Having my gastric byapass on May 12th



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

My name is Rossella and I am looking for someone that is going to the process of having their surgery around May 12th so that we can support each other. I live in Arlington, VA but location is irrelevant, moral support can be from everywhere. I also just started my pre-op diet yesterday april 28th.

I am excited and scared at the same time...

I am too having my surgery on the 18th. So far I got lucky I don't have to do the pre-op diet. The more and more I think about the upcoming date the scarier it feels.

I am having bypass on May 10th. Today is my 6th day on the pre-op liquid diet and so far it has not been nearly as hard as I thought it would be. I'm really not hungry but have occasional bouts of the munchies - you know, when you wander in the kitchen just looking around for something to eat. When that happens I have a Protein drink and it goes away. I'm getting so excited as the surgery date gets closer! I live in Maryland - not too far from you!

I have mine May 17 and starting preop tomorrow.

Thinking about what a change I am in for from this point on

But looking for it to happen.

I am having my surgery on May 16th... go in tomorrow for my pre-op/diet appointment. I'm not sure exactly what my diet will entail, but I'm thinking liquids only for 10 days... I'm sure I'll be on here whining about this soon! LOL

So exciting, and so surreal... I can't wait, yet, I'm nervous too... I just really hope it all goes well!

I'm having my surgery on 11th May -exactly 1 week today!!! I go from being wildly excited, to being quite panicky ????

I live in Adelaide, Australia. Hopefully we can support each other online. Very interested to hear how you and all the others are coping with things...

      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.
