Whats Next

Ooh- that’s next week for me, can’t wait. Love both.

Love it. I can’t wait for this in future.

I’m five days out and I want food. Ricotta is allowed mid Stage 2 week, cottage cheese end of week. I just enjoyed those and I can’t have them again until mid and late next week 😢. Tasted so good. Hubby is cooking for himself and things smell good, it’s pleasant. I did sniff the potato salad bowl (want) and made puppy dog eyes at it. Mashed taters would be heaven. Only one more week on this…we can do it!

What a feeling, it’s done! Yay!

The surgeon said I could have patch if needed, the messaging from nurse and doctor was a bit contradictory regarding age and issues with older people using patch. I got a scrip, didn’t use. I’ve had distress and took an anti nausea med provided. Much better today, 5 days out.

Good luck! Only one day liquid for me and it wasn’t hard. I’m worried how my new tiny tummy will take that first sip and subsequent ones, I’m not on a preop nausea patch due to age. I guess I’ll wait and see instead of worrying. Nah, I’ll worry -lol

Mine is tomorrow too! Good luck to us! I have baby fine hair so losing more will be upsetting. I know they say it’s temporary but it has to regrow and mines not short.

Today is my one day liquids diet. I fear nausea too but who knows, I’m sure I’ll get through it. I’m looking forward to the smaller clothes for sure !

My surgery is coming fast, it was moved up via a cancellation to next week, eek! I’m a combo of fear of the unknown, and calmness of giving it up to the professionals to care for me. I’m over 60 and really never considered I could stop the diet cycle by having WLS. A family member had it, and was happy they did it, this and knowing a few WLS veterans happy with their surgery, spurred me on to do gastric bypass. They had a good recovery with no issues. I’m hoping for a great outcome and that it resolves my Gerd and sleep apnea in time as well. I fear pain, hair loss, complications, how I’ll feel about all that skin, regrets. I look forward to many positive body changes, more energy, onederland, not being obese, cuter clothes 😀 I appreciate everyone sharing here! I’ve learned a lot.
