richie0927 1 Posted July 5, 2015 Hi I'm having my bypass on July 13th. I can't wait to drop the weight. I'm on my shakes and not really living them but I have to do what needs to be done. Best of luck with your surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WinchSight 23 Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Hi,I have a July 13 operation date too.Some quick background on me just for context. I'm a 42 year-old male living in AZ. My peak weight was 338 in April 2014.I started my 6-month PCP supervised diet in December 2014, when I weighed 326.At the end of the diet in June 2015, I weighed 265, so I've lost around 70 since my peak.I'm halfway through the 2-week liquid diet, and it's as miserable as everyone says it is, so I'm glad that we're all in agreement on that.The first two days were the worst, and I almost quit. I didn't quit, and now the diet sucks less. Still not great, but the Bariatric Advantage shakes seem to do the trick. Also I get one BA bar per day, and all the sugar free Jello and sugar free Popsicles I can stand. Yay jello!Good luck to you all! Go July!

Vsg_lma 26 Posted July 7, 2015 I had my sleeve done yesterday. I've been very sleepy from the anesthesia and in some pain, but it's manageable. Toughest is drinking. I get a cramping sensation and I can feel the air moving around. I just did three laps in the corridors to get the gas moving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
