Guest guest Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 The soreness should lessen each day, but if it gets worse - call the dr. Are you walking and getting in all of your fluids? 10 lbs is a great start, way to go, I am so happy for you ;-) Kathy 284/239/135 Open RNY Dr. Buras 10/20/2005 Newbie I just had gastric bypass on monday 1/9 and just came home yesterday.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Welcome . I look forward to sharing this journey with you. It is really not as bad as it sounds. Yes, it is a major surgery, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Just relax and know that you are going to be losing weight before you know it and feeling great. Best wishes.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hi !! Welcome to the group. If you have any question or anything feel free to jump in anytime. As far as keeping calm....just try & keep yourself busy, so you won't think about it. I know it's easier said then done. Try & post some of your fears, what it is you are scared of? Take care Barb lexieesmom78 wrote: Hi Everyone, I am relatively new to this group thing.. so it may take awhile for me to get the hang of it.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I cant picture myself either. I understand what you are saying. I think as we gradually change we will get used to part of it. But it is all good change. It's going to be great and we deserve it. Here's to you. Shauna lexieesmom78 wrote: Thank you Shauna - I really appreciate the support. I find myself alternating between total elation and sheer terror. For some reason, I am super emotional and cry at the smallest thing. I can't wait to start losing this weight but I am also scared. Is that crazy? I've never been thin in my life so I have a hard time picturing myself.. > Hi Everyone, > > I am relatively new to this group thing.. so it may take awhile for me > to get the hang of it. > > I am in the process of getting qualified through insurance for the > gastric bypass surgery.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hey Barb, My Gosh - what am I NOT scared of... lol. I have always been the " funny fat friend " , ya know. Humor masks pain as they say. I'm just afraid that losing weight means losing me(?). A guy friend once told me never to lose weight because I would end up throwing it in everyone's faces and becoming a b****. He's totally wrong but I find that statement coming back to haunt me. Ah - I'm being stupid, I know. Thank God for my therapist. > Hi Everyone, > > I am relatively new to this group thing.. so it may take awhile for me > to get the hang of it. > > I am in the process of getting qualified through insurance for the > gastric bypass surgery.
