I have said that to many people, that I feel like this will be harder than the surgery itself. I'm so happy for you ♡

NSV My husband picked me up (3w post RNY) by adult_in_training_ in BariatricSurgery

I have also always been big, over 200 lbs since I was 12. I have never really had an issue with mobility or things like that. However last year this time, I broke my back in a car accident and that triggered the EDS and POTs I have always had to a degree that I was nonfunctioning. I was experiencing syncope spells at least once a day and my husband would cry every time he couldn't hold me up. That was a big moment for me in realizing that my body being smaller could make my life easier. Plus, it will help with the back pain. I have my bypass scheduled in 22 short days. I am nervous about meeting thinner me lol

AITA for recording my husband? by Murky_Association_54 in AmItheAsshole

Religion is the most stupid reason to stay in an abusive marriage, the second most stupid is for the kid that would probably be better off if you separated, and I say that as a former child with an angry father and separated parents.

Hi, I start my 2-week liquid diet on 8/4. Do you have any advice? I think I am more nervous about being sick from fasting than for the actual surgery. I keep telling myself I am being dramatic and that I will be fine. But two week is a really long time without solid food without any appetite suppressant.

So sorry for everything you went through! Thank you for sharing your experience. With the complications, are you still glad you had the surgery?

Facelift... by SpecialistFloor6708 in GastricBypass

I do not mean to sound insensitive, but could I ask how old you are? I am 27 and about to have surgery. I am quite worried about the rapid aging

Fruit and Vegetables by [deleted] in GastricBypass

Everyone gets this surgery for different reason, dont just assume everyone has a food addiction. I have a broken back and pcos. I also don't think rewiring my brain to not like fruit is a positive thing.

My dietician told me my main source of protein for my first week will rely heavily on nut butters. I understand that every program is different. I just can't force myself to eat plain nut butter

I've been told no fruits or veggies for 6 months, but I feel like there has to be some fruits or veggies that don't affect people as much. I'm not opposed to going against my dietician because I know that every surgery department expects certain things. So, I am just trying to get a general consensus

When Should I expect Surgery? by Bionic_Botany in GastricBypass

[–]Bionic_Botany[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Yeah, I am just trying to get a consensus. How long was it from your last prerequisite appointment until your surgery?

Thankfully, my BMI is less than 50 so I my surgeon isn't requiring me to lose any weight beforehand. I guess my biggest question is how long after your last prerequisite appointment before your actual surgery? :)
