I am done and on the mend...not quite into feeling like I want to do research for our next trip yet, lol, but not opposed either. Uneventful surgery and a hopefully uneventful recovery...thanks for all of your good wishes!
2 weeks ago today I was hitting the morphine pump, lol. As of today, I am down 20 pounds since surgery! Went back to work PT today and am tired tonight. Not sure if I will go in tomorrow or not. I think I will see what tomorrow brings. Next week I am doing 4 a little over half days...I so want a piece of chicken, lol!!
I believe anonymousegirl was done yesterday...sending lots of pixie dust out to you for a speedy recovery!

Congrats Winnie and Anonymouse on your surgeries. It is a long road and alot of mental stuggles Im glad to hear both surgeries were basically uneventful. Stay positive, do what the doctor tells you and save a few percosets and or vicodins for me. I can use some still but my doc has cut me off..
a week out from surgery and 18 lbs down for a total of 40 lbs lost. Having some trouble still with getting all my water and protein. Afraid to put a bra or panties on (sorry TMI) b/c of the incison locations.
Lookign forward to my support group meeting tomorrow night.
Welcome to all the newbies. Today marks my 1 year surgery birthday. Since surgery, I am 123 lbs down and 153 lbs down total. I still cannot belive it. 2 weeks ago, I woke up in some pain. I gave it a day and called my doc the next day, a Friday. He thinks I have an ulcer and I need to have an EGD next week. I'm nervous as the last time I was scoped was 130ish lbs ago and I had a rough time, getting sick that night.
New girl here, just had rny surgery July 14th and have a trip planned for October. Kinda worried about what i can eat while there. we decided to stay off site so we will have a kitchen and can pack lunches
Hello fellow GBS Mickey lovers! I have a question, I will be heading to the world 12 weeks post-op and I was hoping for any tips. We are doing some meals with the kids and I know to keep hydrated...but anything else that would be great info.?
Geniegirl, since everyone's body is different, I'm not sure what I will tell you will help. Generally staying hydrated and taking my supplements was the most critical for me initially, then came trying to eat enough protein. I tried not to eat new foods in a public place, and I still have to be careful to eat slowly. I had my surgery Feb 3, 2011. I am down 59 lbs with more to go.
Reasha - as I posted above, what I learned is that everyone's body and digestive system processes food differently, so the one tip I would share with you is to eat slowly, and only try new foods in private. Good luck with your surgery!
I just got back from Disney on Sunday. Let me tell you, I was worried about everything b/c of being a little over a year out and not sure how I would be able to tollerate foods. I was worried for nothing. We ate dinner at Mama Melrose one night. They gave me grilled chicken with veggies. I did say I had a food allergy and then I explained about the bypass to the chef.
I even lost weight (and I will admit...I snacked on popcorn. NOT a good choice).
Good luck to everyone that's going.
