2b smaller. I have surgery tomorrow as well. I can hardly wait. I feel like a kid on Christmas eve.

I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 in the morning as well. I will be the first one on the cutting table. Start my liquid diet tomorrow

Sleeveless. Yes I am pretty pumped up. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 in the morning. I will be the first one in for surgery at 7:30

Recidivist. This weeks seems to be dragging out. I am ready as this is a long process. I am looking forward to having a couple weeks off from work as well.

Getting closer and more real. How is everyone doing so far

Surgery is less than one week away. Getting real now. Pictures will be taken in prep.

Recidivist, things are going fine. They put me on a keto style diet. I can eat meat and non starch veggies. No sugar, no dairy no starch like potatoes or pasta, and no fruit. I can have almonds or cashews. I have been doing this a week all ready. Today, I only ate once all day and could not figure out why I was starving. So I got some meat for dinner tonight. The tough thing about this diet is we have been without power at our house for the last three days. But I have stuck to the diet

So proud of everyone. Keep up with your positive thoughts.

I had the physician assistant tell me there are cases that they have a hard time doing bypass because men usually carry their weight in their stomach and they are usually taller making it difficult to sometimes do the bypass. Is this something to be concerned with as when I spoke to my surgeon she did not mention this

2b smaller. I am scheduled on February 18th as well. What is your diet liked

Mikeyy. They put me on a similar diet to atkins or keto. Eat as much meat and non starch veggies as I want. I cannot have any sugar fruit and any carbs outside the veggies. I cannot have dairy either

I am not sure. We will see how this goes

I am disappointed that I do not get your diets for my bypass. I can have all the meat I want and non starch veggies. I cannot have dairy, sugar, fruit and any carbs besides the one in veggies

Hello, I am currently going through the process to get gastric bypass surgery. I had an opportunity to do my psych appointment a month earlier because I put myself on the waiting list. I would have loved to but someone is on vacation and someone is leaving us for another job. So we are short staffed. It is all good though. I met with the nutritionist and shared the steps I am taking to get ready for the surgery and she is on board. I quit drinking soda 3 weeks ago. My surgery is with dr holman. What about you. Anyone from West Michigan

Kicked caffeine as well. Day 8 without it

Hou can do it. Just look at the reason why you are getting it done

How long did surgery last

I have a count down on my phone. It is getting more and more real. Monday will be 2 weeks exactly prior to surgery. I meet with the dietician for preop diet. I know that I can have meat. I just can have zero carbs, sugar, fruit. I check veggies and that to has carbs. So we will see what else. Not all liquid though. Then I meet with the physician assistant to do a last review prior to surgery. Probably be more real on Monday than todat
