Hello Everyone,
I just got my surgery date set for August 26th, 2020. I am having the Gastric Bypass surgery. I am feeling a bit nervous but I excited at the same time. I am new here so any tips or general chats are welcome [emoji2]
Hey there...mine is on the 17th. I am doing a revision from the sleeve to bypass. Have you started on your preop diet yet? What state or city are you from. I am kinda nervous here.

I have not started my pre-op diet yet. I have 2 weeks before surgery until I can start. I have been eating less for about a week and a half so that hopefully it I won’t be so hungry when doing the diet. I can eat one meal a day. 150g of Protein and no more than 30g of carbs is my goal. I am from Atlanta, GA. Where are you from? We can be nervous together 😂

I start my diet this upcoming week. When I had the sleeve done, I couldn't stand powder Protein Shakes since they got got me nauseous. I end up on Isopure premade Protein Drink. It worked out just fine and they are I find them to be tasty. Also, if you do not mind me asking whats you current weight, height, and BMI...and what is you targeted weight?

Awesome I will have to look into the Isopure because I really don’t like power Protein either. My Current weight is 306lbs, Height 5’3 BMI is 54. My goal weight is 160lbs. Why are you choosing bypass now above the sleeve?

I just got notified yesterday of my approval (wow that was a long process as my insurance required 6 months of nutrition visits first) and my surgery date for sleeve surgery is August 27th!

Best of luck. I got the sleeve 6 years ago. I suffered from GERD and the sleeve was dialted causing me to eat more. Now I am doing the RYN Bypass.

      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.
