This morning I had a swallow study @ 8:00 a.m. to make sure there is no leaking inside my new stomach.

The radiologist cleared me to go home so after Dr, Johnston checked the x-ray he came to my room and explain the 1st week consist of clear liquids for 7 days.I got back for my post-op visit on September 7th so he can explain the 2nd-week menu.🤸🏿‍♀️🤸🏿‍♀️🤸🏿‍♀️🤸🏿💝😍😜😻😻😻

@chemica Melissa Campbell Thank you, Thank you Thank you !!!! Baby Girl you are on your way. i wanted the gastric bypass as well, but do to the amount of scar tissue from my previous C-section didn't allow it.My husband o.ked it while I was under anesthesia so when I came to he told me first thing. Don't worry you will lose the weight you want.At the time I made that decision I was 275 and the day of surgery I was 255lbs. That 20 lbs made a big difference and if I do everything I'm told to do I will have no problem getting to my goal of 135lbs.

wow so that means if every

thing goes true for me to do my surgery date is sep 20 which am down to 223 already

Good luck to you!

@MOcatmom Thank You for the words of encouragement. when I feel hungry my go to is small grape tomatoes, baby carrots, and the short cucumbers .They are so much more crispy than the large long regular cucumbers .also mixing strawberry protein powder in organic oatmeal with silk 0 fat unsweetened coconut and almond milk. It's a struggle but today I feel a lot better on day #3

@Mimi of 7 The girls are absolutely correct. Today I feel 100% better by just figuring out what works for you on a limited diet.The GNC hot representative gave me Pro Performance AMP Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60 Strawberry powder and love it .I mix a few ahead of time and freeze them so when I take with me they are slushy. He recommended I use it post op as well to help tighten up any loose skin If I have any. He also said that is is delicious in the blender with fruit and kale, spinach

Don't load up on a ton of protein powders, because postop your tastes may change. Glad you are doing better!

here are some kleenex tissues

go ahead, have a good cry.

having WLS is terrific - good luck
