July Gastric Bypass?

Surgery is tomorrow


I'm sitting at home, showered with that pre surgery soap, planning what time I have to get up in the morning to shower and use the rest of the soap tomorrow morning and make it to the hospital by 7am. Surgery is tomorrow, it's so surreal I have worked so hard for so long to get this surgery and now I sit here about to take that plunge and it just doesn't feel real.

I made it through the dreaded liver shrinking diet, Clear Liquids only today, and I made it through with no cheating even on July 4th. I feel so empowered and ready! But it still doesn't seem real.

This is so strange...

Best of luck! You'll do wonderful. Keep us posted if you feel up to it!

@ Nnoi it is the dawning of your REBIRTHDAY. God and Dr Rana will be performing a beautiful miracle today. And although I of course can't be there in body I will in mind be watching every portion of your operation. And our bat-bud CMD516 will be joining you on Riverside's Wall of Honor when. Dr Rana performs her later this year.
And@mercmerc, my young friend if you haven't heard anywhere else on Bariatric Pal ---I meet this Tuesday 7/17/2018 with Dr Needleman for my own presurgical. We are,in a real-life Mario Kart race, although you will be probably be the winner I will be running my race right behind you. And by the end of the month all 3 of us will be renovated, remodeled and realigned for the future and I find it as wonderfully magical as anything Disney and Pixar could come up with. And into the future we serenely will go. Smile😛 my Bari-buds --OUR DAY HAS COME!

Good Morning. I had my surgery on July 5 th. I am doing great. I suck on a sugarless popsicle right out of bed and then take my pill for nausea and an hour later the pill for heartburn and then just sail through the day. I think all 6 meetings with the Nutritionist was totally worth it. I feel very on top of all this.

      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.
