This morning I noticed I was sore and as the day went on the pain got worse and than my hand started to feel cold and fingers were feeling funny. I knew something wasn't right.

I start puréed/blended foods tomorrow and I was looking for some safe ideas. The examples I was given in my manual are just a few and I'm just looking for some other ideas! Thanks!!!!!!

You look awesome!

I just had eggs this morning and it was my first food and I was able to eat all 1/4 of it and it took me a lil to realize I was full. I had burp when I finished eating, sorry I'd that tmi lol.

Congrats!

When are we allowed to try them? Or is it something we can't have at all? I ask because before surgery I loved them

I totally agree with you. I had planned to make them at home so that everything In them was allowed. I don't plan on eating anything I'm not allowed too.

I just had my surgery on January 22nd and everyone really was great! Loved the care I was given, just couldn't sleep haha

Did you guys eat them when you were in soft foods?

Haven't started yet. Tomorrow is my first day in puréed/blended

Personally I am starting with a scrambled egg and I think blended chicken salad for lunch. I found a recipe that replaces the mayo with Greek yogurt. And blended chili for dinner. The other things on my list I could choice from we're low sugar yogurts, sugar free pudding, blended meats, tuna salad, egg salad, cream of wheat, rice, or oatmeal.

I will be one week tomorrow and I get to start blended/puréed food.

So I had surgery on Tuesday ( 22nd) and this morning I started to experience a burning ripping sensation around upper abdominal. This is normal right?

I'm going to try and weight myself every Tuesday ( my surgery was jan 22- a Tuesday). I did however just get on the scale. I was 254 on Tuesday and now I'm 250.

I had surgery on Tuesday ( January 22)! Everything went well. They kept me overnight because I was throwing up and had a slight fever but the doctor just came in and said I can be discharged today!!! I'm also excited to say that my pre op weight loss went from 280 ( in November 2012) to 254 ( Tuesday)!!! I was so proud of myself and I am so excited to say that I am finally post op and on the losing end now!

I'm about to have gastric bypass on Tuesday ( January 22) and I'm wondering how everyone's relationships with there husbands/wife's or significant others changed after surgery or if it stayed the same.

Tomorrow is my surgery!

I don't know my surgery time yet. They are suppose to be calling between 4-6 tonight with my surgery time!

I am having surgery done at st. Luke's on January 22. Which doctor did you have. I have el chaar

I am having surgery on January 22 and I have a 20 month old son that weighs over 30 pounds. As far as I know my post op paperwork says nothing over 5 pounds for a week. I hope I only have this restriction for a week because how am I suppose to not pick up my son for a week!

I live in the Lehigh valley and my husbands family lives in Chester county! I'm having gastric bypass on jan 22!!!!

Today is day one of the pre op total liquid diet. Surgery is jan 22 and doctor wants me to lose 5-6 more pounds

Lehigh valley hospital has about a 600 dollar program fee and st. Luke's didn't have a fee. The reason st.lukes doesn't have one Is because they don't bill for your visits with the nut and social worker and stuff. I believe that Lehigh valley doesn't bill either but they still get there money from the program fee. I'm really happy with st. Luke's. another thing about st. Luke's is that doctor el chaar and doctor Claros did there fellowship in bariatric surgery and that's all they do. There rate of complications is very very low and they are very good at what they do

I went to a informational night the end of October. Went to see doctor in November. Went through the psych eval, nutritionist appointment, blood work. In December got my cardio clearance. A day after that got my approval. Went to support group two days later. Surgery date is January 22. Just had my EGD done today. Tomorrow is my pre op class and Friday is my last appointment with doctor than I'm done till surgery!

I had a sleep study done About a year ago and turns out I have obstructive sleep apnea that's pretty severe. I stop breathing 115 times an hour. I've tried using my CPAP but other than the first night I wore it ( for my second sleep study) I can't sleep with it and just have gotten to the point were I don't use it. I am having surgery on January 22 and I am hoping they don't require me to wear it ( I know I have to bring it just in case). I can't wait to lose weight and hopefully get rid of my sleep apnea for good!!
