Any August 2021 Bypassers?

[Tinyhounds 57]

I’ve been on all liquids since Saturday. Surgery is the 6th... I wanna chew something so bad..... 😭

Halfway through my 2 week pre-op diet and I'm SO tired of Protein Shakes. At least my plan involves some solid food, I feel so bad for you folks on full liquids.

Clear liquid diet for me. I am looking forward to a regular liquid diet now. This one really bites.

Do any of you have to do a magnesium citrate bowel prep?

I am on my third day of ore-op diet surgery on the 16th. I have a friend that just recommended the magnesium 400 for bowel ease after surgery. I have been looking into different brands.

Yep, the day before the surgery is all liquids and bowel prep for me. Not looking forward to it!

No bowel prep here, just a very restrictive diet and Clear Liquids only the last day. Almost there!!! I talk myself into and out of this a million times a day.

Oxtails are so hard to resist. I’ll miss them as well.

I had bypass on August 3rd. I'm working on taking in enough liquids right now. I'm not sure how big of a sip I should be taking or how much is too much at one time.

I'm having lots of burps and gurgle in my belly.

I’m so glad you posted your after. Congratulations!

Had my bypass 8/2 and also had my gallbladder taken out. Doing well but first 2 days were very painful. Still have pain, and have been doing a lot of sleeping, too.

how are the others who had bypass already?

They told me to try to do an ounce every 15 minutes (they use one of those little nyquil cups) or 4 oz per hour (while awake). But we'll see how it goes after my surgery on Monday.

Congratulations! It sounds like you’re off to a great start!

Yeah! Anything unexpected you can tell us about? One guy from last year suggested bringing a pair of shorts or pants for comfort while walking around and getting in and out of bed.
