Hey everybody. I'm 12 weeks post op. My surgery was January 13 and I have lost 69 pounds since then. I have a check up tomorrow so I'll dibs out how much I've lost. I feel like I've been doing well with walking and working out. But right now I feel like my cravings are coming back. I can only eat 3oz of food right now. And my stomach can't handle more cause I get sick. I've been keeping up with my protien intake and water. But I am craving crunchy in my life! I want crackers or chips or something. Any suggestions. I heard something about kale chips. I'm do worried because the last thing I want to do its go back to being over 500lbs. Btw on the day I had surgery I was 542lbs. Last doctor's appointment I was 473. So I'll let you know how tomorrow goes. Anyways. Help a sister out.

The nerves are killing me!!! I'm the type of person who gets sick to my stomach when I'm nervous, at this point my breathing is shallow, I'm having minor panic attacks every time I'm reminded of it. I'm ready to do this. This is a dream comin true. In my life I've always felt like "man I never win anything. Nothing ever goes my way". Well this is me winning. And this is things going God's way...I am truly blessed and thankful.

I'm having surgery in exactly Five days, two hrs, 34 mins and 25 seconds as I am typing this. I am very nervous. I'm also nervous about my last supper thoughts. I want sushi. Lol. Ugh the cravings are killing me. Somebody help me. ...

Glad all went well doll! I was so thirsty also I remember crying fOr water. But once it came they couldn't get me to drink it

It's never to late to start yOur life:-)

it gets better once you get put to sleep. Lol! And harder after you wake up

They dryness of my skin. I just don't know if it's the weather. I live in Indiana and it's very cold right now. But my skins never been this bad. Anyone going through this right now?

hey Hanna. Ngawa here. Almost 23. Had the roux en y procedure done January 13 of this yr

How did it go

You look freaking amazing

Hello ppl. I'm 22. Soon to be 23. And I'll be having Roux En Y surgery next Tuesday on January 13, 2015. When I first was represented with the opportunity to have bariatric surgery, I was opposed to it. I felt like "oh plz I'm young, I have time. I'll be ok. I have room for mistakes." So then I gained and gained and gained. Didn't even bother checking on my health because i was embarassed because i didn't want my doctor to keep shaking get head at my Bill of health. By the time I joined the weight loss program at St. Vincent Hospital back in April of 2014, I was almost 600lbs. And in denial. But after talking to the team I'd see weekly, I started taking things more seriously. I was blessed with opportunity to have surgery and i took it and ran with it honey. I feel safe there. And it's a judgment free zone. So I want to know how my fellow twenty something year old pre-op and post-op bariatric patient felt initially before making such a HUGE decision.

it's different floor everybody. I am five weeks postoperative and I have lost 37 lbs since surgery

Noblesville Indiana with Dr. Inman at St. Vincent in Carmel, Indiana, January 13

Ppl in Indianapolis and surrounding areas I say we start a newbie surgery patient cooking class once a month. That way, we make new friends and get healthy together. Maybe we can even work out together

lol I've become the same way. I am constantly checking for signs of an infection. Making sure I'm not losing my mind

omg. I so agree! !!!! It hurt like hell. I had anxiety every single time I had to look at it

I'm almost three weeks out. It was a rough start for me in the beginning. Had an infection in 1 of my incision so I ended up going back to the emergency room a day after I was discharged. But now I am okay getting around fine. I can walk I can do regular things. It still hurts to bend over, or sneeze, and lie on my side. Hurts terribly. But it's all muscle pain. I'm hoping it's not serious

So I am 2 weeks in 3 days out, and I'm still experiencing muscle pain on one side of my stomach. It's kind of like a pinching pain inside. Now done of you know that I had an infection shortly after surgery in one of my incisions. It wasn't a deep wound and it's almost completely healed and I'm almost done with my antibiotics. No pain it anything there. But on my right side of my stomach hurts when I'm in the process of standing up. Or like if I lie down it's a pain trying sit up cause the side hurts. Somebody plz tell me this is normal. I mean I'm walking I'm getting around the house fine I walk upstairs fine. Is this normal. Anybody else experience this?

Hey doll! I am 22 here. Currently residing in Indiana. Welcome! I'm kind of new Here also. Just had surgery January 13. So I'm pretty fresh off the boat. This is truly a life changing journey and it can be a positive journey if you follow the doctors orders. You'll get to meet some pretty amazing ppl and your eyes will open to many things you never thought before. You will have your ups and downs. But hopefully more ups. I just had my down today when I went through a terrible two hr dumping syndrome session. But afterwards you feel better and you learn lessons. I'm two weeks and three days out and I've already lost 27 pounds. This can be a blessing if you remain strong

hey I'm doing much better. Just a little pain here and there. Thanks for asking. :-D

Welcome! Praying for a speedy recovery

How long ago was your surgery

Yay! !!! Congratulations

Congratulations! You look incredibly awesomely beautiful

Hey y'all. I'm back! I'm feeling so much better. Thank you so much for the well wishes and prayers. I really appreciate it. My infectious wound is healing fast. It's no longer even painful. I was discharged from the hospital on Tuesday. And ever since I got home I have not taken the strong pain meds. Only Tylenol here and there I couldn't stand feeling weak from the oxycodon and valium. So I dropped that real quick when I gOt home. I'm starting to eat. I was having serious trouble eating. And getting my protein in. My body has rejected eggs, chicken, and fish. Lol ugh. And I so don't even want to touch any type of red meat ever.
