  6. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Update us when you can!
  7. You’re welcome! And yeah, I tend to see how my pouch reacts to what I am consuming. Post op, I don’t think it cares for yogurt anymore, makes me gassy. I stick to protein and broth. I bought very tiny serving size bowls I found in a dollar store, lol. So ready! And congrats on sleeping in your bed. I think last night was the first night since I got home that I didn’t sleep propped up on a pillow. Shocked myself! Happy healing!
  8. Hi! Welcome! And wishing you the best and praying your speedy recovery. Sometimes you don’t get nerves, sometimes it’s just excitement. I will be 2 weeks post op on Thursday and I didn’t experience nerves at all. Everyone is different. Almost at the finish line, good luck! And keep us posted about your journey 😊

    Hey guys I’m new here

    I had my consultation October of last year and officially started my journey November of last year. I did 7 months of nutrition, an upper endoscopy, a sleep study, cardiology testing, an abdominal ultrasound, labs, and a psych evaluation. My paper work (for the bypass) was submitted in May and I got my surgery date of 6/28/2018 less than a week later. I am 12 days post op and happy about my decision. I wish you all of the best on your journey! Almost there 😉

    Regrets???

    This topic is old but I still want to weigh in. The only day I felt regret was the day after I had my surgery. But that was only because the nurse refused me my pain meds and I was in excruciating pain and felt like I was going to explode. After I got home, I was great. 12 days post op and I am feeling amazing and have ZERO regrets

    Talk to me! I'm new :)

    My sleeve in 2 weeks will be my first surgery as well. My fear is of being put under. But it's gonna be so worth it! Congrats and I wish you all of the best! Being put under isn’t bad. Surgery day I was in the OR laughing and having a jolly time with the nurses and then I hear “it’s time to wake up” never knew I was put under, didn’t know anything had happened to me at all until I shifted and felt soreness and then looked in my gown and saw bandages. You will be fine 😉

    When I had my bypass on June 28th it was the very first surgery I had ever had in life. Indeed a big deal! But you will get through it. You’ve got this! Congrats!
  13. Welcome and congrats! I’m sure once Emily does her read through of the the thread she will add you to the list 😊
  14. I can’t start purées until Saturday. Had to do two weeks of liquids 😭 happy about your progress! Congrats!
  15. I completely understand! I knew I was in a lot of pain but didn’t realize how much until post op. I just have more stamina and it makes me so happy! Best of luck and I’m sure you will feel amazing in no time!
  16. And thank you! I feel amazing honestly. I can walk around without being winded or feeling back pains. It’s great!
  17. Sleep study was quite the experience. I was just glad they didn’t have to wake me up to put a bipap or cpap on me. Good luck tonight!
  18. You had your surgery a day before mine. Glad you are doing well 😊
  19. I’ve been doing pretty good since discharge. My hospital stay was less than desirable but once I got home everything is great. I still have slight soreness around my incisions but nothing I can’t handle. I get in 60g of protein a day and about 23-40oz of water. I start purées on Saturday, excited about that for some reason, lol. The scale is barely moving but my clothes are fitting looser so I’m not worried about the scale
