That is amazing maria. I definatley will keep you in the loop so you know what to expect, and you can ask me anything. Im starting my preop diet tomorrow, not looking forward to it.

Hi, my gastric bypass surgery is scheduled on July 28th, just 8 days after you. I am feeling the same as you.

I am starting my pre-op diet Wed., fun fun! Shall be interesting how the two weeks go. Got my Decaf coffee and Keurig ready, Vitamins, even bought a Brita Water filtration pitcher to ensure I keep hydrated. Even have all my Muscle Milk Light Concentrate Isolate Protein shake mix and quick Premier Protein Drink bottles, broth, Jello, etc. Are you ready?

Yes actually I bought baby spoons and a baby plate that has 3 different slots and I'm so happy I did the spoons help me keep to just a little taste of Jello. Because even when you are on that diet you still take big bites sometimes that helps you not do so

Yay! Found out my insurance company approved and cleared me for gastric bypass surgery this Thursday, July 28th. What a relief, whew! I have heard horror stories where people find out they were not approved by insurance company the day before or day of surgery. I have 4 more days, excited and nervous, but excited about the journey. How is everyone else doing?

I had my RNY bypass on the 21st. I feel great! Still a little gassy, but when it moves somewhere uncomfortable I move around then it moves and I'm back to ok. Luckily had some bowel movements on day two and that helped a lot!

That's great Harsha! I remember having horrible gas pains after my hysterectomy. After you have a bowel movement it helps, and also the gas-x film that melts on your tongue helped. I actually picked some up today in preparation. How is going with energy and food?

      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.
