May 2022 surgery?



Recommended Posts

My gastric bypass is scheduled for May 23rd. I’m over the nervousness and am excited for a new chapter. I’ve read and watched as many YouTube videos as possible. What are everyone’s favorite Protein powders/shakes? I’m still looking for mine.

Seeking friends! My sleeve surgery is May 23rd. I’m so excited and can’t wait! Anyone else have their surgery around this date? I’m 260 lbs And 5’8. I want to lose 120 lbs. Anyone want to be my friend and we text during our journeys?

My gastric bypass is May 23rd! Surgery twins! My pre-op is not until May 11th and I find out about my pre-surgery diet at that appointment. When do you start your pre-op diet?

Close to you for surgery date! I’m May 24 for bypass. My favorite right now is Muscle Milk zero sugar. It is a whey Protein isolate and from what my nutritionist teaches are better tolerated and the more concentrated form of Protein so you get more absorption or something like that lol. I also like Vega greens powder in vanilla but muscle milk is nice because it’s easy to find and pre made in a shake. Unjury is very good and is also a whey protein isolate

Oh I'm having the gastric sleeve surgery and I talk to people that have had the gastric sleeve and most of the ppl I've talk to, have gained half of the weight back and they say it's hard to keep it off. You have to be really really dedicated and work hard and stay away from sweets.

Mrsjo:
I love the Muscle Milk zero sugar too. But right now I'm doing the liver reduction diet it's a really good choice for me right now other than a Slim-Fast see I have a option. I'm also looking at the nutrition being that I need some Vitamins too.

Whoever said “more anxious” I am right there with you. I have more energy now that I’m 15 days away but it’s definitely anxiety based 🤣

      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.
