Hi all...I’m new to the forum and I have a March 27th surgery date at St. Luke hospital in New York. I’m really have a mix of emotions but I’m very anxious to get my surgery completed and start my new journey. I’d love to connect with anyone else having their surgery on March 27. Best wishes for everyone!

Hi nycvsg69,

My surgery date is the day before yours. I know there are other March 27th people on here. I'm also feeling nervous and I'm sure it will only get worse as we get closer. I'm really excited too though. This is something that I've wanted for so long. You must be on your liquid diet too. How are you doing with it? The first couple of days were tough for me but I'm fine with it now. Take care.

Hi, my GB is March 27th. There are a bunch of us having surgery that day. I don't start my liver shrinking diet until one week before. I'm a little nervous. but mostly really ready to get this going and begin my new life. I have horrible arthritis in my knees, and I'm hoping that with some weight loss the pain will get better.

I think having headached is perfectly normal. As for your other question, no idea. My surgeon recommends using Water for powered Protein Shakes during the pre op diet. Hood luck!!

Hi guys, I’m Paula. I’m in the approval stage. I’m in St Louis and wondering if anyone else is from my neck of the woods? I have gone through all my pre op stuff required but hit a wall when I had an abnormal ekg. I’m scheduled for some heart work ups this week. Wish me luck! I have not met with surgeon yet, just his assistant. Just wondering if anyone else went through this? I have a hernia, teeny tiny beginnings of an ulcer and reflux. It seems all to be controlled now on meds for about 6 months, so I don’t even know what I should have???? I’m excited for all you that already have your dates! Also anyone been to support groups in your area?

Hi folks, I live in New Zealand and I'm having a by pass on 8th of April. It is nice to read your comments as it can feel a lonely journey at times. I start by 2 week pre surgery diet this weekend and have tried a few of the shakes, Desserts and bars on offer, some are better than others. I start the liquid only 3 days prior to surgery. I'm taking a month off work after surgery does that sound about right?

Hi, there! My surgery is March 27th and I'm taking a month off, too. I figured I needed some time to adjust to eating purees before I went back, and I'm sure we'll be tired for the first few weeks.

      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.
