MrsTurner, I am sorry you are having problems. I am sure all of us have had some problems, and we would be happy to share information with you. I had gastric bypass surgery 8 months ago. Been through a lot. Let me know if I can help!

Please don't let anything deter you. Although I wish I knew these things, I would still have the surgery anyway. I am sure you know that there are always negatives. I had no idea: * That somehow your taste buds change, and foods do NOT taste the same. * Odors can immediately make you nauseous...

Congratulations, Katie! Hope you are doing well since your surgery. Just ask if you have any questions. My surgery was in August 2012,

Mylaststraw, I let my tummy dictate to me what temp the water should be. Sometimes the icy cold water will make me nauseous. Then other times, I feel the need for the ice cold. Try both ways and see what works for you. Congratulations on your surgery!

Hi Janice. Surgery date will be here before you know it! Which surgery will you have? I had RNY gastric bypass in August 2012. The more you learn and prepare yourself before surgery, the better off you will be! Good luck!

Thanks Jenny! Your surgery will be here before you know it! You will do well. For sure, once we go through all the steps, etc, we have a story and so much experience to share! Looking forward to knowing you better!

Thank you, Frank and Lacey! You are doing well, Frank. I was at 395 on the day of surgery. I am struggling to get past 270 right now. But I am encouraged by what I have done. Lacey, good luck on getting your surgery scheduled and starting your trek. We can all do it together!

Sorry, I see that now. I am new and looked at your info wrong. Good luck!

I hear you! You have done very well. You are at your goal weight now, right?

Thanks!! And Yay for us!

Hello! I just happened on this site. I am so encouraged! Looking forward to getting to know many of you and starting new friendships as we go through this journey together.

Congrats on your upcoming surgery. I am new here also, and would love to be friends with any of you. We need each other as we go through this!

Toadey, I hope the time goes quickly for you. Though waiting is difficult, it will all be wort it once you get there! You are wise to learn all you can and get support now. I wish I had researched more beforehand. But I could write a book on all I have learned since surgery. I am new to this...

I am over 8 months out, and I still get sick sometimes. It is getting less frequent, but happens. The odd thing after surgery is that sometimes you cannot tell you are getting full until it is too late! You will learn a lot of new things post surgery about how your body will work ad what it...
