Hello all! Well..just got my surgery date...August 4th...and needless to say I am actually nervous. This will be a band to bypass revision, and it seems no matter how much research I have done, I find myself very much scared and nervous... it'd be nice to find some that are going through the same journey!!

Hello. August 1 for me. Lapband was removed on April 25th. Doctor makes you wait 3 months before revision to RNY. What are you doing to get ready?

Congrats on your new date! So yes, I am actually doing a "single-stage" revision - so both surgeries will be done at the same time. I'm a bit nervous to tell you the truth, but less about the surgery and more about just making it to the day of surgery.. This pre op diet has me doubting my abilities.... :(

How long is your pre op diet? You can do it. It will seem like a dream after surgery and getting back to real food.

I have RNY on August 18th....surgeon does not require a liquid diet, but I think I will do one anyway. Any weight I lose then is weight I won't have to lose later.

I started the 1 week liquid diet on Monday. 4 Protein Shakes, chicken broth, sugar free Jello, and Water. Monday was rough but the other days haven't been bad at all. Congrats on doing one even though it isn't required. Helps you prepare for it.

6 days left on the liver shrinking diet!!!!

I've been weighing regularly and it's up a pound and down 1.5 every other day. Seeing progress helps.

On the lighter side... Teaching my son to cook has been a blast. He made a casserole yesterday that involved defrosting a tube of hamburger then cooking it. I'm doing my best to simply coach him on the process and not touch anything. When he goes to cut open the tube of meet, both of us are sprayed with the defrost juices. My husband laughs long and hard. I squealed running around the kitchen. The doggies run in to help clean (a good thing for sure!!!). And my sweet son is standing there with the leaking meet repeatedly saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." We sorted it all out. Showered. And finished the casserole. Lol - more mishaps like this and we should start recording them!!!

@dpressleymsn: I haven't started my liquid diet yet, but I feel your pain on the caffeine. I started about 3 weeks ago, and doing 1/2 caffeine, 1/2 Decaf for a few days definitely helped. Maybe try that?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
