If you have acid reflux or similar issues then i was told not to do sleeve. I am having bypass next week. I chose it because Ive seen alot of revision stories (not saying sleeve isnt good or doesnt work because there are many success stories as well) but for me personally, I wanna make sure I only have to go through it once. I figure ill go all in. I realize i am at higher risk for Vitamin deficiencies, but i will happily replace my blood pressure meds etc. with Vitamins if it means being a healthier weight!

My process has gone quickly. I went to my doctor for the first time in June and my surgery is August 29. I had three dietician appts, behavioral, labs and doctors sign off. I just completed the surgery pre-Registration, nurse visit and final blood work. So just waiting on the phone call to tell me the surgery time. My nerves are starting to kick in. Having trouble sleeping. Worried about waking up from surgery. I am having gastric bypass. Wishing everyone much success!

Hello and welcome! You are so lucky to finish that quickly. I started in February and am scheduled the day before you for gastric bypass also. Good luck with your surgery!

I was allowed any type

@ChellNC Glad to hear your doing well, but sorry to hear about the hubby. Hopefully it is something simple and he doesn't have to have surgery.

Mine is Monday 8/27, have to say I am nervous, I keep thinking something is going to go wrong and that it’s just not in the cards for me. This preop diet is killing me but I have lost 14 lbs in 11 days.

I feel exactly the same way. I am having surgery the day after you and I keep saying that im probably going to get hit by a bus or something before then. I have the worse luck ever!

Help!!! Bypass surgery was 8/20. scale has stayed the same for 5 days. Consuming 300-350 calories per day, 64+ ounces of Water, walking on treadmill 3 days per week for 30 minutes and taking all Vitamins. 15 lbs down, but frustrated! What am I doing wrong!

If your surgery was 4 days ago, how has the scale stayed the ssme for 5 days?

What if I talked about my religious beliefs? I believe in witchcraft, the tarot and spiritualism and voodoo. What would be the reaction to me on here?

I have no problem with that. Just dont make a voodoo doll of me....lol

Good! I hope it all works out!

Today is day 10 and the only thing i want is a slice of cheese pizza!

I have heard of people adding powdered milk to glasses of milk, shakes, etc. It doubles the Protein in milk.

Thank you! Surgery isn't until 1:00 so it might be late before I can check in.

I got the call! My bypass surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 7:30!

Congrats and good luck!

EGD finished, cleared for surgery next Tuesday! Can't get here soon enough!!!

I cant believe you all lost so much during the 2 wk pre op diet. Im halfway and havent really lost much of anything!

My surgery is the 28th, im sure I will feel the same way!

I've read NUMEROUS posts on here about a dreaded 3rd wk stall. Everyone says they seem to hit it 3 wks post op. I wouldn't think its necessary to go back to liquids. Just keep following your plan and let your body adjust.

I would simmer it with carrots, onions, celery, garlic etc like you would for chicken noodle Soup and then strain it. might give it more of a "meal" feeling.
