What is it?

New been Observing 4 many weeks
Pam Peltz replied to pistachio Nut's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I do. Same. Painful knees, lower back spasms when I walk longer than 8 minutes. Also have hip pain. My surgery is next week and I am expecting to feel better with each lost pound. I've been told just keep walking. Each day one step further. See if you can find a gym with a NuStep machine they are great. It's a recumbent machine not a bicycle. Look up there website. It is awesome and a good non impact workout. I love it. -
Hi all! Been lurking for a week but keeping up with posts. So happy you are all doing well. Cannot believe next Wednesday will be my turn! Got my clear liquid instructions for beginning Monday morning. No bowel prep or cath. Praise The Lord!! This time next week I'll be on the slimming side. Can not wait.

I'm 60. Anyone else over 50 doing RNY?
Pam Peltz replied to Pam Peltz's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Glad to hear it. I have hip pain but never had it evaluated. Figure just too much weight on them. Keep us posted on your progress. -
bariatric advantage.com has vials of protein that are 50g in maybe 2oz vials. You might try that to get protein in if that is the problem.

Thanks for the encouragement. 13 days seems like a long time. We can do it. ALL of us.

Going in for surgery in the A.M.
Pam Peltz replied to JackieBNates1503's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Praying for you!! Let us know how it goes as soon as you can. We who are waiting want to know what to expect. -
Welcome! When is your surgery?
-
Well I'm 8 days into my liquid diet. 2 Bariatric shakes a day 1 Greek yogurt and one soup and I WANT FOOD!! I have no energy, my blood sugar keeps crashing and my numbers at work are plummeting. 13 days to go.

Padlrd glad to hear there are other surgeons who don't require the cleanse. I understand with sleeve and band but with RNY where they actually cut the bowel would make sense it be empty.

I hate taking vitamins. I am pre-op and can do chewables. Which one is best? I thought about a liquid but they are so expensive. Are there any reasonable ones out there? Do I have to do liquid post-op? Thanks!

Why French onion soup? And can someone explain why no caffeine? -
I don't have to do the mag cit at all. Should I be concerned? I am on a lower calorie than most here though. I've lost 11 pounds in 6 days.

Thanks ladies. Is age specific on here? Guess ill have to check! Btw I had a friend get it over a year ago and she said she was pretty much fine after first week or two. She stayed home longer just to make sure she had the eating thing down right. She weighed 380 and is now 210 in just over a year. -
Sounds like it may be an allergic reaction to the tape. Happens to me with the stuff I cover my continuous glucose monitor with.

I'm 2 1/2 weeks before surgery and off caffeine now. Decaf coffee and tea.

Surgery in 4 days and forgot to start diet!
Pam Peltz replied to mermaid39's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You need to tell your doc. Yes, we want the surgery, but we want to do it right and have healthy outcome. Waiting another week or two is way better than weeks or months of complications. Good luck. -
Playing the waiting game...

I'm 60 and getting my RNY on Feb 20th. So glad in not the only 60 something. Welcome!! -

I had a problem with insurance at docs office so I just called customer service at my insurance company. They were very nice and gave me current info. -

So thus far I'm the oldest? Wow. -
Jewelz, I'd call if I were you in the morning. Make sure it wasn't an oversight. You don't want your surgeon to put back your surgery cause you ate something they didn't want you to!! How many days til surgery?
-
I get emails from walden Farms often. It all looks good but I've never tried any yet.
-
Edm. Thinking of you. Hope all went well. Praying those scheduled for tomorrow do great!!
-
Does anyone know what the big deal is about caffeine? I can see in excess but a cup or two of coffee or tea a day? Why not?
-
how long did you wait to exercise after surgery?
Pam Peltz replied to erin0929's topic in Fitness & Exercise
Jogging at 4weeks? Wow girl. I haven't jogged, well ever! It would feel so good. Keep up the good work. My doc says walk only til 4 weeks out. Then maybe treadmill.
