I had my rny yesterday. I'm home today and hurting!!! Words of encouragement needed.

My surgery is in a week!!! What should I be doing? I don't really have a post op diet... Just reduced calorie. Thoughts suggestions...

I'm December 16th! Feeling all the emotions too. I also have little kids so that's a challenge.

So I'm just about to have my surgery and wanted to check with everyone on what Vitamins they take. I got some and it seems like I'll have to take so many a day of all this different stuff. I know there has to be a better way. Per my dr. I need: Chewable multi Vitamin with Iron Chewable b-complex Calcium Citrate (total1500/day taken 3 times a day) D-3 2000 iu Biotin 5000 Suggestions and thoughts are greatly appreciated.

My pre-op is just 2 weeks at 1000 calories a day then clear liquid 48 prior to surgery. I thought I was lucky!

I don't agree with my dr and think he should just take it, but he won't. He is "the best" around so in trying to trust him but I know that I'll end up having it out sooner or later

Thanks guys! I have a two week pre-op diet (not really sure what it is yet). Dr office sent out a packet in the mail with all my appointments, lab test requests and the pre op diet stuff in it and I am eagerly waiting for that to get here.

I already have gallstones and I asked my dr to take it out at the same time and he said no

I got the call from my Dr yesterday! Scheduled for Dec 16th! I'm scared and excited. Any advice is appreciated

I am really hoping my doc will take it out at the same time... He's kinda vague about all the details still. He has a weight loss goal for me before the surgery. He's a tougher doc apparently... Ugh.

So I found out I have gallstones. No problems as of yet with them that I am aware of. Do you think it's possible to just take it out when I have my bypass? Anyone with the same? Now I'm worried it will delay this already slow moving process.

Hello, I was just hoping for some insight... I am pre-op and will have GBP soon. How do you guys cook for your family and not eat it? I have a healthy fit hubby and a 5 and 1 year old. Any insight is appreciated. I think I'm a pretty good cook and it's so far really hard cooking for them. Thanks!

Ok I'm not kaiser. Lol

I feel exactly the same way! I'm in Ca too. Where are you from? I would die laughing if we have the same dr.

Thank you! And great job on your success so far.

Tiny needles... Not crazy painful as far as I've heard. I want have mine done when I'm done loosing too.

Not supervised. Surgeon just said he wants to see a 30lb loss before surgery.

How much protein pre-op is needed? I thought about the too few calories but thought that since I'll be eating even less after surgery I'd be ok... So Confusing!

I'd love to be added to you guys as well. I need help and ideas! Myfitnesspal: Mrsobi1

Thank you so much. I'm so tormented by this weight. I think once I finally got the courage to ask for help and decided to have WLS I realized how fed up I really am and how it really is effecting so many aspects of my life and the lives of those around me.

I'll be asking if I can do that for sure.

Dub, thanks for the reply. I am way below my allowed intake according to myfitnesspal on a regular basis. I average about 900 calories a day or less. At first it was coming off nicely but it has slowed so much. I'm frustrated! I'll keep am eye on my sodium for sure.

So my insurance does not require and supervised diet or weight loss, but my surgeon wants me to loose 30lbs. Any suggestions on dropping that amount of weight fast? I am so ready... I have been wanting and researching WLS for a long time. I had already lost 28 lbs before officially talking to my PCP and asking for help and WLS. I've changed habits, quit soda, and am exercising. I'm so tired of my 5 year olds friends asking if I've got a baby in my big tummy. Help!

My insurance doesn't require any pre-op diet or weight loss. However my surgeon wants me to loose 30lbs. Suggestions from anyone on the fastest way to do that? I am so ready to get this going.
