I am going to st Vincent bariatric center in Carmel and just found out everything was good for labs and tests. I should get to schedule my last class and my surgery date soon. My question is does anyone know what Dr Inman recommends for the preop diet? And is post op usually two weeks as well?

I had another doctor in that office and pre op was Clear liquids day before. Then in the other class they will go over post op diet good luck I had mine the 5th and did great in the hospital. ....but been having lots of trouble with nausea the past 2 weeks I go down Tuesday. ...but they keep telling me it will go away.....2 weeks and it has not.

I had surgery on the 5th and the first week or so was ok....now I feel like death everyday nausea dry heaves no engry it awful. I drink and eat very little for I cant stand the smell of anything. I have less engry now then every......I have become a horrible wife snd mom for moving makes me sick. Why is this happening I did this to help my life and it is worse.

I couldn't understand when people were on their pre-op diet they kept saying' date=' no more sweet, they wanted something savory and now I completely understand. The Protein shakes are sooo sweet it makes you crave savory.

My doctors pre-op diet allows me to eat Jello (sugar-free), whipped topping (sugar-free), carrots, cucumbers so I am eating those items along with the Protein Shakes and tons of Water.

I just drank half a jar of pickle juice, because I didn't want anything else sweet. Man this in only day 2 of 14.

My pre op is just Clear liquids the day before. ...I was shocked!

Hello everyone

I had a date of 8/5 and was postponned due to needed a cpap now i have to wait 30 more days

I was postpone so much it ended up being 8 mo. I'm just now for sure having my surgery on the 5th.

1 more day of liquid diet tomorrow and 1 day of clear liquids on Wednesday and the next day' date=' Thursday 9/5, is my surgery. Almost don't believe it. It's been a long process. Can't wait til it's over and the first few weeks go by. I have a cruise NOV 1 to look forward to at least.[/quote']

I go on the 5th but I did not have to do that this time I was just told clear liquids tomorrow! ?! Not like that bothers me....I cant wait to get this going!

I speak from experience take it minute to minute. I had the band put in 97 lost 60 pounds.:-) Had the band taken out because it made me sick and I could not lose weight and was going to go straight to by pass.....ooppps Woke up on 12/12/12 and heard there was to much damage you have to weight 6 mos. Well the weight I lost has crap on yeah:-) not ! In a week I get for the 3rd time in my life hoping for success I start the pre opt diet.:-)

For the most part I`ve greatful because I have learned that my struggle is way beyond me to go through this and still not be successful on my own shows me that I was not lazy in making this decsions.

IF the problem is so alarming then first thing you should do is to go for thyroidal checkup. If you get a negative on that then start a healthy diet regime with citrus fruits in the morning followed by raw vegetables and salads. Add them frequently in your snacking menu too. If you can go for a 20 minutes jogging everyday that would be highly beneficial else you can just walk for 4 miles a day. Start practicing yoga in the morning and follow this without any breaks.

Well the lap band just messed my stomach up and I like my doc it just couldn't be seen it is just discouageing. Heal is first then the bypass so 6 mo's from now if I remember from recovery I walk and eat right and lost on the band but bc of the problems it was causing is why I needed a resiovon just sad I thought I would be past this point. Not going to have to be in a holding pattern. I also have to belatedly not to gain and loose to much to change my bmi or could create a hole other can of worms

Went in this am for am for am revision and came out not done!well, things headed south we my surgery began 2 hours late. Then I woke up! To hear they where unable to do the by pass. The band had done so much damage that it would not have healed . So,It will be end of Mat/June to finish I am crush10. Why!Why! Super devastated.

Had the last of the tests to day so for sure 12-12-12!! Long day at the hospital! getting the last few list of thing together and then I think I'll wrap gifts so I am all done with Christmas stuff and can focus on sip, walk , repeat! Lol!! I am nervous, excited, nervous and scared! I thought I had this all together with having the band.

Nope not at all.

Oh, have to get sitter and such oh my I did not want to have to much ready in case it got postponed........did not wanna jinks it!!!

Here we go the count down is on!

Thanks... I am hoping this is just a moment! but t has been crazy!! I have to say I did my band in 2007 and they were not as throuro in education and such so I guess I went in blind and dumb! Now I know more and maybe that makes it alittle more scary! if that even makes sense......I did not go through any classes or nothing till I ran into trouble ...... I had a panflet I left the hospital with and followed that......Till I found a doctor that would take me even though he did not do the surgery and then I got help but that was so many years later.

