This is a closed/secret group for everyone who is going to have bypass surgery in February 2016!

We would LOVE to have you join in wit us! Just go to Facebook and search my name LaNae Davis Petersen, send me a friend request. I can then send you an invite to secret page and then I'll remove you back off my friends list 

It's meant to be a positive group who we can all be going through the same things at the same tim on this journey! The goals will be to provide support, bounce questions off each other, have somewhere safe to share on the days that aren't so great, and share our victories on this journey!

MOST importantly it's all confidential, unless you are in this group people can't see the group, who's in it or what the posts are.

I tried could not find you. Please find me. Sandra Joy

@@prettyCali916 Thanks for the reminder! Did anyone else's surgeon tell them to remove nail polish? Wth? Why do I have to do that?

Mine didn't say but when I had my knee surgery a couple of years ago, they said the same thing. I never knew why but someone on here explained that it is because they use your nails to check circulation or blood flow or something. You know how your nail beds can get completely white if there's no blood flow (you press them down for a long period or something like that) but when there's blood flow they are nice and pink? That's why. I guess it's one of the things they check...heartbeat..pulse...nail beds lol.

I got a mani pedi with no nail polish. So weird. The nail techs were like "you sure, you sure?" Like i was crazy lol

Good luck to everyone tomorrow! :) I'm looking forward to hearing about everyone's experience in the next couple of days. I'm nervous because it sounds like everyone else is going to be in the hospital at least overnight to a couple of days and I'm only scheduled for day surgery.....

What kind of surgery are you having? For my sleeve I wasn't in the hospital 12 hours. For the bypass they are saying a day or two

      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.
