Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
...until surgery! October 15th is the day, and I can't wait. I'm 3 days into my 2-week liquid diet and was really dreading it, but as of this morning I feel great. More energy than I have had in a long time. Trying to find ways to incorporate my protein powder instead of making shakes has been fun. Today I used it as creamer in my morning coffee, along with the fat-free milk.
I'm really excited for surgery, and only a little nervous. Probably about 90% excited, and only 10% nervous. I think the nerves is my head telling me how much I love food and love to indulge, and that I can't ever just pig out again. But really I'm ok with that, its past time I get my life back!

Nerves are a part of this, everyone talks about them before surgery, and food will grow less and less important, until you reach a place where it is used to fuel your body, not for comfort. Best wishes, Kim
