I'm scheduled for a gastric bypass and hiatal hernia repair on May 16th. I'm glad I joined this forum as it's given me so much insight and knowledge of what to expect and how to deal with it, it's such a releife to read other people's experiences. You know you're let alone! I dont believe any research can give you this much information that is 100% accurate then from the people who have actually experienced it. Good luck to all who are waiting for their surgery best wishes🙏🙏🙏 Edited April 27, 2022 by Merill 5 Mariann812, Crisscat, SleeveToBypass2023 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3catnight 4 Posted April 28, 2022 My surgery is scheduled for Monday, May 2nd! I'm starting to get nervous. My previous Nissen Fundoplication (hiatal hernia surgery) has to be revised and hopefully the surgeon will be able to do the gastric sleeve at the same time. If not, it will be a few months before he can do the sleeve. But he thinks he'll be able to do both at the same time. I've been on my liquid diet since Sunday and it's going well. I've been pleasantly surprised. I was dreading it, but I haven't been as hungry as I expected. 1 SleeveToBypass2023 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deborah3888 4 Posted April 29, 2022 Glad to hear, I’m on day 2 of preop liquid diet, had stomach cramp in the morning and the runs drank grape Gatorade zero that really helped to hydrate -once runs stopped I was a bit weak, had smoothie with Protein and that helped feeling a bit hungry after 5p and kept forgetting I can’t eat solids 😩😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crisscat 181 Posted April 29, 2022 My pre op diet isnt as bad as I initially thought it would be. I think my surgeon is probably alittle lax on it somewhat. I had a Drs appt with her today and she asked how I was doing on pre op and I said not too bad actually, her reply was do the best as you can. I get hungry thats for sure lol. I have to busy myself to stop thinking about it. Tomorrow I go for my pre op visit/pre admission visit with the anesthesiologist to talk about my surgery on Tues. My nerves are settling in and Im not sure why Im so nervous, this has got to be done to get me in a healthy place. Im doing what most women do right before having a baby, Im nesting LOL. Making sure things are in order, cleaning the house, decluttering lol 1 Mariann812 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
