December 8th, 2020 Gastric Bypass surgery for me. Long road to get here. I'm confident about surgery and recovery, but really worried about emotional self-control later, especially when the novelty wears off. I'm already working with a therapist (who is actually 5 yrs. post-VSG - a happy accident that she was thee one who had an opening) and my program (Kaiser of Washington) offers really good support.

Looking forward walking this journey with other Nov.-Jan. compatriots. :)

I have a gastric sleeve being performed on December 14th. That is if I don't get Covid. Someone sick sat next to me, both of us masked, but I didn't know he was sick. He got tested the next day and has Covid. So praying I don't get symptoms and I can take my preop COVID test and be all good on the 9th for my surgery on the 14th. All this on top of the fact that I was about finished with all of my tests right before everything was shut down the first time because of COVID.

Fingers crossed for you!!!

I’m scheduled for revision surgery on December 8. I’ve had two failed bands and a sleeve. Going for bypass. I’m nervous and excited.

I'm the 8th too! So glad to find someone else. :)

Yes, RNY Gastric bypass. Kaiser insurance paid. Expect 2 nights in hospital.

Yes, on a modified liquid diet for a week today. 2 shakes or bars, 2 fruits as Snacks (yeah, it seems like a lot to me too), 1 veg, and "a sensible dinner" (LOL) of 4oz. Protein, 1 tsp. fat, 1 serving starch, and at least one serving of veggies. To clarify, this my program's plan, I did not modify it unilaterally. :)

We are actually allowed to eat as many non-starchy veggies as we want in order to feel full, with caveats about head hunger and not adding butter or caloric sauces.

Day before surgery - Clear Liquids

Thanks for reaching out! It is nice to have a buddy!

Your diet sounds so much better than mine. I am allowed three shakes, a non fat plain yogurt and a bariatric pudding a day. I spoke to the nutritionist this morning and she told me I can have a hard boiled egg! I’ve never been so excited for an egg before!

      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.
