I own a fairly large company, and less than a week before my surgery 2 of my senior people resigned! I cannot believe my luck. Now I have to hunt for new people during the holiday week and I am flying out on Thursday evening! This would have been a perfect moment for some chocolate ice cream!

Hello September bypass buddies,

It's one week from tomorrow that I have surgery (9/11). I know some of you are having surgery this week. So, I wish you the best of luck. I'm also getting very nervous so I am trying to keep myself busy. I look forward to hearing you all after your surgeries.

Cheers,

chasingpolaris321 How did your surgery go? I hope you're doing well! My thoughts are with you.


Hi!! Thanks for checking! My surgery went way better than I could have hoped for. I woke up joking with the nurses and was up and out of bed the first day. I haven't had any trouble with Water or fluids (protein shakes are a little harder) and I just came home after a two night stay yesterday afternoon. I had a bit of an unusual situation with the pain medicine where I have Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction as a side effect of having my gallbladder removed, and so they did some really creative thinking with my anesthesia- I had a Ketamine infusion during the surgery and then lots of local anaesthetic to keep the incision pain down. I did end of taking one narcotic that didn't give me any trouble, and so it's been a pretty smooth few days. Today I'm going to do more walking, sipping, and Protein Shakes. Good luck to everyone with impending surgery dates! I'm thinking about you all!

This topic is moving so fast, it's already hard to keep up with who's gone through and who's still waiting and the month is just starting. I just wanted to say, good luck to everyone having the surgery this week, stay strong for all of us dealing with the pre-op diet, and hang in there to those of you anxiously awaiting the end of the month.

As for myself, I am 1 week away from surgery and getting plenty sick of Protein Shakes. We can do this!

Thank you. My surgery is on Friday but I am feeling really guilty flying away from St Florida right before hurricane Irma hits us. Some of my family is staying behind.

      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.
