May 2023 surgeries

[Gabbie-1 45]

Hi everyone, Remember we are all beautiful and one of a kind works of art the Lord has created. Just like diamonds, some were laying out easy and others required a lot of sweat and tears. I think you might be onto something CarolineLittle, and the type of surgery makes a difference. Oh joy (sarcasm dripping from my tongue). I am having a band revision to RNY bypass, plus I am hoping they repair my hiatal hernia too.
I will pray for you all. By the way I am getting the feeling my hubby will try to over encourage my drinking.

I am having a van revision to DS. My band slipped back in December and I am finally getting things fixed on May 24. When is your surgery?

It's been all over the place. For me, mostly pain when I'm up walking around and getting my fuilds in. It's getting better every day.

Oh man, my tastes change daily. I feel like a picky toddler. Bariatric Pal makes a cran- grape Protein shot that I'm quite fond of.

May 16th for me! Pre-admission bloodwork tomorrow 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

[Cindyptaylor 10]

That is awesome. I have bought lots of different kinds and when I start my pre op diet on Wed, I will start trying them. I haven’t found many shakes that I like, but the premier clear is good. I haven’t tried the cran grape Protein shot but have some, guess it is time to give them a try. Thanks!

@CarolineLittle Thank you for being a cheerleader and organizer for us May-surgery pals! I have one more day to go. Good luck to you in two days! I go in for a weigh in tomorrow and I think I’ll be down 13 pounds of the expected 20 (7%) however that puts me at almost 50 down since November - and I think it will be a good place. I can’t believe I’ve lost 13 in 13 days. Good luck to my May 9 buddies - @Ana83 @flasandollar @theProcess and @SNEESE

Aw thank you! Good luck to you and everyone else this week having surgery. I'm definitely feeling the nerves now.

Hoping those who've had it continue to recover well and that the rough parts ease soon.

Those on the pre op diet, you got this! It socks but it's worth it.

Hey you're better off posting your question in a different forum where it will reach a bigger audience. GL! I can't help you unfortunately, the process is different here in Australia, you don't have to jump through hoops herewith insurance like in the US.

My surgery is May 15. I don’t generally like flavored water and the few I like are red. Same with Jello. I start my preop diet today. I only have a week. Surgery date came much sooner than expected.
