I was 2 weeks post op yesterday and am a total of 24 lbs down! 8 lb loss before the surgery the rest after :-) I am ready to be in the next food phase as I am super bored with liquids. I see the surgeon tomorrow for my first post op. Visit. And the nut, so hopefully I can begin soft foods. I'm excited for eggs! I also can't wait to really begin to exercise, just doing as much walking as I can right now. Still a little sore in places but excited for when I can kick it into high gear and really get on the weight loss train!

May 11th here! I would like to join the may group too :-)

Thank you! Good luck on your journey as well!

Just heard from my surgeons office got my insurance approval!!!!! All set to get my surgery on may 11th. Except that I got a stupid cold :-( it better go away in the next week!! I do not wanna have to reschedule!

Having my bypass on May 11th! Anyone else have the same date or close to that? I'm super anxious, excited and a bit nervous....never had surgery before!

You will just have to crush them then. That's what I will have to do too.

I know that after surgery I have to crush or take all of my pills in liquid form. Not Sure if you mean after or before. But as far as what to take I don't know yet either. I'm assuming I will get a list of stuff before surgery that I will need as far as vitamins.

I'm not having the sleeve but I'm having bypass on may 11th!

I had my surgical consult today and my surgery is booked for May 11th! first surgery of the day! They will be doing it with the Divinci robot :-) pretty cool! any other people in May out there?

Thank you!

I am so excited, just booked my surgical consult date :-) it's getting so close now. I don't know what emotions to feel....nervous and excited all at the same time. I go to meet my surgeon on April 1st. Then I just have to wait for insurance approval. And from there book my date :-)

Bellabloom I am a 240 start weight with no weight to lose before hand as well! I am almost through my program and waiting on one more apt before I can book my surgery date :-) nice to your pictures you look great!

That's awesome! Well congrats! How are you feeling? How are you doing with the post-op food phase?

Thank you :-) good to know nothing is off limits! Have you had your surgery already?

Hello everyone, I am new here and just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a 26 year old female from NH. I am 5'4 and my current weight is 241. I am going to be getting the gastric bypass. I have no co-morbidities so I am moving through the program rather quickly I start my 6 week lifestyle changes class that is required on Thursday. The only things I have left to do before setting a surgery date are a psych eval. And one more pre-op support group. Then I get to meet with the surgeon and set a date! I am beyond excited but a bit nervous all at once. I do have support from family and friends. I am so ready to start a better healthier life for me and my family. Thanks for reading. I love reading all the stories on here :-) feel free to chat!
