I agree with Cheyenne.... you do amazing work!!! I am so proud of you.. W-O-W

Hi Cheyenne and Nisey, I believe you are right, that my pain is probably all from hernia/esophageal repair. Anyways, I wished i could tolerate beef or chicken broth, even the bouillon cubes, but i cannot. I want to gag just by smelling it. :( So my "liquid diet" consists of sugar free...

Hello Everyone. I had my surgery on 5-5-15. I would rather give birth naturally again than go through this pain. Now that i got that out of the way, i want to ask has anyone else had this extreme of pain? I had the RNY bypass BUT also during surgery my doc found a hernia, a bad one. They had...

I have had plenty of doubts about doing my surgery; however, tomorrow is my date. I am not backing out because I want to be thinner, healthier, and happier. I am doing this for me and me only. My family will benefit from my outcome but in the long run I am doing this because I want this...

Thank you Nisey and Cheyenne! I went for a weigh in before surgery tomorrow and I lost 24.2 pounds! My current weight is now 333.6... I am so happy. I gained weight last time i was checked (357) and gee i am so happy for losing that much.

Hello everyone. I had my vena cava filter put in on May 1. It wasn't that bad, just sore. I just cannot believe i am not eating now for a week. I am proud of myself alone for this accomplishment. I have even made my family dinners and not once was i tempted (even though it smelled all so...

Hi Nisey, how did the weigh in go? I am praying for good news for you! I had my surgery yesterday. Well surgery for my vena cava filter to be put in. It was placed in my right jugular/subclavial section. it went well, i am just sore but that is expected. Now in 3 days i have MY SURGERY...

ksfarmgal I am so happy for you. Did the doc just do incisions on your belly? My doc advised me i will have incisions on belly and then one on my left side (a big one) for drainage purposes.

Nisey, everyone in my family understood why I had to do the surgery, but my daughter was giving me issues. Not because it would make me healthier, but because of the chance of risk. I have tried to show her that my particular doctor is excellent and has no cases of death or issues. Anyways...

I was advised to buy J. Robb... Egg Protein Powder... I mixed this with water and this one really taste much better. However, my stool is still liquid. Maybe its me and my IBS but I only have a few more days and then surgery. I also have purchased the ISOPURE... and OMG I LOVE THEM!!!! I am...

Ahh I sure wished I could have that! Chocolate Truffle sounds yummy! So how are you feeling?

I would see a gastroenterologists and get your ulcer rechecked. There could be a number of things going on inside you. Take care.

Hello Everyone! First off i wanted to say I am excited, nervous, and a little scared. Excited for the new me, nervous of surgery, and scared of me falling off the wagon. However, as bad as i want to be thin I am sure this won't be an issue. OK.. here is my PROBLEM. I bought Pure Protein...

Hello everyone. Yesterday I went to my Pre-Op Class, Met up with the doctor again, saw the Dietician, Had labs drawn, chest X-ray done, and finally signed all the necessary documents for my procedure. :D Surgeries are set. On May 1st I get my Cava Filter placed in my neck since I am at high...

Nisey, I just went to my pre-op class yesterday since my surgery is in 12 days and I am already off of 2 meds. I am sure that you will be off of some too. As far as the weight loss goes, my doctors told me to not focus on what i am losing now because it might be what you expected. For...

I agree with Nisey. I have never heard of the sips procedure and my doctor and his entire staff has educated me very well on the 3 procedures he offers. I would NOT be the first "candidate" nor would I even allow this doctor to perform this procedure on me until he can provide me with enough...

Hello Nisey! First off, Congratulations on your decision. That is the hardest decision of this entire process you have to take. Secondly, even though your weight-loss was not documented from the beginning you have to be proud of yourself because that is a great start to a new you! I am...

Hello Niseh, I questioned the same thing about having bat arms since I already have that and I have not had my surgery yet (its scheduled for May 5). Anyways, my doctor advised me to get spandex material or something to this nature to wear while working out to help compress the arms for toning...
