My surgery is July 7 and it’s only 3 days of liquid prior to surgery. 2 weeks liquid then 2 weeks puréed and then solids if I can handle it. I’m getting gastric bypass surgery

Mine was June 8…gastric bypass. I did modified liquid (read occasional cheating) starting 3 weeks before. More modified liquid (almost no cheating) 2 weeks before. 100% compliant liquid -not even the thought of cheating- one week before. Two days before surgery, it was difficult, but I attribute of that to nerves.

i am

2 weeks post op tomorrow. liquids since June 10 when I got home. I’m not hungry, and I feel better than I have in 25 years. I am meeting my liquid and Protein goals.

good luck to you!

Hey guys! Had my surgery yesterday, and about to get discharged. The gas pain is really something! Anyone else get sleeved on the 20th June?

Yep! I checked in at 6:30 am yesterday and this pain is unreal. Got me questioning what I got myself into. Yesterday was torture and today is slightly better. I’m finding it hard to expel gas, even with walking so I’m guessing that’s what this pain is. My stomach is grumbling like nobodies business as well. Aye aye aye.

I have no idea who you are… but when I woke up this morning I thought about you and how we were experiencing the same situation hundreds of miles apart. Makes me feel less alone… so weirdly enough. Lol. I will be thinking about you today

So how did all our June 21ers do? Mine went smoothly. Surgery at 11. I woke up in post op about 3 (problem sooner but that's my first memory). Taken up to recovery about 330. I think I took my first walk around 5. Ditched the walker halfway in. Walking is not a problem at all and I look forward to them. Just started feeling gas cramps, OUCH. I've done a little burping but no pass gas. Peed plenty but no poop. Having no trouble getting down my "food" and drink. Lots of sleeping. All in all, SO FAR, this has been easier than expected.

I went to Renew Bariatrics in Tijuana Mexico. AMAZINGGGG! Dr Perez is the best! Double board certified in the US and Mexico. $4,600 total. Includes pick up from San Diego airport, surgery, 2 nights hospital stay, 1 night hotel stay (optional, I opted out to get home:) and transportation back to San Diego airport. Absolute AMAZING experience. I can't express that enough. I'm down 22 lbs in 16 days and started with a low BMI, 31. No pain after surgery whatsoever. Swear I was questioning the doc like, did you even do anything lol Best experience ever. The worst part was the 2nd night at the Hospital BC I felt so normal I just wanted to go hommmmme lol

Feel free to email me. I'll send pics n all. They have a FB group that can be joined where thousands of ppl share their experiences. Here's my email to reach out directly. Totally forgot I even joined this forum until I got a random notification today lol

How's everyone doing?

I had my RNY on 6/6/22 and feel very fortunate that the only issue I had was an allergic reaction to the iodine prep they do before they start surgery. I broke out in itchy hives from chest to crotch. 3 days of prednisone and Vistaril and I am as good as new.

Just started my multi Vitamin, that is hard because it is like eating chalk but I choke it down along with my Omeprazole each morning.

Not being able to chug my Water is challenging but I find if I put lots of ice in my cup it causes me to drink it slower.

I found this stuff called Dr. Berg's Nutritional Yeast, it is so good! 2 tbs has 11 grams of Protein, so I tend to add it to almost everything, such as Soup, Riccota bake, and eggs.

I do not get hungry so I have set a timer for every 2 hrs so I eat and my main focus is on protein, making sure I get 80 grams in a day.

I had the sleeve done June 10th and I feel great! No complications... thank God. I'm over the liquid stage but other then that everything's been great!
