better about it since we last spoke. Good luck tomorrow 🙏🏻

@linda72 - you and I are surgery twins. Sounds like things are going really well for you. Yesterday was absolutely awful for me. I would get these waves of nausea and vomit, but there was nothing there. It was really bad, but I feel so much better today. Went our for two walks this afternoon and actually finished a Protein Shake today. Will focus more on Water tomorrow. A little worried that my bowels aren’t moving yet ... yours?

Protein and fluids are mostly absorbed or passed in the urine. Probably not enough cumulative solids or Fiber to make a poopy yet. Tell your doc if it goes on a few more days.

Hi Ali. Yes by the grace of God things have been going exceptionally well. The only issue I had was slight chest pain Monday night in the hospital but I would describe it more like uncomfortable then pain. I started walking in the hospital as soon as I got to my room and continued to do so until discharge yesterday @4:30 pm. My surgeon and his entire staff stressed to me the importance of moving around so that gas would be gone as quick as possible. I did get a little nausea yesterday morning in radiology when I had to drink that nasty stuff for the xray. Once I got back to my room and had some tea the nausea passed. I can only have Clear Liquids for the next 2 weeks. One day at a time. I'm glad you're feeling better I hope it continues.

      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!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
