Hmm.. that's good to know.. I'll just keep avoiding it. I don't like beer or wine.. I only drink shots of liquor to get drunk. But I don't miss it, so I'll just wait.. thank you for the information.

By the way, I'm only 2.4 pounds away from JUST being over weight!!! No more being obese for me!!! Yey!!

Just a little...not at all what I was expecting. It was only one glass but I thought I would get a buzz from that.

How are you all doing? I still feel low in energy on stressful days. Anyone doing physical labor for a living? Or being up on the feet quite a bit during the workday?

Today we did an angioplasty with thrombectomy that lasted about 2.5 h - wore full gear with the heavy x-ray protection coat and all of course. I felt like "I need to drink, then I need to eat and then I need to sit down for half an hour".

Blah.

Have you gotten your labs done? I just did my three month work up and I'm so low on Iron I need infusions done...my hematologist says I'm probably experiencing so many bad symptoms Bcuz of this he said ppl really have no clue how severe anemia can affect you...I hope this subsides for you

I work physical labor. I'm on my feet 8-10 hours a day, 5 days a week. I am expected to lift up to 75 pounds or I am considered unable to fulfill my regular duties. With that being said, I feel fantastic! I'm finally JUST overweight. I'm not obese anymore. My BMI is 29.8.. My health is good. My doctor isn't too worried about me anymore like when I was dehydrated.

On a very good note, I am finally confident enough to go on a date. We are going on our first date this Sunday. Wish me luck!!

@@yescres07 My last labs were good. My next follow-up appointment is in October. Maybe I'm just in need of a vacation. (only one working day until vacation, yay!)

@@LoveMyBypass Maybe it's me being dehydrated. Sometimes you sweat like a pig beneath all that gear.

I'm doing great.....down 50lbs since surgery..... could be more if I would excersise but, honestly I was ok with it slowing down just a little.

Bought a size 6 pair of shorts the other day and I was almost giddy walking through the store.

I've started going out more and feel great!!!!

I'm soooooooo happy I chose to have gastric bypass, I feel like I'm really living again.

I admit, I worry how I will do a year out, 5 years out and so on..... I will have to get an excersise routine in place.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
