@sandeeb. Good luck hope everything goes well for you, I keep thinking something is wrong with me, I'm not nervous, not excited, not scared, nothing. I guess I just want it done and over with, so I can move on to the healing process

i'm scheduled for next Monday, September 19, 2016. Just got final clearance from cardiology after a two stage stress test and echo cardiogram.

One tip for anyone using Premier Protein, you may want to add a dash of Benefiber (or generic equivalent) to avoid Constipation. Something my Bariatric Nurse forgot to tell me when she recommended it for the pre-procedure 2 weeks. I brought up the problem when I called to confirm my understanding of what a "clear liquid" diet for the first week to 10 days following the procedure. I then mentioned the problem with constipation and she responded immediately by asking me if I was taking Premier Protein. After saying yes she recommended the added Fiber via Benefiber.

FYI, the best price I've found for Premier Protein was on Jet.com. I was able to purchase 18 count packs and after using 1 of my 3 new customer discounts and quantity discount for 5 packs and free shipping I spent an average of less than $21.00 per 18 and they arrived in 2 days.

Best to all and may we enjoy a successful journey together!

Mine is on September 28th, I start my pre op diet on September,22nd, but I decided to start earlier. Not sure if it is because I am excited or want to be successful. Either way, I am ready.

I feel exactly the same as you. It may change on the way to the hospital pre-dawn Monday the 19th but, I doubt it.

My RNY bypass was sept 14. It was much less painful than anticipated

Went to hospital for 100 surg . Surgery started 300 pm. Woke up totally drugged. Next morning there was little pain. Just a dry dry mouth. No ice chips or Water for the past day and a half. Hardest thing was mustering the energy to get out of bed to walk

First day after surgery 1 once water per hour

Second day 2 ounces of water per hour

Should have gone home Friday but was kept an extra day due to urinary retention from anesthesia. Foley and catheter must go back in

Sat foley and catheter out and it's home I went. Plumbing working

I made it despite all the skinny people telling me not to do it. Just eat less

Good luck all

September 26! I go for my final surgeon visit on the 21st. I've been on a pre-op diet that is no sugar, no carbs, no meat, no fats. I've lost 12#s in one week on this diet, but I get fatigued very easy and have to make sure I get in my Protein shakes or I get muscle cramps.

I'm nervous and excited all at once.
