Big day tomorrow!!!! How are you feeling about it?
I know there are many different surgeries but with my mini gastric bypass I feel absolutely no hunger. I have to make myself eat but I do tend to forget because of the lack of hunger. I was hungry around the clock pre op so this is miraculous to me!

GOOD LUCK for tomorrow - big hug - let us know how you got on :)

@@bluey I'm about 15 down now, I think, and surgery is tomorrow. I hope I do as well as you!

Good! A little scared, but so far not too bad. I'm trying to act confident about it so I don't upset my poor husband. Sometimes it's harder to watch someone you love go through things than to do them yourself!

Yes, you are right but he will end up with a more active and healthier wife. Just keep the big picture in mind!

Best of luck today!!!

Brilliant news!!! Glad you're not in too much pain!

Sleeved and back home. Everything went just fine, I think. Not too much pain so far.

Great to hear! I got hiccups a few times and also strange little burps would escape me with no warning. Seems to have mostly settled down now though :)

My surgery was on the 20th of this month anf all went well, I got the bypass and I got up and started walking. I seem to have hiccups.

My op is on the 5th - so in just a few days. It has all happened very quickly and I am feeling anxious.

Would love to make some friends to share the highs and lows.

I'm 43 with 2 kids and live on the English South coast.

      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.
