I'm 6 days away from surgery & scared as heck!
RGraham87 replied to girl4god77's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think I was at my worst the day of surgery. I started crying in the waiting room because no one went with me to support me and it was kinda scary. I kept saying to myself that I'm going to get skinny and be happy and there is nothing anyone can do to stop me. I had to talk to my doctor about a anxiety medication after surgery. I am good now -

Just go look at yourself in the mirror. Remember your taking control and ready to lose this weight Forever! No messing up. Stock up on a gas-x, broth, Splenda, decaf coffee, and jello. Hey very attention to your bowel movement. If you don't go call your doctors office. I didn't go for seven days and I ended up getting bowel obstruction. I prefer to tell you now instead of you finding out the hard way. As for juice, i drink strawberry banana v8 LIGHT. 50 calories. It was to sweet at first. I had to water it down. My taste buds changed after surgery. I'm 7 month post op. I had the RNY. I'm down 100lbs. good luck! -
No soda ever again. Unless it's flat. The carbonation can stretch your stomach back out and it's painful I hear. Which would totally suck for everything you went through to get the surgery. I have a new favorite drink.. At least post op drink. It's the v8 light- strawberry banana. I'm 7 months post op and down 100lbs! I feel great :-)

It might depend on what you eat. I can eat a little amounts of things. I try eating anything fried and I get sick. Anything high in sugar will make me dump. I can't drink anything with over 15 g of sugar. I buy the V8 strawberry banana light juice and dilute it with water. It's great! I know Splenda is not good for you but I use that most of my foods instead of sugar. At least until I discover something better It might depend on what you eat. I can eat a little amounts of things.

Stay strong! Your going to loss weight, look and feel amazing! Then your husband is going to be so jealous! He doesn't deserve you of he hurts you. I hope you have other family to help. See a counselor to conquer your depression. I had to see one. It works. Stay strong gorgeous! -

Looking for Bypass buddies in NY

I'm near Binghamton NY -
It's important to be strong. You'll never be about to have anything carbonated like soda. Just follow your instructions of the pre-surgery diet. My taste buds actually changed after surgery. Sugar, pasta, and bread made me sick. Plus my favorite steak isn't my favorite anymore.

I told my dietitian about having food funerals... She flipped on me. I kept doing it but I always used position control. No more then a cup

Oh my life I've taken ibuprofen. I am eight weeks postop after having the gastric bypass's. I have Tylenol because I know I can't have ibuprofen. I have a collection of ibuprofen that doesn't expire until 2018. Well I ever be able to take ibuprofen again.

Bariatric pal store ratings
RGraham87 replied to RGraham87's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got the the macaroni and steak, a few chocolate items like The cookie and cream, I did get the quest spaghetti and I'm hoping it's going to taste normal-ish. I got the jerky. I also got the double chocolate cake. I figured if I have chocolate cravings I should have something good to fix them. I had to get more Barimelts. -
I hear you! It gets old. I have 5 boxes of jello I will never touch. I am in the soft food phase.

I'm 6 weeks post op. I was told never drink while eating. Is this forever? I just had my first 3 slices of sharp cheese. Now I was a drink. I don't want to wait 45 mins to an hour
