Surgery Roux-en-y Surgery April 4!



Recommended Posts

A little nervous, but excited that it's scheduled. I've had a relatively easy time with the diet the last 6 months (seeing the weight loss @ each appt has helped...156 lbs so far). This ia my b-day present to myself as I'll turn 40 five weeks after my surgery

My pre-op diet starts tomorrow Optifast and Water only for 3 weeks and I can have 2 cups of lettuce or broccoli if I have to per day...each person is different based on their BMI and weight height ratio

Mine isn't optifast, but normal Protein Shakes and small spinach salads! How are you doing with day 1? I'm chugging water to fend off the physical hunger, but my head is throbbing!

I actually feel great besides a bit sluggish I have head cravings but as far as hunger pains I haven't had any except around the time I'm supposed to have a shake...I have taken to eating ice it really helps thwart the eating that I'm missing because you have to chew it. I didn't drink pop or coffee before this so I'm luckily not dealing with caffein withdrawal. And you can also chew sugar free gum or mints just check and make sure it has no sugar. Also Mio the squeeze things to add to Water to make juice are all sugar and calorie free

I add my Water then a bunch of ice hit it with some cinnamon and blend it and it is kind of like a chocolate milkshake I do it with the vanilla to which I prefer but they only had 2 boxes of it so I have mostly chocolate...I am on day 3 as well how are you spacing them out? I found I am hungrier at night time so still working out the kinks...where will you be getting surgery and who's your dr?

I'm really nervous too!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
