Recommended Posts

I can't believe I started this process December 2015. I went to my first seminar in Jan. and started seeing my surgeon in Feb. Finally after all the appointments I got a date in June for July 20 but had to reschedule for financial reasons I wanted to make sure our family will be ok. So here we are September losers bench coach put me in. I'm ready. Happy that I don't have an all clear diet two weeks before just two Meal Replacements and a small dinner. Then two days prior it's Clear liquids and shakes.

My surgery is 9/13 ????! ! I am wondering why some people are on a liquid diet and my doctor had not mentioned it. I see him on 9/7 so maybe he will have me start after that. I did not realize that so many doctors follow different guidelines when it comes to gastric surgery.

Good luck to everyone!

I was sleeved on 21st

I had a severe reaction to anesthesia. This is not common so no one else should really worry.

I did walk some the first night but I kept getting worse & dizzy

Dry heaves for 30 hours but dos the upper GI test & no leaks - great surgeon!

By day 5 I felt so much better & no nausea at all.

I think I'm getting all my Protein at this point.

Everyone's path is different & as sick as I was I wouldn't go back. This is going to be a great! I'm prepared to stay on track but honestly do look forward to having oatmeal in a few weeks

I'm doing good. 14days post op. I'm having pain to right side-incision. Wondering if anybody else having burning pain? Getting my fluids and Protein in without problem and preparing for the next phase-purée.

Hope everyone is doing great.

      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.
