February 2021 bypassers?



Recommended Posts

Feb 2 is my date. I am doing the pre-op diet and have lost 10 lbs. Talked to the anesthesiologist yesterday and have my COVID test lined up early on the 1st. I got some library books to keep me easy in the days afterward.

Welcome @Pkump and @BostonRiley!!

Congrats on the weight loss so far @Pkump!! Amazing!! I am crossing my fingers I will have similar results! Only a few days to go! I will be crossing all my digits for you!

@BostonRiley I think you have the closest date to mine (2/22)!!! Hurry up and wait, right?! When do you start your preop diet? I am going in for my last informational meeting on Wednesday... eeek! I start the diet on 2/8. I am assuming I will get all the details on Wednesday.

I am clearly over-preparing (severe fear of the unknown)... my current buys:

@TreeTrunks Thank you for the welcome! I start my preop diet on 2/5, so only a few more days to go. I feel like I have so many appointments between now and the 19th. I haven't bought too much stuff as I'm afraid to. I did buy some templates on Etsy to track my Water in take, my weight by the week and a sheet for my measurements. My boyfriend helped me last night take a bunch of before photos for me to put in my weight loss journal. I am right there with you with the overthinking! We will get through this though!

Oooh! Can you send me the links. I've created my own with a dot journal, but am always looking for ideas!

I need to get my husband to do this...or start taking some in front of the mirror! I've been avoiding it...

Thank you! I have one more day of liquids including Protein Shakes and Soup and then the 24 hours prior just Water. Today the preop diet was much more manageable. I still need to take before pictures and pack. I'm excited and trying to keep fear of the unknown down. I overthink and overplan and this forum has helped me not thinking I'm crazy 🙃

Its been awhile since I played basketball so I have been practicing lol but I would never had even volunteered to do this 70lbs ago! 
      This surgery has changed my life for the better!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
