My bypass is tomorrow

[Neesy.pendy 2]

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.

Good Luck to all the up coming surgeries, i pray you have a good surgery and fast recovery. I am in the process of getting mine. I have seen the dietitian for the past 16 months , Wednesday I am going to a seminar, and hopefully setting an appointment for a psych test really soon, I am so ready for this next chapter in my life, I am super excited I wish so bad I was having mine tomorrow, but happy for you all

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!!
