Is any of you March bypass done your surgery? How are you feeling?

I order same samples I love all of them. Are they meal replacement ? Because are only 100cal. I'm on the preop diet stage and trying to understand what should I eat after.

Jamie what did you use post op? My surgery is soon and I'm trying to shopping for "food" post op

Someone who judge a person for having hard time following the liquid diet is not much different of people who judge WLS, so many have told just stay on a diet, or exercise. " just do it".....

I was going to buy some miso soup but has lots of sodium. Should we look for sodium or it's ok?

Toni stay strong because the first 4 days were VERY hard for me. But you can do it! Think of the positive outcome. Personally I had some time to rest my body and sleep in the morning when I was off and kids in school.

I'm on my 6 day too. I'm in Camarillo Ca

I'm on shrink liver diet too. First 4 days was painful. Still getting head hunger, craving for very bad food. But I'm sticking to it!

I don't have a weight goal, I'm not sure what should be. Never discuss my weight goal with the nutritionist yet. I was never at " normal weight" in my life. Maybe when I was little but since 10yrs old always overweight.

So thats one of my question too, if at surgery you have a low bmi mine is at 35 I prob I have to lose 60/70 lbs would I keep loosing weight? How can I control that? I'm on 6 day preop

My surgery in march 16th, I'm using an essential oil called slim and sassy by doterra and Bio oil to hopefully help with loose skin. Prob will have to work out those part like abs, thighs and arms a lot to get them in a good shape. Also depends on how fast you loose I think but I'm not sure.

The end of day 5 and I'm doing great! Drinking only 3 shakes because I'm not hungry anymore. Drinking some vegetable broth from the knorr boullion.

I decide to tell at work, and some friends. And open a private group with my family, they are all far from me and wanted to share all With them. The most interesting thing is of my kids babysitter she is totally against it . She said: you are not that big. She actually think I'm skinny. I know she had a bypass couple yrs ago, but se doesn't know that I know. She doesn't eat healthy and gain lots of weight back. I don't understand why she so against my decision.

Thank you for your encouragement.

All is good. I'm on my day 5 preop I quid diet. Surgery day march 16. Preop diet first days was hard but now I'm feeling better. Getting closer.

Same for me only 1 week. My dr said after 1 week I'll be fine to come back to work and I'm a medical assistant so on my feet all day. Will see...

Today day 4 it's going so much better. I feel fuller and more energy. Drinking more water maybe that why too.

I'm using GNC chewable but they are more like starburst candy. They taste good.

Thank you! At the end of my day 3 i feel ok. I even went for a good 40 min fast walk. When I wake up and until 3 pm it's kind of hard but then I feel better. Who knows why. I talk to my surgeon nurse and she said I can drink 4 shakes if I need to. To get more calories. I drink 64+ water with lemons on it and in feeling full. Going to drink some chamomile herbal tea now so my day 3 is over. Looking forwards to day 4. I got some protein shakes from trader joe and waiting on my unjury sample order to come soon.

I'm on my 3rd day preop. First day I cry, shaking, cold, and vomiting. I was miserable. Day 2 was better, day 3 my little dizzy but keeping positive. I can only have 3 shakes a day, and sugar free jello-o, some broth. The worst part is making dinner and school lunch for my family. It's a torture. But we can do this. I'm taking some time to rest, and sleep also, so my body can rest from the food withdrawal!

Please help. Today is my first day of preop diet and I feel very weak and dizzy. Headache. My instruction from the doctor says shakes or liquid between 800 and 1000 calories. I count my calories with myfirnesspal count 770. What else can I take to feel fuller? Help help please

I got the charge, it looked more complete and was on sale for the same price of the flex. I think the difference is that has the time so I can use has a watch also.

Anyone from Ventura and having surgery with Dr. Sanchez?

I just got a fit bit, also. I hope will help with my walking/ work out

March 16 also! Start liquid diet on Monday.
