WELCOME TO THE FORUM!!!
Congratulations to your decision to have weight loss surgery! Which type surgery are you planning on having?
My gastric bypass saved my life. I wish I would have had surgery years ago before my health deteriorated. The good news is my health issues have all resolved and I am now very healthy!
Good Luck!

Good luck on your new journey. I had the gastric sleeve in march. I think it has been going pretty well. Make sure you do what your surgeons plan is. Very important to keep your fluids in and protein. Plus your vitamins/supplements is a must! I was nervous myself because it was my first surgery ever, but on your first day after recovery get up and walk when your able to . It will help get rid of the air/gas and that makes you even more uncomfortable. Any more questions ask!

Hi Jendmiller,
It is an exciting time and an event to look forward to as you move in a different direction of your life! The changes that you slowly become acclimated with, will gradually become a new lifestyle habit. Each day as you work on the new you, your mind, body, and spirit will evolve into the new person you focus on becoming. Take it slow since slow and steady wins the race. Journal your daily progress if necessary, and attend support group meetings. When you pay attention to your hunger cues, and how you're feeling emotionally when you're hungry, it will set the tone of changing your attitude about food and its new purpose in your life. Please read my blogs on My Life, they will encourage, inspire, and motivate you to succeed! Best wishes to you, and since you're in the right mindset, I believe you will succeed! Be well! Linney
