Hello, all. I've been a lurker for months, just now registering.

I had gastric bypass surgery on Dec. 27. I'm on full liquids now, and I'll start puréed meat on Jan. 2 I haven't lost any weight yet, in fact I show a 3 lb gain, but I'm sure that's still IV fluids and bloating from the hospital. My first dr appt is 4 weeks after the surgery, so I should probably wait and see what the scales say at that time.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Hi! I'm new to this group also. I haven't had surgery yet but hopefully by march everything will be finished with insurance approval etc. How are you feeling?

Hi Melynie, I'm okay, just very sore... More than I expected. Luckily, I haven't had any nausea or queasiness. I haven't had any problem with eating or drinking anything. Right now, my stomach is very sore and a lot of it is gas, which is AWFUL. I feel like something is stabbing me in the back and shoulders! I think I will be at a turning point when this goes away.

Welcome, I wish you luck on your journey. I've haven't had my surgery yet either... mine hopefully will be in the beginning of April... I have to get through all the classes and stuff for the insurance company. But I'm really looking forward to it.

Welcome. Take it one moment at a time. There will be times you will be afraid but it will all work out and you will lose the weight.
