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?

Hello friends!

I just got rescheduled from July 14th to August 14th because of covid. Its gone by fast and I start my preop diet tomorrow. Nothing to serious. I get to eat lean Protein and lots of veggies and shakes for Snacks. I'm getting the sleeve done. Good luck everyone!

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
