Gosh, we should be more than have way through our June banders already! It's going by fast. Soon we'll be all banded. It seems a little quieter on the June board already, I hope everyone sticks around!

KathyStrick, have yet to see a post surgery update from you, hope it went well yesterday!

Hi all,

Include me in your prestigous group. I have been on my pre-op diet since Saturday, June 14th and have lost 6 pounds so far. My surgery is on Monday, April 23. I'm doing pretty good I really am a salt person so I'm having some issues with all the sweet stuff. My partner isn't getting the surgery but is also on the liquid diet for moral support. On top of it my 84 year old mother is living with us for a short time while she is recuperating from Hip sugery and my college age son is home for the summer.

I'm getting a little scared.

I'm doing the preop diet but tomorrow it's one week from my surgery so I am just doing shakes now. I'm really not that hungry.

I really like the Arizona Tea Company's diet peach tea. Also, since I am a reader, I am reading whenever I have a few minutes. The time is flying by!

I SO KNOW HOW YOU ARE FEELING!!!. I felt FINE right up until the day before my op!.. I was pacing.. picking things up and putting them down again.. having no idea what I was doing with myself!.. the few hours prior to departure felt the longest.. but once I was on my way.. the time FLEW BY..and here I am two days later.. back at home.. on my bed.. slight discomfort.. but doing great!!.. and you will do too!!>.

my tip!.. KEEP OCCUPIED.. MOVIES ARE GREAT.. PHONE FRIENDS AND FAMILY.. ...maybe even sleep!!>. ( I couldn't sleep the night before surgery!. I kept waking thinking I had missed my appointment!)..

GOOD LUCK!!!!!.. It is a very strange feeling to be NERVOUS< ANXIOUS AND EXCITED!!!... but we are all here for you.. keep posting messages!..that helped me too!.. If you look back I was even waffling nonsense!>. but it is good to keep talking about it!!!..

Hoping everyone sticks around also. Make sure you sign up for the spreadsheet tracking on my other thread. I will probably create a LBT Social group when I get back from surgery next week also.

Lets keep the motivation and support going past our surgeries, it will mkae losing weight afterwards that much easier.:smile:

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      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. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      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!

      3. Doughgurl

        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. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      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. 💜
