Gastric bypass is set for May 16th. Hopefully that won’t get delayed. I’ve been having some stomach issues, and my primary doctor is wary about approving me for surgery until we find out what’s going on. I can’t wait!

I'm also due on May 16th with gastric bypass + hiatal hernia repair, hope all goes well with you please keep me updated on how you go post surgery.

Best wishes.

Hiya Merill. Not too far to go now. It's a bonus that your surgeon can fix your hernia at the same time. A two for one deal. My Surgeon poked me in the belly yesterday to see how my hernia was going. It will be nice that he can also fix this when I have my bypass on the 9th of this month. Are you on some liquid diet at the moment. It is getting exciting as it gets nearer. We got this Merill.

My surgery was at 9:30 am yesterday morning. When I woke up, I felt very nauseated and had quite a bit of pain in my stomach. I took several meds before surgery and after for nausea but they didn’t really help, although I didn’t throw up so maybe they did. I did not experience the dreaded gas pains fortunately. Surprisingly, they didn’t push me to walk much. When I did try I could only walk halfway down a hall and had to turn around - I was just so weak. I ended up sleeping most of the day.

strangely they also wouldn’t allow me to drink anything and my mouth was sooo dry. I could only use a sponge swab in my mouth which didn’t walk much. I’m hoping to be able to drink today. My symptoms didn’t improve after surgery until they gave me a pain med - I think it was called alordum or something like that. Never heard of it and I’m sure I’m not selling correctly.

they gave me a pain ball with two tubes going about 4-5 inches into my mid section for numbing. On day 4, I will need to pull the tubes out.

I should be able to go home today.

I hope you continue to feel better and better! I had mine this morning as well and I just remember waking up in a recliner chair and being super sleepy. Pain honestly wasn’t too bad except for the gas pain in my back. I was able to minimize that pretty quickly thank goodness. They had me up and walking pretty quick and I was able to go home within a few hours. I feel super bloated and experience a little bit of pain but I honestly built it up to be so much more in my head that it’s not bad lol. Heating pad really helps with gas pain and I also used a massager on my back. They had me drinking right away and it’s not too terrible getting Water down. I do have awful dry mouth though so I recommend getting biotene to help with that. I napped a lot today but did get up to walk as much as I could and that really helped with the gas. Hopefully we will feel much better in the morning! ♥️🙏🏼

Hi Possum,

Yes I'm getting a two-for-one deal LOL I'm so glad that it's going to get fixed and I'm finally going to have a peaceful nights sleep without the fear of waking up with acid rushing up!

Apparently when I lose the weight the hernia will not return, it's weight-related as I've been told by my surgeon, I'm supposed to be on two shakes plus low starch low carb vegetables but I haven't started it yet. I'll start right after mother's day lol

I've already lost 13 kilos with my own efforts anyway so I'm assuming 1 week of liquid diet should be sufficient.

Hope they can fix yours as well and all the best to you on the 9th keep me updated please!

We got this girl! lol

      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.
