Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

My revision from sleeve to bypass will happen on Wednesday



Recommended Posts

And I am so ready for it. Sick of being sick and tired of being tired. Reflux keeping me up at night and coughing like a chain smoker all day, it gets in the way of my health, and soon it would get in the way of my life. It's not a risk I'll take at all so into the surgery room I go like a strong woman that I am. I'm hopeful my recovery will only be 3 weeks, I want to get back to work ASAP.

I'm looking forward to feeling like my old self again, energized and ready for the day!

Carpe Diem!

Reflux is SUCH a pain! I had my bypass June 9th and haven't had a TOUCH of reflux -- no meds, no Tums... I can even lay down after eating! It's a miracle! lol

Best wishes!

@@Ginger Snaps that sounds like such a miracle right now. I was refluxing in my sleep really bad last night. It's just so awful and looking forward to not having to live like this anymore! Thank you for that vote of confidence. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
