Hey everyone my name is Vicki and I live in Macon Ga. I have decided to have the Bariatric Surgery and I go in Feb for my last visit with the Dietitian and then they will schedule my procedure. Frankly I am a bit nervous about this can anyone give me some feedback about the liwuid meal plan 7-14 dau prior to surgery.

It's completely doable, but it's a shock to your eating habits. Protein shakes, sugar-free jello, sugar-free pudding, sugar-free popsicles, chicken broth, beef broth.

I came across these exercise videos (provided by the UK NHS - National Health Service, nil charge), there is a good range of cardio, resistance, yoga, pilates, even a belly dance video. Some of the pilates and yoga videos are geared towards those with specific health issues eg arthritis. A lot are for beginners, and it doesn't look like much, if any, equipment is needed. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/nhs-fitness-studio/

Oh father i have sinned = Hell ya! But only in the way i was confused - Liquids do not mean Vodka and Wine, I also purred the hell out of soup which is not really clear liquids - But the last 3 days was totally broth

Thank you! He’s a breath of fresh air for sure! Went on liquid diet right after he arrived in my life. Had to explain on our first date why I was just having water. Didn’t faze him a bit! He’s wonderful! I definitely don’t want a baby, and he doesn’t want more kiddos either. Preventing pregnancy is why I got it. I don’t know why I’m so worried tonight. Thank you for the PSA. Seriously! It’s a good reminder, and I appreciate how you worded it. I don’t mind at all! Thankfully, we were both tested & discusses it before being intimate. Adding to the PSA - it might feel uncomfortable bringing it up, but it’s definitely something you need to do before you’re in the heat of the moment! We talked about it over text, and then moved to a phone call, so it was less awkward that way.

Do you find the changes are working and having a positive effect? I am here to help support or encourage if anyone needs it.

I am with above you hare Head Hungry! You are not hungry your body is confused and playing a game

Loop Duodenal Switch / SADI-S / SIPS are different names for the same procedure. A modification of the traditional Duodenal Switch with a single anastomosis (cut and reattachment of the small bowel) vs two with the traditional DS and a longer common channel (250 cm vs 100 cm) to allow for greater nutrient absorption. Both this procedure and the traditional DS include a sleeve gastrectomy.

Well, I had wildly fluctuating emotions before surgery that were all about being nervous about the surgery, ranging from excited to terrified. I was so nervous on the day of the surgery that I almost called it off just before I was being wheeled into the operating room. I'm guessing that your emotions do have a lot to do with your upcoming surgery, even if you say you are not nervous. You should also be aware that there will be lots of ups and downs after surgery as well. That's where this forum can be really useful, because you'll learn that what you are going through is not unique.

Hello Everyone, I am 2 weeks post op, and looking for suggestions for the next stage of compression garment to wear as I continue my recovery from my tummy tuck. I am overwhelmed by everything out there. I need something COMFORTABLE. This itchy, bulky thing the surgeon gave me is the stuff of nightmares. I need something that works for the summer weather, but is also durable, so I can sleep in it, wash it, etc... I do plan to buy more than one, but I don't want to break the bank, either, you know? Any recommendations are greatly appreciated! Thanks!
