August Bypass Buddies?

[beabenitez1978 26]

Hello all! Well..just got my surgery date...August 4th...and needless to say I am actually nervous. This will be a band to bypass revision, and it seems no matter how much research I have done, I find myself very much scared and nervous... it'd be nice to find some that are going through the same journey!!

Hello. August 1 for me. Lapband was removed on April 25th. Doctor makes you wait 3 months before revision to RNY. What are you doing to get ready?

Congrats on your new date! So yes, I am actually doing a "single-stage" revision - so both surgeries will be done at the same time. I'm a bit nervous to tell you the truth, but less about the surgery and more about just making it to the day of surgery.. This pre op diet has me doubting my abilities....

How long is your pre op diet? You can do it. It will seem like a dream after surgery and getting back to real food.

How is the liquid diet going for everyone?

I have RNY on August 18th....surgeon does not require a liquid diet, but I think I will do one anyway. Any weight I lose then is weight I won't have to lose later.

I started the 1 week liquid diet on Monday. 4 Protein Shakes, chicken broth, sugar free Jello, and Water. Monday was rough but the other days haven't been bad at all. Congrats on doing one even though it isn't required. Helps you prepare for it.

6 days left on the liver shrinking diet!!!!

I've been weighing regularly and it's up a pound and down 1.5 every other day. Seeing progress helps.

On the lighter side... Teaching my son to cook has been a blast. He made a casserole yesterday that involved defrosting a tube of hamburger then cooking it. I'm doing my best to simply coach him on the process and not touch anything. When he goes to cut open the tube of meet, both of us are sprayed with the defrost juices. My husband laughs long and hard. I squealed running around the kitchen. The doggies run in to help clean (a good thing for sure!!!). And my sweet son is standing there with the leaking meet repeatedly saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." We sorted it all out. Showered. And finished the casserole. Lol - more mishaps like this and we should start recording them!!!

My surgery is August 10th and I'm already struggling with the liquid pre op diet now. If anybody else is struggling with the lack of caffeine and food please email me at

@dpressleymsn: I haven't started my liquid diet yet, but I feel your pain on the caffeine. I started about 3 weeks ago, and doing 1/2 caffeine, 1/2 Decaf for a few days definitely helped. Maybe try that?
