I got my surgery date today... November 29th... Gastric Bypass... Now to start planning, getting together everything I need and trying to not stress myself out until then....

I have a surgery date 10/18/2023!!

All of my pain issues are mostly gone. I only feel a bit of pain if I drink too much water. I will put my hands up in the air and stretch upwards until the water moves on. I'm happy that all of my incisions have healed up well, and I went swimming for the first time last weekend. This may sound very strange, but now, jiggling my lower belly around feels nice, kinda like I'm massaging all of those areas that are still healing inside.

Update: Gastric Bypass Date 8/16/2023 Starting weight 376 Current 1323.3 Down 53.7 pounds Pain: I do have dumping issues at times when I eat to fast. Usually I throw up real quick and all is good. Happens 2 or 3 times a week. Other then that no pain. I feel great. Please share your weight lose updates or any pain. Thank You.

No reactions for me, but I’m reading too much about how people with a predisposition toward asthma and allergies are getting new food allergies after a virus. I would be more concerned about a severe reaction, especially since it encircled your neck. I hope you find your trigger soon!

These were so fun to read, and looking forward to experiencing a lot of them myself. I had my survey on July 13, 2023. My best one so far is being able to sit without any issues with my legs crossed!!

I agree. Go back to your basics & what you were doing just before you began maintenance. Meet your protein & fluid goals. Watch your portions & your carbs, sugar & fat. Record your intake at least for a while until you’re back on track or longer if you find it helpful. Get back in touch with your dietician & your therapist (as a support & to talk through any changes, social, emotional, etc. that may have led to old habits returning). You’ve got this.

I am 5 days post op with no pain. Never had any gas pains or pain with walking.

Time to go in and get this surgery done in 1 hour. Cw: 372 Gw: 199.9 or 210 I hope everyone has a great day and I hope to get this done smoothly and share my experience with the group and new members.

If I must eat bread (mostly as a vehicle for something else, like a spread or a turkey patty), I toast one slice of the 647 series breads from Schmidt. It's got 40 calories and plenty of fiber. https://www.schmidtoldtyme.com/647-bread/
