October 2016 Bypass Buddies?

[kbuckman1026 3]

I just had surgery on Monday 10/10. Still very sore and learning a new way to eat. Trying to make sure I'm getting enough Water and Protein in!

• Tomorrow is my big day 10/14/16 a fresh new start in life, not nervous just ready to begin this new journey. 5 day liquids was a breeze since I prepared myself, no food in the house, cabinets were cleaned out, only have broth, sugar free Jello, ice pops, crystal lite, and Premier Protein Shakes!!!. Looking forward to running and chasing my grandkids, going to the amusement parks, and doing all of the things that I cant do in this state. I pray all goes well for all of us scheduled this month, and look forward to sharing experiences. #imwiththewinninglosers

Received my insurance approval letter today. Just waiting to hear from Dr. A's surgery scheduler. To return my call. I am a bundle of emotions! Excited, nervous, second guessing my decision. Oh my!

Oh ok. I thought for a second we might of had the same Doctor! That is so exciting that you were approved! I feel exactly the same way as you! My surgery is scheduled for 10/26 and I feel like I'm on a roller coaster!!! One minute I'm so excited and confident, then the next I'm second guessing myself. Plus I'm really nervous for the surgery

Surgery date 10/17. Started my 5 day liquid diet today. But I just cheated with some garlic bread and cheese. I feel awful. Any advice? Would that affect my surgery?

The purpose of the pre-op diet is to shrink your liver so that surgery is safer. You need to go into ketosis for this to happen and that means no carbs. It's very important that you stick with the diet from here on. Some have had surgery cancelled due to their liver not shrinking enough. It's not worth chancing.

Hi KristenLe. Yes. I totally understand. Second day of pre-op. Did much better. Having all the clear liquid I can and keeping myself busy unpacking and organizing the new place. Seems to help distracting me from wanting to eat. Its not easy but I keep reassuring myself is going to be all worth. Looking forward to a healthy life.

I am at Kaiser in Portland and they made it super clear that my surgeon would cancel if I didn't meet goal weight too before pre-op apt. I'm so sorry!! Are they going to bump you to November's schedule now?
