I looked it up & it's called "5 day pouch test" not 5/2 diet.

I've heard some people try to "reset" by doing a liquid diet for maybe a few days. Try searching 5/2 diet. I think that's what it's called. I know I've read about it on here. How many calories do you get? Try using my fitness pal to keep track of everything. It helps. Also maybe add a cardio workout. I love doing Richard simmons sweatin to the oldies, I know it's old school but it's what works for me. Good luck!!!

My doctor only has me doing a one day. I was prepared for a week but so glad it's not. Good luck, you got this! What time is your surgery Tuesday? I've got to be there at 6:30.

4 days to go. I'm going for a final Japanese dinner tomorrow. Then liquid diet & cleanse monday. Hope everyone is doing good! @@blashlee I hope I still like my premier protein after surgery, thats all I've liked so far.

I have them. :-) If you have an obgyn have you asked them for records? Or any other place you have been? Weight watchers or anything like that. If you have a good relationship with your PCP they might put down a ht/wt for you :-) all you need is that paper filled out, not copies of medical records.

I'm only staying 1 night, hopefully. :-)

Gotcha Here's the Fondation finder for it. It might help if they have any new colors. http://www.merlenorman.com/WebForms/FoundationFinder.aspx

I love Merle Norman. I tried different kinds but I always go back.

Great to here.

It's under April 2015 in bypass forum. Or maybe search the title. Just comment on the thread .

Call your surgeons office & talk to them. Don't take any chances of it being something that needs to be looked into.

My nurse said unless I wanted to look like a racoon not to wear eyeliner. I don't plan on wearing any makeup. I figure I won't care what I look like as long as I wake up. :-)

How was your surgery? Recovery has been rough. Surgery was okay, Doc found a few tumors on my bowels and he's currently checking to see if they're cancerous. I'm walking well, and getting up n down is ok but getting my Water in is difficult. I'm in pain mostly at night but I'm great through the day. It's a process n I'm taking it one day at a time. Thanks for asking! I will be praying for you!

Good luck tomorrow! Let us know how everything goes for you.

How was your surgery?

I'm April 21st. We have an April thread going "April bypass buddies ". Good luck !

If I were you I would call your doctors office and have them call you in something.

My doctor had me fill all my scrips before surgery so they would be ready for me to come home. I have antacid to prevent ulcers, anti nausea meds and pain meds to be taken as needed. My doctor did this also. Pain meds & Phenergan.

Had my last Dr visit before surgery on the 21st. Everything looks good & only one day of liquid diet ! Yippee for me. 11 days & counting down. Hope everyone is doing good! Keep us posted. :-)

Keep us posted. Prayers for you.

I know how you feel I am utterly bummed I can't, or should I say, shouldn't have the sleeve. I have been doing research on the sleeve for a year blindly ignoring the fact that I have pretty severe gerd. I would be setting myself up for a very hard recovery and even harder life post op if I continue to lie to myself and my doctor about my reflux. After reading these threads, I have chosen to take the correct path and choosing what will be successful not what I want. I want the sleeve... Cheaper! More popular! However.....I NEED the RNY. I feel sad, now I'm moving from all the sleeve forums, and the sleeve FB groups and the sleeve thus and that, to joining the RNY pre-op family. Feels scary but in the long run, I do not want to harm myself or my success by making a dumb decision for something I want instead of what will be safer for me in the long run. (I am a self paid patient who will be going to mexico) I felt the same way leaving the sleeve support groups, etc. I was so freaked out about the rerouting process of the bypass but now that my surgery is 15 days away I'm just excited! If it helps my surgeon said he can fix a leak /problem better in the bypass than sleeve. :-)

I do greek yogurt, blueberries & spenich & a little liquid (protein shake, skim milk, water) blend it up in my ninja. You can add any kind of fruit to greek yogurt & I always put something green in them too. Just mix it up till you find combos you like.

Wow that is late. Prayers for a safe surgery & quick recovery! I'm excited for you. :-) How are you feeling? ??

I wanted the sleeve also but after talking with the surgeon we decided bypass was the best choice for me. I had so much time invested in reading about the sleeve & stuff, it was a little scary to change but I think it will be the nest way to go.
