RNY on June 27th, terrible left side pain and was also sent home with a drain which is gross. Can’t really get comfortable in any position. My daughters went to a grad party today that was catered by olive garden, the host sent them home with 25 breadsticks, a large pan of fettuccine alfredo and a dish of marinara sauce. How sad is it that I was heartbroken, I wanted that food more than the surgery I was just blessed to have. This is going to be a wild journey.

This is probably a dumb question but here goes. So WLS makes you feel uncomfortably full so you don’t overeat. My fear is, I overeat like crazy now, being full or not has nothing to do with it. I am having surgery next week. What if it doesn’t work for me because I still eat now when I feel terribly full?

I wouldn’t throw in the towel just yet, your system needs to adjust, 10 days is not very long.

Was the dumping really, really bad like they say? [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

He sounds like a tiny little skin flint of a dude - bad attitude as well! Maybe he is just afraid at how BRIGHT you are going to SHINE! 🤩🤩🤩

I’m June 27th!!! Hello friends!!!

I think you look amazing, if I saw you on the street I wouldn’t think omg that girl is anorexic, I would think, wow what a pretty and very FIT woman [emoji1360]

Hi all, I am having gastric bypass on June 27th (YAY!!!). Friends asked us to a Keith Urban concert on July 8th. The venue is a 30 minute drive from our house. We’d be getting “lawn seats” so basically sitting on blankets watching the sunset and listening to good music... Do you think this is do-able, 10 days post op? Thanks for your input [emoji175]

LOL that made me laugh and you are so right

I am 53 years old, no tattoos yet but I am considering getting one as part of this journey. I am thinking of the symbol for new beginnings. I’ll add it to my comment if I can figure out how to do it lol

I will be getting bypass surgery in 3 weeks. I am SO SICK OF SWEATING as in soaking wet with sweat daily. Has anyone noticed being less sweaty after dropping some weight?

Thanks everyone - great advice across the board!!

Hi everyone, I was cleared by the nutritionist last week and waiting for a date. I am getting really worried and confused right now - we have 5 children ages 10-19. Two of them have a mood disorder and are troubled. My husband and I both work full time stressful jobs. I know HOW I got to be obese - I am worried that even after surgery- with all the drama that I cant handle that will still be in my life, am I going to be able to focus on ME, planning meals etc.. thoughts? Just extra overwhelmed these last few weeks.

Beautiful! How are you feeling? How long did it take for you to be up and around after surgery to feel good?
