Just got signed off today from the Dietitian and Physical Therapist.!!! I got my Vitamin regimen for the 1st month post surgery. Its getting real! Now i am just going to get some things for the pre op diet and my Vitamins and wait for the call with the surgery day.. looks like at this point it will be Oct 23 or Oct 30th. getting So EXCITED!! oh and i lost 3 more lbs over the weekend.. idk how ;)

Here is the vitamin Regimin for month 1:

Bariatric Advantage chewables Mulitvitamin x 3/day

Bariatric Advantage chewable Calcium 500mg x 3/day

Celebrate Iron +C 60mg x 1/day

Celebrate B12 sublingual quickmelt x1/week

For the 1 month post op our center only lets us choose from these two brands but after the 1 month mark our daily Vitamins can be other brands as well as a few others .

64- 80 oz of Fluid a day.. and the shakes count thank goodness

Our Protein Shakes have to be whey isolate and need to have 20-25 gr of Protein per scoop post op having 75-92 gr per day of protein.. i need 2-3 / day depending on weather i mix it with soy milk or not

and my calorie intake post op until i get to have real food will be 600-800 cal.

Curious to what everyone else guidelines are :)

I am scheduled for 1030. I am a Lapband revision. I had my Lapband for 4 years and lost 191lbs. Granted, I was sick for most of that time, but I was down to 144. I loved life. And then, BOOM! I had horrible pains. Doubled over for 2 months. Removed my lapband, didn't find a problem and 10 months later I am up 120lbs. I am miserable, I am beside myself and I am hating myself. Gastric bypass is 10/30 and seems a world away.

We seem to be in such similar situations. I'm 10 years post lApband. Lost the weight... band problems.. regained 60 lbs... gastric bypass 10/6

New to the group and my date is October 9th I am so excited and so scared at the same time original weigh in was 307 today I am at 291 I have done 25 days of 2 shakes and 3 oz of Protein and broccoli and now I am doing 2 weeks of all shakes it is murder and I am not perfect I am very hungry and I have very little energy tonight I caved and had chicken and vegie Soup NO NOODLES I have been drinking all of my Water and I am actually pretty proud of that even if I pee all the time :) I am trying I want this very badly.

This is a revision surgery from a lap band that I never really lost weight with and it ended up making me incredibly sick and after just about nine years all the sudden I couldn't eat or drink and my weight plummeted thanks to an exhausted esophagus that pretty much just gave up working so I am nervous about failure and because of that I might do the shame game with myself. Id love to be on this journey with all of you!!

I'm scheduled for 10/13. Just had all my pre op testing done on 9/21.
I'm a revision from lap band to RNY. Also need scar tissue repair, hernia repair and my gall bladder removed. Have not received insurance approval yet. I'm getting nervous, but the doctors office told me that revision surgery approval takes longer.

My revision approval took about 15 days if I remember correctly it was fairly quick but longer than I would have liked

My doc didn’t put me on any specific diet. Just told nothing to eat or drink after midnight the night before.

OMG soooo excite! Bought my Protein Powder for my liquid diet. Going to spend the next few days ordering some things I need off Amazon. Have a work conference this week, and start my liquid diet next Thursday 10/12. SOOOOO GLAD the timing on that worked out! It would have been miserable trying to faithfully do the liquid diet while at a conference lol

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
