Jacie63 20 Posted December 12, 2018 My bypass is today! I can't sleep, I'm so nervous. I'm rethinking things, if I could have done something different to get this weight off, but no matter what I try, my weight keeps going up. I was small in my early years, about 135. After I had my son, everything just went off track, I'm now almost 300lbs! This is my last chance to get healthy. Please pray for me guys, that I get thru this surgery. Thank you.

Frustr8 7,886 Posted December 12, 2018 Jacie, honey, I am So So happy for you. As someone who almost left it until too late , I congratulate you for doing it at a much younger age. Your son will be getting a new improved model Mommy, one that will have fun , play games with, and generally be fun to be around. Not saying you were all those things before but mobility does mean a lot. You'll now be the express train instead of the Huff and Puff model. And I want to be kept updated as time goes along because I do believe in the operation and its benefits. And mine has not been a textbook recovery, ask anyone who has followed me, but I find much to be upbeat and hopeful about, and I will not die soon from obesity, as once was predicted. I WILL MAKE IT AND DO A GREAT JOB DOING IT! This is my vow before God and all my Bariatric witnesses!😝🌺🎶🌸 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jacie63Congrats on taking control of your life!! It's not bad, I had the bypass on 12/3. I'm in the puree stage now and I find myself trying to be creative with food . Good luck to you, you will be fine.Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app 1 Jacie63 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My son and granddaughters are all skinny minies! The surgery went well, I'm just in a great deal of pain. Once I'm better, I'll post post-op info.

NIKKIBEVERLY 57 Posted December 13, 2018 Thank you Nikki! How long did it take for the pain to go away?Jacie63I have minimal pain right now but I stopped taking my hydrocodone a week ago. Everyone's pain tolerance is different. My pain feels more like cramps at this point. So to answer your question, the pain hasn't gone away but it is tolerable.Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app 1 Jacie63 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have my pre-op day long appointment on the 15th so I'll find out about the liquid diet then, but most likely have to do two weeks starting the monday after Thanksgiving. We're in this together!
