Hey Oct 17th er's - - our final weekend is here!! 3 more days I don't know about you, but it's been a long 6 month process of Drs and numerous visits and tests and jumping through hoops and over hurdles to get to this point. All while suffering from Fibro, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, on and on and on. Hello! I'm having surgery because I don't have the energy to do all the acrobatics that have been required of me - lol! The last 3 days of this incedious liquid pre-surgery diet. Then I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and know, yep KNOW that it has all been worth it! If hubs eats 1 more good meal in front of me, I might scream - - . Calgon take me away!

Officially on the losers' bench! Surgery was at 8 this morning
All went well. Now just dealing with the "too many crunches" abdominal pain. No gas pain as of yet.
Tolerating Water fine. So getting ready to try chicken broth and Jello.

My hospital actually has you do clear liquids the day before, then a gatorade (regular, not no cal) that night, and another gatorade in the morning at least 2hrs before your arrival time to the hospital. They started adding them in a few years ago because it helps with the recovery apparently. I'm in the middle of my 2wk liquid liver shrinking diet and am looking forward to those gatorades hahaha

How I had the same thoughts. I decided to stay with my original devotion because I wanted to give myself the best option to loose the most weight. Also this surgery had the most long term data on keeping the weight off. I don’t have a problem with food however I’m no longer that concerned about dumping as I have it as a reminder that I’m not to make the wrong choicest. My bigggest great is that I do all this and I do t loose any weight. I had brain surgery on a tumor benine early 2015 and I take 30 mg of steroid each day to prevent regrowth and that hinders me from loosing weight even when I work out hard for 1 hr a day and eat healthy and right portions. I eat 6 meals a day at 9 oz per meal and stay under 2000 calories a day. I am 6’7” and weigh 430. My thought hope all hoes well for you tomorrow as well

I am scheduled for Tuesday, tomorrow I have my last appointment with my surgeon... I am having second thoughts about Bypass.... I am now considering the sleeve..... my biggest fear is suffering dumping and not being able to tolerate Meats...
What is your biggest fear ??? I have never had an issue with over eating, my issues is being sedentary and i love to try new foods and new tastes.... and i am afraid the bypass will take that from me....... i am 6 feet 1 inch and I weight 295 pounds
Any thoughts?

Im so tiered of shakes. Surgery on Tuesday and I’m so ready for it. Hope it all goes well and I be back to food soon

MINE IS THE 30TH... LETS KEEP IN TOUCH

MINE IS THE 30TH... LETS KEEP IN TOUCH

Awesome... hang in there.

I love this Bone Broth. I do simmer it with some vegetables - onion, carrot, cabbage, celery, green pepper - and garlic. It has 7gr/cup/30cal as you can see on the label. I drank a lot of it yesterday and two shakes, some sf Jello. Yay!! I survived!!! LOL Nine more days to go.

It's weird, I am not hungry at all. I need to get a couple shakes in yet, but don't even want anything.
I am canning some homemade applesauce today and kept busy peeling about 16lbs of apples.
Not allowed to eat the vegetables - I strain them out - just gives added flavor.

I have my nutrition class on Wednesday, so I have to wait until then to see what I can and cannot have...I'm glad to see that I can pick up none broth in store, though. From many of the posts I've seen it seems like a necessity!

Good luck ohbrother

mine starts tomorrow .. glad your loving the broth! have you put anything in it.. i can have unlimited green veggies.. well certain ones but theres alot on the list

5 more days for me!

Well, tomorrow's the big day. Not as nervous as I thought I'd be today. Just ready to get past surgery and start healing.

Surgery is Monday for me. I am so nervous 2 weeks ago the scheduler said it will be 10am.. she called me Friday and said my surgery is 12 this makes me nervous.

Thanks! I just remember how hard it was when I banded. I did lose 19lbs in two weeks before that surgery though.

10/30 here! Pre ob diet starts tomorrow. UGH!

October 23 here!!!
I am so excited, nervous, anxious, etc....
Mainly right now I am hungry! LOL This 2 week pre-op liver shrink diet is for the birds!!!

Hi -- I'm new here. Scheduled for gastric bypass Oct. 16. Very nervous but excited.

Everything went great. I came home from the hospital yesterday afternoon. All I can say is gas pains are NO joke! And I'm definitely out of breath and drained of energy super fast, just walking to the bathroom I lose my breath. But I'm on this journey to a healthier, happier Me.
