Looking for April peeps for RNY (Bypass)



Recommended Posts

Mercy! I am about 36hrs away from surgery time. Getting majorly freaked out and beside myself.

I am 2 days post op and I came home yesterday. Key is to walk as soon as u feel like you can. Really wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.
The time I felt really nervous was when I was being put to sleep but the next thing I knew I was in the recovery area.

Good luck with everything, you'll be fine.

April 18th here, I'm having a sleeve gastric bypass. I started my pre-op diet on Thursday and in five days I've lost 10 lbs. My pre-op diet is full liquid, but does consist of two shakes a day for meals.

You will! I have faith that anyone who follows the drs directions will loose what they want. I am still very sore can't wait to be able to go for walks again and then start working out after that I'm so excited for this part of my life and can't wait until this is all feeling normal to me and not like just another diet lol...it's a whole new life and we all deserve to be happy and healthy! If anyone has any questions about surgery at all no matter how "silly" feel free to inbox me cuz I know how I felt not knowing anyone who was just ahead of me I had so many questions :)

      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.
