Congratulations! Can't wait to hear of your success!

My nutritionist has me eating meals for 20 minutes as well. She suggests small bites with a baby spoon. She said that the reason of the time limit is to make sure enough nutrients are being consumed. I'm currently seven weeks out and just started the soft foods phase. I have a hard time getting...

Make sure you walk as much as you are able. Some of the pain may be from trapped gas. The more you do, the easier it will get. Make the surgeons office aware, though, if the pain gets worse.

This is Stumpy, my 5 year old kitty with one eye and a missing paw. I went with my mom and younger sister to a dairy barn to show my nephew how cows are milked. While there, we saw several barn cats. One was my little guy. He was about 8 weeks and looks two weeks younger. His eyes were covered...

I'm only four weeks out as of today. Still on the full liquid phase for two more weeks. I have been craving chili for the last few days. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I look forward to trying it out. Maybe even using buffalo meat.

Praying everything goes well!

Thank you all for your encouraging words. I am home now. The surgeon was going to release me the next day. But then I ended up with a low grade fever and nausea. I didn't sleep almost at all the night after my surgery. I was on oxygen and it wouldn't work with my cpap machine. So every two...

I have just received my surgery date. February 25th. The journey is just about to get interesting. I was just starting to lose hope. The insurance company had had my information for just over a month. The surgeon's office sent my information in three times.

Tyler, congratulations on reaching out. It's a difficult thing to do. I haven't had my surgery yet. My paperwork is being submitted to the insurance company today or tomorrow. I'm on pins and needles. Maybe God is teaching me more patience. Continue sharing your journey. It helps not only you...

I know of at least two people who have had gastric bypass and gotten pregnant not too long after. One was two months, the other a year. Both of them turned out just fine. Gained minimal weight and continued weight loss after the birth. Because of the bariatric aspect, they were considered high...

Thank you for the welcome! I went to a local support group and I felt so welcomed. People had great information. It was great to know others had experienced my emotions, fears, excitement, etc. Looking forward to gleaning as much as I can. Good luck on your surgery!

Congratulations on your surgery. Hope it turned out well. Update!:cool:

Hello all! My name is Joy. I'm waiting for approval for gastric bypass. My journey began in October of this year. I have been researching gastric bypass for about 8 years. My sister had it done almost 7 years ago. I wasn't ready until now to have it done. Health risks are the main reason. So...
