Hey snow! How did surgery go?

Did very well, home already. Dr Snyder was extremely professional and good at his craft.

I'm July 20th. Second day of pre-op and it's hard because it's so limited food choice wise. I'd kill for some cheese right now. The Facebook "support group" I'm in is so judgmental it's pointless to even go there. 😖

Hey Shyguy! I was once told” Don’t try to fit in.. find where you belong”! I hear ya on the food part.. I try to stay busy doing anything.. I’d sell my firstborn for a piece of pizza right now! 😂 I’m going to reward myself in the end with a trip somewhere.. so I’m looking up stuff on that. Keep busy! Hang in there! 😊

Hi Bariatric fam...my date changed to 7/27! They had me down for the sleeve but I switched to the full bypass! Where are my sister/brother buddies!!

I’m in for the sleeve but may I ask why you switched to the bypass? I’m seriously considering switching myself.

Hi Stacy. I really wanted the sleeve! but so many people are having the revison to the bypass after the sleeve. It's because they are having issues with acid reflux. When I had my EDG I had bile in my stomach (acid reflux) I never thought I had it but I did! SO to keep all the problems at a minimum, she advised me that I could still do whichever one but recommended the gastric bypass.

Oh makes sense! I have major acid reflux issues now.. I know bypass is a little more invasive but really.. if their in there they might as well do it all. I really don’t want to go through 2 surgeries myself.. 🙄 You’re making the right choice. I’m going to ask the Dr this week then. Thanks for replying 😊

      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.
