Thanks everyone! Sandie: i had my surgery in Greensboro, NC. I have not had the real bad gas pains, just dry mouth and nausea. I ended up having a bad allergic reaction to the dermabond glue they put on top of my incisions so that has been my only set back.

I'm one week post-op (had roux-en-y). When did you start seeing the weight loss?

Tomorrow is my surgery day (getting Roux-en-Y gastric bypass). Any last minute advice?

My surgery is Tuesday Dec 4th! I am so ready & excited, however I am nervous about the colon "cleanser" I have to take the day before. I'm getting roux en y so I have to drink all that stuff. Is it awful? Or does it just put you on the toilet all day? You can be brutally honest with me!

Can anyone recommend a great food journal (doesn't have to be free) for the iPad? One that let's you track weights, protein, exercise, etc? Thanks so much!

Awesome thanks so much!!! I'm always on my iPad so that sounds great!

For after surgery when you can eat small amounts later. I want something to record my weights in too

Can anyone recommend a good food journal that has enough pages for an extended period of time? I don't want to use just a regular notebook.

I got my surgery date! I'll be getting gastric bypass on Dec. 3rd. I'm concerned about the time in the hospital. Like not being able to have any liquids that first day, pain, etc. Any suggestions/advice?
