Pre-Op Gastric Bypass



Recommended Posts

It is totally normal. It is a very tough time, but it gets easier about day 3 or 4. Lots of broth, lots of sugar free popsicles, lots of tea.... You will get through it. Just try and keep reminding yourself of you are working for and how worth it that it will all be in the end. Good luck! You got this!!

I'm right there with you. I just started the clear liquid diet and I literally don't trust myself to be near food right now!! And I feel waterlogged!!

And the headaches....arg! Detoxing I guess.

It will be all worth it (my mantra) :)

Hey hun today I officially start day for of pre-op liquid diet. It gets easier and yes at first you will be HUNGRY. To help I took ice and blended my Protein shakes with it (once or twice a day) it helped to make me feel more fool- even if it was just ice lol

Hope Your Day is Great,

I only have to do is a one week liquid diet. I'm on day 5. Weekend I'm finding harder since I'm not at work. Normally weekends were my "cheat days" we're I'd eat more than I would during the week.

So, only being able to eat certain things at a certain times is hard but I'm dealing. Sadly, I have been craving food like crazy. Mostly food I would never crave. This whole process is really weird.

I am always surprised to hear about other pre op diets. Mine is restrictive but not liquid at all. I can have 800 calories and 80 or more of Protien. They gave me a menu sample and lots of yogurts lean meats etc .i know I will miss caffeine the most and my glass of wine with dinner!

I'm sure I will be whining about the lack of wine.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
