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 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

My date has moved from the 9th to 11tj because of a priority patient but I don't mind!! It's two extra days to get even more prepared!! I'm really excited. Have done the liver shrinkage diet for a week and have lost 8lbs! I was told I have to lose 10lb so I've got 9 days left to do that!!!
