A Freaking Men!!!! I totally agree!!!

Verna, you should call you doctor, specially with the cough, you don't want to come down with pneumonia. They say it's typical to only drop very little after surgery, you could even gain weight. Your only a week post op, and you have to remember your body is not accustom to that foreign object in your body, so it is going to take a little bit to get used to it. You are eating normal foods already or are you just on liquids? It's ok to put yucky messages up, that is what this site is for putting up good and yucky messages so we can help everyone out. It's good to ask. It means you are truly interested in this working!!! Good luck!!!

jtickle, that is awesome, my boyfriend is also very supportive and working it along with me. It is awesome to have someone who will support you like that. My boyfriend has already helped me in so many ways and I haven't had my surgery yet. He doesn't even have but maybe 30 lbs to loose I love him the way he is but he has developed a little bubble gut and he isn't happy with himself, so I support him the way he supports me, and I may have much more and longer to go than him but I know that he has my back the whole way through, which feels amazing!!! Good for you, and just keep that communication open and you guys will do awesome!!!

Ugh, reinangel, I am so sorry to hear that, cause I love eggs, and I really hope that I don't have that issue!!! Well I hope you get past that. Thanks for letting me know about the dairy though!!!

Yeah I hear you there, I am glad that mine will be laproscopic!!!

Megan, I did not know it takes that long for your body to intake the Vitamins like that? I know after my lapband surgery I used the oil and rubbed it on and it seemed to help ok with my scars, and I am going to continue to do that after my bypass surgery, Thanks for that info, as I would never have guessed that!!!

Meintraining, I would say rub it on, it goes right into the skin!!! I used it when I had the lapband, and it's oily but its better than having scars????

Good to know Mrs. Harkness, I really hope that I don't, I love milk, and cottage cheese!!!

anytime!!!

Thanks Megan, I defiantly will let you know!!!

My surgery is the 19th of this month. I am super excited, just wish the days would go by a little faster, cause right now it seems like each day goes by so slow??? I am ready!!! I am so ready I am beyond ready!!! LOL,

Kaitlin, I have BCBS, not federal but thats my ins. co and I know it says 35 BMI and up but for 2 years or more? Really? Hey no problem we are all going through the same steps and journey you are, and it can get stressful and redundant at sometimes, but just hang in there, its all worth it!!!

Yes it is temporary if you don't eat right? I don't foresee you eating at a fast food restaurant everyday 3 times a day once you have the surgery done. I love the wraps and I love the greens, and knowing what we are going to be going through with eating I plan to use the greens to get in my Vitamins from them. The greens with 8 oz of Water or orange juice is your full day of vegetables in one glass? I know with bypass you lose a lot of Vitamin intake because of the bypass, and so by drinking that I am in hopes that I won't have to take as many pill form vitamins. So it's just a suggestion??? I love it works, and I am integrating it as much as I can during my journey!!!

Good to know Kata!!! Thanks

If you don't try, you won't know, so I guess that is one way of learning specially if you were told it would be ok??? I know I am going to stick to egg's, cottage cheese, yogurt, and stuff like that for atleast 2 months after my surgery, I don't want to feel yucky!!! But I suppose if your scared to try new things too you won't ever lead a normal life after surgery. So eventually I will start trying. I am most concerned with the whole dairy thing? I hear alot of people don't take dairy very well after bypass? I would love to hear your experiences with diary?

Yes, I'm just starting out! I sure wish I had a date! I just started Weight Watchers yesterday as part of my medically-supervised weight loss. I had a meltdown yesterday because I'm worried I haven't been "morbidly obese" for the 2 years required by my insurance. I need to review my files with my GP, I guess. Anyway, if everything goes according to the plan in my head, I'd like to be having surgery in July or August. We'll see! Urban*decay who do you have for insurance that they require you to be morbidly obese for 2 years? I have never heard of that? Of course I have been that way since I was young, so I guess that wouldn't be a concern of mine? Well don't get too stressed out, just run with it, and tell your doctor everything your going through and feeling. It can be a crazy road your going down don't let them get to you. I have gone down this road twice now, and it can be no fun, but you can do this!!! Just have faith in yourself, and everything will go great!!!

Cupcake don't get bummed, when is your next date you meet with the surgeon and sign paperwork and all that? Believe me I know you just want to get it done and get post op, but it will come, and your going to do great. I tell my boyfriend all the time have faith in yourself!!! Everyone needs to have faith in their selves so that is the motivation I live by everyday!!! You will get there. I also will not have a drain, as my doctor does the same thing, he feels that having a drain can just cause a leak, so I am happy about that. I have 12 more days to my surgery!!! I am and have been so anxious. I will be so relaxed after it's over. I have started my preop liquid diet and I am starving so I am drinking Water like it's a drug, cause I am trying to forget how hungary I am???? LOL doesn't work so good????

Vitamin E oil is a great way to prevent scars. I am also a distributor for it works global, and they have a cream for stretchmarks that I am going to invest in too to help diminish those too, if your interested in any of my products my website is www.tightenwithtinapolley.myitworks.com, email me if you have any questions or want help with anything. I am going to use these products through out my journey, they have body wraps that I am going to tighten and tone my skin while losing the weight!!! Well Good luck!!!

Thanks Sophianstuffin, I can't wait I am really excited to get post op I want this part over!!! Congrats on your surgery, Tuna fish, I love tuna fish!!! Good luck with your weight loss, I hope you the best!!!

Thanks Urban*decay, I am really excited!!! I see you don't have your date yet?? Are you just starting this process??? Well good luck!!!

Congrats on the loss!!! That's great!!! My surgery is the 19th of this month only 2 weeks away!!! I'm super excited!!!!

Hi cupcake, I'm glad my post helped!!!! So your have your preop before even knowing your date? That's weird??? Well I hope it goes well for you and you too keep posting!! I know I will.

Terry, I love the idea, and it sounds amazing please post when you have it done!!! I really like the bottom tree, I like the black and white in that one, the color one looks a little cheezy? I have an aquatic theme as a half sleeve, I love it and I love tattoos but I am holding off on any more till I am down to my goal weight as I am worried about my arm now cause if I get saggy skin it's going to ruin my tattoo!!! The next piece is a huge bottom back piece, and I won't do it till I am down in the weight department even though I am dying for one now??? So good luck with this one!!! Would love to see it!!!

Hi Megan Instead of coconut butter get some Vitamin e oil!!! I had lap band back in 2010 and I used vitamin e oil and that works better!!!

Congrats on hitting your goall, that is awesome!!! You hit your goal and I am just getting ready to start my journey!!! Congrats, do something special for yourself!!!!
