All of you December buddies that have had surgery. I wish luck on your recovery. May you heal without major setbacks, actually without any setbacks is even better. Good luck for every one that is having surgery this week. I'm on the 15th so very last/end of the week. Am nervous n excited. I am 40yo, whose divorce will finalize in March after 22yrs of marriage. (He has a gf that destroyed my marriage). Can't wait to get this new life started with just me n my daughters.

Anyone scared to eat? I am scared to go full liquids bc I so badly want to lose weight. I afraid that if I have some Soup or sugar free pudding I won't lose weight. I guess partly bc I haven't lost anything yet. Today is day 4 post op and I've only had Water and Protein Drink.

I know what you mean about being scared to eat. Not because of weight gain, but because it kinda hurts. I had a little bit of cream of chicken soup today and I was miserable for a couple of hours. I think it had too much fat in it. I tried about 3 oz of Protein drink, that went ok. You will lose, you are probably still swollen from surgery.

Hi everyone. First post on this site every. I'm having gastric bypass 18th Dec. I survived eight years with band, lost seventy kilos. Had it out in september and have gained 25kgs in 10 weeks. Still experiencing issues with pain from adhesions, hence the bypass. Wht has everyone found the hardest thing post op? I had major pain with gas pain in previous surgeries, but no site pain. Is there much stomach pain after the ry bypass by your experiences?

Hehe scooting over.

Hi there! I was banded for 12 years. I just had my surgery last Tuesday, but they took out my band and did my bypass all in the same surgery. My biggest pain site is where they removed my port from the band. I have had gas pains but nothing terrible. I'm only 5 days post op and I can tell you already that the bypass is so much better than the band! Good luck!

Thanks Lisa. I had too much damage so I asked for the op to be split into two. Getting the band out and then having the bypass. I so hope this is the better way, I was throwing up blood for weeks before the surgery, and throwing up in my sleep just didn't appeal to my husband any longer,

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
