Congratulations! Hope for a smooth recovery. I go in tomorrow at 10:30 for my bypass. Nerves have taken over!

That is great!! I'm hoping to have the same results. Right now (not even 24 hours later) I just have a pretty sore abdomen and I'm exhausted. Will get to go home today though!

Hi, I had my surgery on the first of September. I’ve had my ups and downs but trying to keep it up.

I got a date today for Monday the 13th! I’m shocked as elective surgeries have been cancelled at the hospitals. Apparently they can do one a day now. I go tomorrow for pre-op and Covid test. Ahhhh!!!! This is nuts

[fatiima86 0]

That’s great! You got to stay positive. Best of luck

I am set for 9/20 pending insurance approval. Also there are a lot of covid patients in our hospital, so I am hoping it doesn't get cancelled. I just ordered all of my Vitamins, and I am going shopping this weekend for my pre-op shakes. I am also making Bone Broth to sip. I am only scheduled for a 5 day pre-op diet. I am nervous things will fall apart last minute after everything they put you through to get you to this point.

Here is hoping.

My surgery is on the 7th. Getting sooo excited. Started my liver shrinking VLCD diet on Monday, doing okay but feeling hungry. Hoping I'll shed a few pounds before surgery.

Mine was the 7th also! How are you feeling?

Had my surgery the 1st after starting this entire process in January! Still have mixed feelings about the process overall. This 2 week post op diet is literally killing me. Even though I’m drinking Protein, I feel so foggy headed and tired. I just want to be able to have food again too. I was also on the 2 week pre-op diet, but they ended up moving my surgery date up by a week, so I only had 6 days to lose the eight before. I stuck strictly to a liquid diet for that, so now I’m technically 3 weeks going on a liquid diet. Last night was the first time I’ve actually felt a hunger pang. Today it’s hitting me too and I’m not sure if it’s psychological because I miss food so much or what.

I had my surgery on the 7th and I am right there with you!! I have been HUNGRY ever since day 2! It’s a different kind of hungry than I am used to but it is hunger nonetheless! I have had some thinned out oatmeal and that helped some… I am going to try an egg either tonight or tomorrow.
