Got my Surgery Date!!!! :) 4/2/18! Calling out any April surgery buddies!!!!



Recommended Posts

My surgery date is April 10th! Excited and a little nervous. I am having a Gastric Sleeve and Hiatal Hernia repair. I have been doing well on the liquid diet even over the Easter weekend, it was tough but got through it. Did anyone else have this done at the same time and was able to go home the next day? Thanks for any comments

My surgery is tomorrow and I’m having both done. My doctor said as long as I can swallow and keep fluids down I’ll be released the next day.

Thank you for the kind words . Sorry about your pain. It will get better. Also did u weigh yourself ? I drank Water only while in the hospital and I came home today and the scale reads I’ve gained 12 pounds!!! What??? I’m not happy about this. Is this normal?? How could this even be? I’m checking scale
Again tomorrow and calling my surgeon! Has anyone ever experienced this?



Hi there, it is 100% normal to gain after being in a hospital. They pump you so full of Fluid that your basically sloshing! Plus the anesthesia contributes to fluid retention. Don’t stress it. Should come off quickly within the next week or two.

Good morning y'all. I joined the losers bench. I wasn't nervous going in, but super sorry excited.

I was so excited . Now I'm in such pain. My tummy hurts, my head, and I have an abundant amount of gas in my left breast area. I keep reminding myself that I need this.

Sorry about your loss. I'm proud of you for continuing even after your loss.

Praying for you also! Try to walk as soon as possible. It really helped me get an early release.

It’s probably frustrating for you, but they are trying to help you be successful. I’m sure we will all have our ups and downs. Remember we are worth it.

      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.
