I just got scheduled for my surgery March 25, 2021! I am so excited and so scared all at the same time! It is crazy how I feel. I keep looking at posts for inspiration and motivation to keep going. Reminding myself, wow that could be me in a few months! Anyone else feeling like this and scheduled for Gastric Bypass this month?

@jnfinney how are you feeling now? Any better? I keep getting dizzy and headaches but they come and go. My doctor has me on an 800 cal diet and allows 2 protein shakes in the day, a cup of fruits or vegetables in the day and the 3oz chicken, 1 serving of a whole grain and 1 cup of vegetables for dinner.

I am scheduled for bypass 3/25

My surgery is march 25 2021, i hadnt even thought of gas pain! Thank you for all the advice, I am adding chewable gasx to my shopping list. I am going today to stock up so I can quarantine from here on out. So excited and scared all at once!

Exactly what I have been thinking this whole time I am reading through posts. I realized I need to do before pictures.

Wow! You are so motivating! Keep kicking ass!

You are awesome!! 95lbs in 6 months Yesss Queen!!

Girl! You are so awesome! You really motovate me, I hope more people post progress photos like this! My surgery is on 3/25/21 I really hope to see these kind of results! Keep kicking Ass!

Just saw my surgeon for my preop appointment, scheduled for Madch 25th! 🥴 feeling scared, happy, excited, scared, nervous, scared! Lol!

It is so good to know other people are feeling the same way. Everyone in my family keeps asking me "How do you feel?" I get asked so much I wish I hadnt told anyone lol.

I started my preop diet last week. It is for 4 weeks, a protein shake in the am and I can have a cup of fruit or veggies, then lunch is the same protein shake and a cup of veggies or fruit. Dinner 3 oz lean white meat, a cup of veggies and a serving of whole grains. I can also have a snack of low fat cheese anywhere in there. The hardest part I have is the protein shakes. But I am just forcing myself. I have lost 5lbs in this week so it definitely motivated me to stay on the diet. But man does my head hurt and energy is low. I tend to choose to eat veggies rather than fruits because of the calorie count. The diet is meant to be 800-1200 calories per day. I have sat at 950 to 1100 calories pretty much the whole week. But I have set a goal of 800 to 900 for this week for myself. Surgery is in 22 days and I am excited and scared all at once. I am so glad I found this sight because it really helps to remind myself that I am not alone!#wegotthis
