Sharyn 30 Posted September 1, 2016 Your surgeries will be great! Welcome to our new life. Mine will be soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrystalS86 48 Posted September 1, 2016 I had my pre-op yesterday...eek! Met with the exercise physiologist which was really interesting, he broke down my body fat and composition and gave you an idea based on your lean body mass what your ideal goal should be, which was a lot more realistic than the stupid BMI chart. Also found out I am only going to be in the hospital one night! That surprised me, but apparently they don't perform the Leak test anymore which is awesome because contrast taste like sh*t lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beeeme 2 Posted September 1, 2016 Hi. I'm excited also. I have a surgery date scheduled for 9/20. I know this is not going to be easy so I wanted to join a support group where there are people going to have the surgery around the same time so I'm glad I found one.

Teejay1958 7 Posted September 2, 2016 I'm set up for September 13TH. ...already getting nervous! Start my preop liquid on the 30th. So ready to start my new life! ! Sent from my SM-G730V using the BariatricPal App I'm just a few days ahead of you. My doctors making me do the liquid diet for 3 weeks (ughhh) so I'll start on the 18th Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I started my liquid diet Monday, August 29, 2016. My surgery day is September 12. The diet is really hard but I have to push through it. I just don't like the Protein Shakes (and I've tried many of them). I'm sticking with Premier because they seem to be the best nutritionally, plus I can ALMOST stand the taste! Good luck to everyone and we'll all meet back here with wonderful results.

jody 69 10 Posted September 2, 2016 I am on day 2 liquid diet. Got bit light headed yesterday but worked through it. Didn't want any veg so I drunk all my milk allowance. Wishing everyone good and to keep strong on the liquid diet. We have started our new journey, Exciting times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diamondsandpearls 5 Posted September 2, 2016 My date is September 12th! I've only been on the pre-op diet for a couple of days, but the last two days I've had a pretty bad headache, which I've read is pretty normal. But other than that, I've been doing ok. I'm a little nervous because the weekend is coming up and I tend to struggle on the weekend when I'm dieting. But I'm going to try to stay busy and focused on my end goal. I'm so excited. It's been a long journey. 10 more days! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

etorres 43 Posted September 8, 2016 Hello Everyone, I was scheduled for September 22th, but they had a cancelation and now my surgery date is October 6 2016. I may not be a Sept surgery anymore but this forum has been here for me so I will continue to post until my surgery date... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrystalS86 48 Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Well I had my surgery today at 7:30. The doctor said it went amazing and I'm telling you the pain is barely existent. I started drinking Clear liquids around 4 o'clock today and I've been walking a lot which definitely helps with the pain. The only downfall is how extremely dry and mouth is been LOL. I guess it's a small price to pay Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Edited September 9, 2016 by CrystalS86 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrystalS86 48 Posted September 10, 2016 On post op day two. Came home from the hospital last night. Today woke up a little more sore but I also haven't taken any of my pain pills. Walking helps with pain. The weirdest part is being hungry but not really. I guess this is the head hunger everyone talks about. I couldn't imagine eating right now but when my fiancé eats around me I'm definitely eyeing it haha Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
