My date is March 27th and I get more anxious the closer I get to the date. I know I'm doing it for the right reasons but I've never had surgery before and that scares me. I have my preop appt on the 9th and they'll do blood tests and an EKG. Then I'll meet with the Nut. I have a whole list of questions that I plan to ask the surgeon and the nutritionist.


Hi, my cat's name is Phoenix...LOL I feel the same way, I never had any surgery and I am really scared. I'm having gastric bypass in early April and I cant even think of what I should ask the surgeon.

Here are some of my questions. I will see him next and will post the answers to these as well as any other questions I think of between now and then.

Bariatric Advantage Vitamins (1 pill,4x a day)

When should I start birth control

How long before I can work out? Weight training? Kick boxing or Strength Training? Can I do Rugged Maniac in May or November?

Is the Keto diet a good plan to follow after surgery ( High Protein, High fat) or should I stick to high,lean protein and good fats only in moderation?

Can we have lemon/lime juice (Fresh)and when? *For teas and to flavor water*

Can I use Proteu Water (Lift) instead of propel?

Is it possible to have a binder for recovery?

Im sure it won't be that bad for you. Right now they are working with one surgeon. The new one starts in June. Im thinking that if they had 2 surgeons right now my surgery wouldnt be that far out.

      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.
