My bypass is tomorrow



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I'm Denise and I am new to the forum. I am having gastric bypass tomorrow(Nov 3) I have been preparing for the whole month of October.

My first week I cut carbs and sugars. I only ate chicken, fish, eggs, veggies, lunch meats. It wasn't bad

I actually went on vacation the next week so there's that. When I got home from vacation, I did eat my week 1 diet and also started to incorporate the liquid Protein as meal substitutes so my body wouldn't be in complete shock.

I've been doing Isopure pre mixed drinks along with nectar brand whey powder. I found those to be carb and sugar free. (1gm sugar and carb in some of the nectar powders) it's going well I'm not that hungry and I've lost close to 40lbs in the past 10 weeks since my consult. I am a healthy 27yr old 5'7 and currently 400lbs.

Thanks

Denise

Good luck to you Denise! I hope all goes well with your surgery and you heal fast. You are starting a whole new chapter of your life and it starts tomorrow! I had gastric bypass 5 weeks ago tomorrow, I am doing very well learning how to eat differently. I have lost 37lbs in 5 weeks and some more weight even before that.

Best of luck Denise! I really learned a lot from this site during my first week post-op. I'm sure you have heard this a million times, but make sure you walk, walk, walk as soon as you can after surgery. It helps with the healing. The breathing machine is also really important post-op! For the first 2,3,4 days after surgery I didn't think I would be able to eat or drink anything. It gets much better!!! Good luck!!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
