Honestly, even if I hang at 3 pounds a week, I'll be thrilled....that would put me at goal in 7 months! But it would be AWESOME to throw in a couple huge weeks just for grins and giggles!!! So instead of graphic sex dreams, you're having graphic food dreams. Funny, yet disturbing how our minds work!!!!!

Well crap. First post-op weigh-in. Kinda expected to be impressed given the numbers I've heard from some of you guys...3 pounds, in a week. Bleh! I know I ate virtually nothing last week, body in shock, etc but darnit, this was the 1 time I expecte to see something impressive!!! Off to start the Protein this week and bump that number up!

Prayers said, fingers crossed!! Update when you can! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 240

Oh wow that's quick!!! How exciting for you!!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 240

welcome Tiffany it's a huge, exciting, nerve wracking decision but just by making the decision you are so much closer to a healthier you!!!! My best advice, just start reading! There's tons and tons of info on here. From diet and exercise, to relationships. You name it, someone here has probably been through it!!! I'd probably start under the basics for gastric bypass for beginners. There's a zillions pre-op threads (this is one of them) where people who are thinking about getting the surgery or are in the process and waiting for surgery talk and a zillion post-op threads from those of us lucky enough to be on the flip side. Jump I'm anywhere. Most people around here are happy to offer suggestions, opinions, or a shoulder to cry on!!!! Any idea how long it will take you? Do you have the dreaded 6 months of weigh ins for your insurance??? HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 240

Those are from my dietician...just something different . I'm on purée/squishy now but I lived off Greek yogurt, Jello, hot Breakfast cereals, and SF pudding last week while I was on liquids. Good luck!!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 240

Pre-op or post op? HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 240

OMG it got ugly....I told my doc my gut always wakes up slow....I had a GI virus right before surgery, I was cleaned out totally...there is nothing brewing in there at all...give me til tomorrow, I will produce tomorrow....he wouldn't hear of it. 2 freaking suppositories, 2 enemas, and one extremely pissed off patient later....he finally conceded defeat. And guess what??? The next morning the toots started and by afternoon I was rolling! I was SO mad....mom said my nurse is scarred for life now :/ I felt no pain when I woke up. Later, after I was in a room and on a morphine pump I kept the pain under control while I was awake but if I fell asleep for a couple hours and couldn't hit the pump the pain got a bit rough, not terrible though. And getting up wasn't really a huge deal, much easier than when I had my lap band 3 years ago....course I'm 50 lbs less so that's gotta help!!!!! When you get up, put the back of the bed up as far as it will go so you're not trying to pull yourself up using your abs. In the past 36 hours I've had 1 Tylenol and spent many hours under my heating pad....it just feels GOOD on the tummy . I was sleeping on my side the first night post op and flat on my tummy the night I went home, I guess day 3....... Sip sip sip and walk walk walk!!!!!

There's several of us band to bypass folks lurking around . I unfortunately had to have an urgent band removal secondary to prolapse in August, he was going to revise to RNY but when I woke up from surgery mom had the horrible job of telling me I had to much damage and inflammation from my damn band to do the revision and I had to wait 6 months for my RNY....that sucked!!!! But I'll be a week post op tomorrow so it all works out!!!! Glad you joined our group!!!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 240

This is WAY up on my list of things I must have....once i can have them of course :/

Claim it sista!!! It's so nice to have others who are counting down and on then same timeframe as you!!! And yup,it'll be here before you know it!!!

Agreed

I have to show you guys this...although from pictures seen earlier today I have absolutely NO right to complain about anything!!! Heparin shots...those beasts are a bit zingy! My first bandages 'fell' off after a shower today. I have the drain site (which is bruised but tiny) then 3 other incisions still covered....this is the upper most incision, just under my breast bone, it is TINY, less than a centimeter an looks awesome!!! I know the other incisions are longer but holy smokes I'm impressed with how awesome this looks!!!

I had the patch through Thursday (it's good for 72 hours) amazingly the nausea started a few hours after patch removal! . I have zofran but don't wanna take it all the time, makes me sleepy, so I try to hold out...because I'm stupid like that. 2 hours after zofran and a nap the world is good again

Dear queasiness, please go away. That is all.

I'd have licked the fingers . Way to go!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 240
