February Surgeries

[Patti T. 5]

Technically supposed to start the prep tomorrow morning. But I don't think starting early will be an issue as long as I stick to a clear liquid diet once I start.

I had the sleeve done on the 12th of feb (5) days ago and I feel like I can

A, go bad to work already

B, eat whole food already

Is this normal ? My incisions are healing nicely

And I'm not on any pain meds since day two

As of right now I'm doing 11/2 of the GNC shakes and broths, crystal light & Water and two spoonfuls of farina per day plus chewable Multivitamin chewable Pepcid AC and a chewable Calcium pill. Is anyone else going thru this ? I want to eat something soiled and I want to hit the gym and do stuff !!

I'm 11 days out and have felt the same way. I haven't tried "normal food" lol only because I'm super scared but I did tried hiking yesterday since I was feeling good. I couldn't do a full hike but it was ok. I was however feeling super tender today. Today was my first day back to work but I have an office job so it was not bad at all.

Be careful. Remember your insides were cut and have to heal.

Yes I'm trying to be carful but I fell fine I mean like normal not even sore a little bit , I wish it was spring so I could at least walk around the parks in my area , but cause of all the snow lately (New Jersey ) I'm stuck on the treadmill ugh why can't I drive yet ? I know Patients. LoL

Hi,

I didn't need to do any bowel prep at all. I think I have been lucky all round with various pieces of this puzzle. I was meant to be on Weetabix , yogurt and purees from the start, but my body can't seem to cope with that. If I have Breakfast I can't eat or drink for the rest of the day. So I am just having Protein mix ice cream style plus Soup x2 a day. That seems to work at the moment.

Take care all of you

Claire

A couple of hours ago I got my call from the hospital with the details for Wednesday. I've got to be there for 10am, which is a lot later than I expected, for some reason I'm sure 7am was mentioned before. Blood test tomorrow morning - eeek, looks like this is actually happening. I think I'm feeling excited and scared at the same time, if that is possible

Hello zoe,

I hope every thing goes well and that your new life style becomes easy and successful.It is possible to be scared and excited at the same time because I was feeling the same way 7 years ago when I had my surgery.

I am having my surgery on February 27th. Already on the two week pre-op diet and I have already lost 15 pounds!! Glad that you started this thread so I will have people to talk to as I go through my journey!!

Hi Sammy,

Well done on your weight loss so far. It is really good to see you on here. I am a week post op and feeling well and starting to try foods. It can be a bit unnerving beforehand as well as exciting. You will get plenty of support here I promise, I know that I did.

I am sure that you will do great and there is another thread for Feb post op people when you get that far.

Take care and welcome

Claire

[SammyRN 11]

Glad to hear it and anxious for details as I am a week away

Hey there everyone. sorry that I have not responded in a while. I had my RNY on 2/10. I feel great but am so tired of Soups and liquid. I will advise that the more you walk the better you will feel.

[Patti T. 5]

Hi again everyone,

Well tomorrow's the big day. Got to report in at 10 am. Not as anxious as I thought I would be at this point.

[ReaRaes 49]
