Recommended Posts

I'm a 10/09er and I'm still on Clear Liquids until my f/u on Wed. I had the broth of of Progresso Veg Soup and it was awesome!!! I went to clinic today to weigh in and I've lost 12 lbs...is that good or bad?

surgiversary 10/09/12~235 lbs

Is the broth from like a regular can of soup with actual vegetables in it? Cuz i bought these big carton things of just plain broth in a variety of brands and cant stand it...

Had my one week post op checkup today. Doc said I look amazing, and had he not done the surgery he never would have known I had surgery much less banded RNY. I'm down 23lbs from my hospital high and can't wait to see this journey unfold.

Hello everyone!!! I need your advice. My surgery was on Oct. 10 and I have not had a bowel movement yet. I'm on clear liquid only diet right now until Monday. Is this normal to not have a bm for so long? Should I wait a little longer or should I go ahead and just call the doctor? I'm sorry if this is a little personal but I'm not sure if I should be worried yet or not.

Why you still on clear liquids so long? Just wondering. I hadn't surgery yet but my post op education plan has in it to walk, make sure you are getting 64oz oz liquids and try taking milk of magnesium. but it never hurts to check with physician.

It is completely normal. Try taking Miralax it does take a couple days to work or you can use suppositories too

Most bypass patients require gall bladder removal too. Some get it during surgery some a few months after. My surgeon already said that he prefers to do it after

My doctor only has you do clear liquids one day before surgery but 2 weeks after surgery. He said doing the Protein Shakes and all the other stuff only makes everybody really nauseated and causes more stomach problems. I can have sf Jello, sf Popsicles, broth, coffee, tea, juice and G2 Gatorade if I feel I'm getting dehydrated and if course Water :-). Thank u for answering my post. Nobody ever seems to answer any of my questions.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
