nicole1171 5 Posted January 3, 2017 Hi everyone. Here's a bit of my background Lapband done April 2011 Only lost 40 lbs Went in for revision to sleep Nov 5, 2016 And they were only able to take my band out Since it had slipped I needed time to recover. Friday is my surgery, and I decided to go bypass instead of sleeve. I'm very nervous, about dumping and feeling like I'm starving. Plus I'm a very thirsty person and I can chug a bottle of Water lol, so the sipping is going to be a huge adjustment. Anyone else having surgery in January, what day? And what surgery you getting? I'd love to have some fellow BariatricPal friends to embark on this new journey with! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paulaski 26 Posted January 5, 2017 I am having the bypass on Jan.10th. I am on the second day of three to four Protein drinks and Water in between for six days. On the seventh day it is low sodium chicken broth, Water and crystal light type drinks. The thing is I have had a Migraine with nausea since yesterday afternoon. Did anyone else have this problem with the liquid diet? So bad, I couldn't go to work. Sent from my EVO using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiresandwood 15 Posted January 8, 2017 @@wiresandwood, congrats! How are you doing? I hope you are recovering well... Thank you! I am finally home and doing better. I had pretty bad nausea and pain for the first few days, but it's getting a bit easier every day. I just had some porridge, my first actual food since the surgery! Things are looking up.

wiresandwood 15 Posted January 9, 2017 @@wiresandwood, I'm glad you are feeling better. My surgeon mentioned it will get better gradually. Even though you get to eat porridge, are you feeling hungry? Right now I feel basically zero hunger, and I'm just trying to force myself to get in some nutrition! I find it really hard to get in enough liquids and food. I'm sure it'll get a bit easier down the road, but right now it's still a bit uncomfortable. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