They are doing a great job now but way different then before on education. I am scare it won't work since the last one did not work 100%. I think that is my biggest fear.

Congrats......you look great!!! Hope I can get there!!

Congrats, I am doing a revison too super worried I may not loose any weight so glad to see your post and way to go!!

Well, 7 days to go and having melt down. Can I do this? What if I fail again. I am a reviaion from a lapband? I lost 60-70lbs with my band. but have had so many helth issues? and this liquid diet is making me crazy! I want to losse this last 100lbs. I am not even sure I will b/c of already having surgery?? Grrrrr

I am on the 12th and for some reason over thes last few days have become a bundle of nevres. I feel like I can not say anything for I want this! Who do you talk to about this??? Not to sound stupid! To top it off I am a revision from the bad to bypass! So it is not like I have not done this before?? However this is very differnt. I wonder if that is not the part that is scaring me. Or maybe it is the Doctor that did my band retired and they did not do all these classes I just had to figure it out. Knowing and planning and "doing it right" might be the problem kinda. Even those I was successful somewhat on the band it caused me many health issues and for years I would not tell anyone b/c I did not want to tell anyone about another fail diet! To go through surgery and still fail how could that happen?? So, I know that worries me so much. What if this doesn't work? What if I never loose this 100 pounds I have left. What if I can't get enough protien? Or I forget how to take the vitiams? Or I throw up all the time light I did with the band (till I went on all liquids). Am I ever going to feel human? The cunsoler thinks it is just b/c of being sick for so long and trying to carry it alone and not telling anyone why the fear. I agree but it does not make it go away. I am 7 days wow 7 I feel like there is so much to do but yet there is really not.

I got Christmas bought for the kids. I am working on the Christmas Cleaning. That also keeps me busy. I have all the shakes, cups, container vitiams and stuff bought. I am ready. A few more loads of laundry and I'll pack a small bag. Deep Breath 7 days I am so nervous I am not even like this. WHAT IS GOING WRONG!!! UGH!!

Ok pull it together!!

Thanks for the venting so needed that sorry for the crazy noone I cared to share with here I guess did not want to feel judged!!

Had diet class and case manager meeting today wow flash of reality! Feeling overwhelmed! Pre op testing Friday. .....

All I have to say is we serve a mighty God!! Tomorrow at 5:30 AM. Thank you all for your prayers they were heard. Also praying for all my journey buddies for tomorrow on their surgeries.

Good for you.....praying all goes well and a quick recovery

The band has been extremely unsuccessful for me. I only ever lost 40 lbs and have gained it all back. I never felt restriction no matter how many fills I got. I can still eat everything under the sun except for foods that are good for me bc they get stuck. I was banded in Feb of 2006. Why are you doing the revision? I am converting on Dec 4th. I also have a lot of pain at my port site and have a band slippage.

Lisa :-)

I understand mine has only done ok. I still have a ways to go. But its caused acid reflux and such now I am a mess and the band is nit working at all.

Well, good luck praying this goes well and a speedy recovery fod you and all having surgery.

Thanks for the welcome. Had my pre-op visit today and will be on a liquid diet for preop. I m a band revision so will have a bit longer surgery but hopefully all will go well. I'm ready to get it behind me.

Im nervous being a revision too.

I don't feel the need to tell anyone.... Except u all lol. Only because people r so judgmental and I don't have time for that mess. Also because I no they will start telling me all the reasons as to y I shouldn't do it. Like someone said' date=' once u start losing the weight and they ask how, I will say I started watching what I was eating and exercise, because that would be the truth.[/quote']

I did not feel the need to broadcast it! I have not for any other medical procedure so it would be unlike me. It a change and I make lots of them and in this area I have not have had as much success as I would like. So, till I have that and know that i can be successful I will be working with this support. The support of people who really get the challenges of not having seccess at other weightloss and saying this is for me!

Dawn<br />Sent from my SPH-L710 using RNYTalk

Ty for adding me. And try to get used to the cpap' date=' I have been on a Bipap for more than 10 years. I don't even lay down for a nap with out it. I will work on my sugars and you work on using the Cpap Deal? Deal!

my surgeon is Dr. Clark, St Francis Hospital Indianapolis, IN[/quote']

Me to Dr Clark well he had done my care for my band the last 5 yrs and will do my revision! Wow someone right close to me!
