December 2017 Gastric Bypass!



Recommended Posts


Hey Surgery Sister! I am having revision surgery (VSG to RNY) on 12/21/17.



Wow...that's awesome! Pretty cool that we are getting revisions as well. I love the support we get here. My family is great, but it is hard for them to identify with the issues I encounter as a wls patient (as hard as they try).

Hi all December surgery buddies. I am scheduled for December 5th. I seem to be older than most on these sites. I'm 63 and excited but anxious too. Looking for buddies to follow my journey with. Hoping everyone has a easy and successful surgery.

So, I’m 16 days from my surgery!! This weekend I went shopping and got my Protein Powder and drink, Clear Liquids, and made veggie broth and popsicles.

I’m getting really excited!! I’m leaving on a cruise this weekend, get back on Sunday the 10th, and leave Monday for Mexico. I only have to do 24 hours liquid but I can’t gain any weight so I’ve got to be super careful on the cruise.

It’s getting real!!!!

That sounds amazing! What a wonderful way to wait out having surgery by having a vacation first. Enjoy yourself![emoji2]

      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.
