Hi Everyone. I must say I'm home and feeling fairly good. My experience with Roux-N-Y was the worst on day 2. I had dry heaves for 14 hours straight. I literally wanted to die I was so miserable. The were giving me nausea medicine as often as possible but nothing would stop it. It was...

Today is my big day. I have to say I'm still very scared. We are getting ready to leave for the hospital in a few short minutes. My husband is very supportive and my daughter will be with me as well. I've done all my pre-op requirements and stuck to my 10 day pre surgery diet to a T. I had...

Thank you so much for the advise. I'm 4 days away from surgery and I did have a little crying spell this morning, but I got out it for now. People need to fully understand that is not for sissy's. I've been burying myself in work until Thurs. morning. I really havn't felt hungry nor have I...

On my pre-surgery diet. This is day six and am feeling fatigued and on the verge of tears for no apparent reason. I'm not hungry, thank goodness, but I just feel weird. I'm following exactly what I'm suppose to with the lack of recommended amount of carbs. Can't seem to hit my target with...

Thank you guys for your support. I'm just having so much anxiety right now. 7 days out from today. I'm excited and scared all at the same time. Thanks for the encouragment and positive feedback. I love you all!

I m completed my 3rd day and it's going pretty well. It's much harder than I thought but not the hunger it's the concern Im having wondering how I will ever get all these liquids and proteins in when I get my new pouch. Im worried. I have a hard time with my normal stomach. Surgey In 7...

I told my family and friends when they start talking all the negative, to either be with me or against me. I only want positive feedback and responses. So, if they don't have anyting good or positive, or encouraging to say to me, then don't say anything about WLS at all. Its been much better.

I tried Muscle Milk light and I think it is so nasty. I mixed some fat free sugar free pudding powder with it to make it drinkable. Not bad, but I cant get past the bitterness of it. LOL Have not found my perfect drink yet.

Does anyone know if the Unflavord GNC Brand of Whey Protein has any taste? I was hoping it would be tastless, and can mix it with most anything. I havnet bought it yet hoping someone had tried it. Is it like Isopure or any of the other tastless, odorless, clear protein that can be mixed with...

thanks for all the support. Im much better today and feeling like im not alone in this. You guys are great, and I hope to have you as life long friends, and mentors. Love you all.!

Ok Seriously! As my surgery approaches on August 30, I am having so much anxiety its riduculous. I have began to tell a few people of my intentions and all I hear is negative things, which in turn makes me so scared now. I finally told my daughter (who wants me to have this done too) she...

Awe! Thanks guys. It really helps being able to talk to someone about this. My instructions are pretty strict for the 10 days but I know I can do it. Thanks again.

I have sleep apnea and got my cpap about two months ago. I also have the nasal pillows after trying a different type of mask in the beginning. I too rest better and feel better, however, I don't think I'll ever get use to having it on. I still wake up in the night and want to throw it across...

Anyone have any tips on surving the 10 day liquid diet before surgery. Im having much anxiety over it. I know how my mind likes to tempt me with things I wont be able to have. Any secrets to getting through this phase! I know I'll do fine with everyones encouragment. Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!

Time has flown since i first posted my intentions of gastric bypass back in may. I was disappointed i had a 3 month waiting period, but now, i have been approved and scheduled for august 30. I am so scared and excited all at the same time. My mother has finally come around with supporting me...

I mentioned it to my surgeon the this online support group and he said "just be careful what you hear and read on there, it not always the truth" I was mildy shocked and somewhat put out, but I know he had his own support group in mind that he supports and directs. I think he just likes us to...

I've done all my pre-op testing, blood work, etc etc. only to find out today that my insurance is requiring a 3 month diet and exercise program with my surgeon before they will appove me. I'm so disappointed. I am ready to do this now I have to weight. Late August early septmeber now. :( If...

Ok so I'm totaly scared hearing of people who are in so much pain after surgery. Is this typical? My surgery will be done Robotically and is suppose to be much better in the pain and healing stage. Has anyone else had it gastric bypass robotically? I know my doctor is one of only a few...

Thanks for all the encouragement. Some of my friends a family are being negative. I'm not talking to them if they have nothing positive to say! I'm glad I have y'all

Awe!! Thank you. I'm leaning toward gastric bypass. I initially was going to get lap band but have changed my mind. Thanks for all the encouragement
