I felt the same way after surgery. Around about 3-4 weeks post op that started to change. It takes awhile to heal and I feel like that’s when I got the “full” feeling. Also starting on regular foods fills you up faster.

I’m at 1:00 Monday the 21. Good luck to you all. I’m so full of butterflies and nervous for tomorrow. Don’t want to be away from my 3 kids but I want to be here for them and healthy! My 3 year old leaves for his grandparents for a week today. I’m going to miss him. His first time with out mommy and daddy.

I just got my surgery time for Monday May 21. It’s at 1:00. So overwhelmed with excitement and nervous ? . I was hoping it would be early morning, but I’m happy just to be getting it done that day.

Hi, Monday is almost here!!! I feel like this week the days are longer this week in anticipation of the 21st. How’s your week going?

My surgeon said chewable vitamins at first, and it can’t be the gummies because of the sugar. I guess it’s different for other practices. I purchased the liquid Tylenol because I was told it works faster than the pill.

Mine was submitted and I found out in 2 days by calling the insurance company. Once I found out I was approved and emailed my surgeons team and they scheduled me right then.

Congratulations [emoji322]

Yes!!!! My surgery is next Monday. Excited and so ready for it to be here. Chugging my crystal light and hoping for this week to fly by.

Congrats, glad to hear it went well. How nice to be home the next day! Hope your back feels better quick.

My nutritionist recommended this brand to me but the isolate protein powder. It’s not bad tasting either. I’m in my pre-op liquid phase now and surgery on the 21st of May.

Please do!!! I’m so excited!!! You will probably be done before me. I’d love to have it that early but I think there’s others scheduled that day. My surgeon said it takes about an hour and half ??. Add me on instagram if you have one @alljosgiosmom

Ha ha, no problem!!! I find out Friday what time my surgery is on that Monday.

So sorry to hear they changed your date!!! Now we share the same surgery day, the 21st. Stay strong, before we know it it will be here.

May 21 Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. 12 days to go and excited, nervous, and anxious.

That I’m not sure about. Maybe google it.

Since I can’t take my ibuprofen after Friday ever again [emoji20] my drs said Tylenol extra strength. But numerous people in the waiting room and nursing staff said to get the liquid, it works faster and better. Of course I’m sure we will come home from procedure with some good pain meds. Just want to be prepared for migraines and you know that favorite time of the month!!!

One thing I stocked up on was liquid Tylenol. I was told it works better after surgery than the pills. Walmart has the equate brand for $4.99 a bottle.

Hi Neri, I’m in pa too. I’m having gastric bypass May 21st at West penn hospital. My surgeon is Dr. Marr. Hope your process moves quickly for you.

I am worried too about my taste preference after surgery. I got my low sodium broth, a couple cans of cream of chicken soup, tomato soup, sugar free popsicles, my recommended protein powder in 2 flavors, lots of crystal light singles of various flavors, fat free refried beans, decaf cold brew tea, decaf coffee k-cups, and low sodium tuna in water packets. I had to get new chewable multivitamins since I had the gummies and my surgeon said they are a no-no. Still have to get a protein water and some G2.

I bought a pack of plastic disposable 2 oz containers with lids from amazon. To help me after surgery I bought a shower puff that has a long handle on it for showering, just in case I’m in too much pain to bend over. Some small toiletries and face wipes for in the hospital so I’m not taking all of my big huge bottles. I did my huge grocery hall last night for the pre-op diet and for the 2 weeks after.

Found out today, liquid pre-op diet is 7 days.

When is your surgery date?

I am so sorry you have been through all of this. I hope you do hear good things on the 24!!! Hopefully you don’t have to jump through anymore hoops!!! Sending positive vibes your way

I find out tomorrow, but the surgeons website says 2-3 week pre-op diet. I’m hoping it’s not 3!!!

Thank you! My surgery center already sent My prescriptions this week. Picked them up and start on one today. The others are for after surgery. What protein shakes did you use for the pre-op diet? I had premiere protein but my office recommended muscle milk.
