Maybe you’re gaining muscle from working out, try meeting with your nutritionist... don’t be so hard on yourself.. slow n steady wins the race

I’m so glad to hear @Poppygirl that you’re doing well. Yeah I’ve been passing loud gas lol and burping and walking unfortunately had to go out two days which was Sunday and Tuesday for groceries but I’m doing better. I’m just trying to get all my Vitamins in and my medicine that fights against gallstones... I also have to take my blood thinner for 14 days and so far so good... I ordered a scales can’t wait til it come tomorrow and see how much I’ve lost. I left Hospital on purée food stage for two weeks and then I go for my first check up next Tuesday

I hope everyone is recovering well from surgery? I had mine done on Friday, home Sunday. Working hard at keeping up Water and liquid diet. Everything seems to be going well apart from this horrid pain on left side. It comes and goes in waves. Nurse said it is gas and healing, need to keep walking and deep breathing. I have to say I am quite exhausted and could easily sleep a lot! but going to try and get moving today. How is everyone else getting on? would love to hear

Well I had my surgery 7/27 7:30am and it lasted 2 hrs. I actually didn’t have to have my hernia repaired wasn’t that bad to be touched. I tolerated liquids once I woke up from surgery, no vomiting. Th next day while in Hospital I had purée stage and I measured my food by medicine cups (1oz), I sipped my liquids. I was able to go home Saturday 7/28 @9pm. I came home was able to lay on my sides or back not my stomach. Day 2 post-op I was able to tolerate scrambled egg 2oz, sipped Water after 30mins.. I took my blood thinner injection and my gallbladder medicine so it won’t get gallstones...I took my anti acid, I took my Vitamins spaced them out a few hours apart. I’m ao proud of myself I’m trying to pace myself Ms not so too much at too lil time. I hope anyone else who had hgastric Bypass is doing well also... I pray that as long as I continue to follow the Dr orders I be ok. And yes just Becuz your ouch will allow u I eat more doesn’t mean that you should... this is a tool have self control.

Well congratulations, I hope when I see my bariatric Surgeon Tuesday morning I get such good news. You see I started on my bariatric trek in August 2015 and so very 😫. I just want it to be over so very very much. I have never wavered in wanting it, even when people said I didn't deserve it for many,reasons. I have heard I'm too old, in too bad a shape, too depressed, not committed enough, because I'm a widow, I'd have to go to the next big city instead in my town, by continuing to desire it I would knock a deserving younger person out of place, because I'm silly and foolish, because,God created me obese I'd make him mad, I selfish thinking,only of myself not the impact on the family. All these from people I once regarded friends or family. But guess what? I'm still going through,with it, I want,to do it for my health and a chance for a future. And if that makes them sad they'd better get a happy transplant cause I've had too much doom and despair around me to last a lifetime! When I get,my official date I will cry first and then Celebrate. If that makes me emotionally unstable, so be it!😪😛

Just got the call that I need to start my pre-op diet tomorrow. Surgery in 10 days!!!!

Yes we can🙏🏾🙌🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Nice job!! I have 11days left on this liquid diet. I won’t lie- this is tough! food commercials are evil!! (:

Surgery is tomorrow [emoji50]


I'm sitting at home, showered with that pre surgery soap, planning what time I have to get up in the morning to shower and use the rest of the soap tomorrow morning and make it to the hospital by 7am. Surgery is tomorrow, it's so surreal I have worked so hard for so long to get this surgery and now I sit here about to take that plunge and it just doesn't feel real.

I made it through the dreaded liver shrinking diet, Clear Liquids only today, and I made it through with no cheating even on July 4th. I feel so empowered and ready! But it still doesn't seem real.

This is so strange...

I started my pre-op diet Monday which is low carb & high protein... I just do liquid the day before the surgery. It’s scheduled for 7:30am n be at Hospital by 5:30am

Congratulations

Had my RnY yesterday and got to eat a liquid diet. I feel great and strong. So far so good!

And your Dr Michalsky is no slacker, heads a free-standing adolescent unit at Children's , 2 of my 3 kids were patients at one time at Children's as was one of my two,grandaughters. OMG just happened. to think, my younger grandgirl is going to be 21 in October. I knew I was nearly as old as Dirt but this comfirms it. Amy will be 21 on October 24th and I will be 73 on December26th.
At least I know my surgery won't be the 25th, if Dr Bradley is off helping Dr Marc with yours. Too bad, that would have been my parents 75th W.A. Well,if I can't have that day I will cheerfully take another. Should be 16th on, depends on how long. a liver-shrinking diet I have mandated, hope it is 2 weeks or less. I officially have been passed on to the pre-surgery schedulers from Jessica my case manager/ coordinator. Dr Bradley for a pre-meeting and an EDS is given. That is my term probably unofficial for Estimated Date Surgery. Started packing items in my pink camo duffle,bag, so far a couple jammie bottoms, housecoat, and a cake of soap in plastic container. Not much I know but makes it seem closer to real.😛
When I went for my introductory seminar in March there must be a couple hundred there, you are the very first person I have met up with on Bariatric Pal that even knew Dr Needlman. I have a couple bari-friends on here that are having theirs at Riverside with Dr Raja. One said one of her BFF had surgery at OSU with Dr Noria, liked her a lot. Why doesn't my friend go to OSU? She works in another department at Riverside and they get downright crabby if their employees go anywhere else. Me, I am exceptionally nice, I spread my business around, my Pulmonary is on Taylor Station Rd, my Cardiologist is at Dilley Ridge in Canal Winchester, they are both Mount Carmel, my Neuro on Chatam Lane- Riverside, my sleep Lab here in Mount Vernon, and rest of my stuff at OSU. Hope they all appreciate me and my insurance helping them meet their money budget. Well Marshall McPeak is going tell me when it is going to rain!😛🌂💦

Mine is July 16th

Great!! He is assisting with my conversion from sleeve to bypass with Dr Michalsky at childrens hospital columbus ohio which is where I am getting mine done at july 25th so its good to know that a head honcho is doing my surgery along with the surgeon who did my sleeve the first time around!

Yes Dr Needleman is head honcho of Bariatrics and Metabolic Weight Management at OSU , has been doing minimal invasive (hmnn right spelling? For once my Verizon doesn't have a better idea) gastrointestinal,and bariatric surgeries since 2005 or so. Probably,could find his way around GI systems with his eyes closed but I would prefer he keep his eyes open. FYI although it truly doesn't manner he is 49 years old. Not bad looking, maybe not total eye candy but worth 6 or7 pieces of salt Water taffy. NYC peeps he started out training at Mount Sinai, so when he was a youthful doctor he was one of yours. How did he get to Ohio ? I'm sure there's a story there, his partner Dr Noria trained in Toronto Ontario. Yes I looked both of their bio up, Frustr8 is very careful. whose table she climbs upon! At any rate Dr Noria is very pretty, snapping dark eyes, both Uber-smart and talented, I have absolutely no fear putting my life in their hands.

Absolutely, instead of complaining, I’ll just be grateful for my only 7 day liquid diet. Thanks for your response :)

7 day pre op! You are so lucky! I, like most of us have a 2 week pre op liquid diet. Personally I can't wait to start because that makes it so much closer to my surgery date. July 30th. Glad to have you join us. I find it so much easier to deal with all of this having so many of you to share with. Good luck. You got this!

July 17th here! Today is day 1 of my pre-op liquid diet. So far so good but I can see how I’ll be sick of Protein Shakes pretty soon 😂

Hi all! I just joined this, I’m having my surgery July 23, not looking forward to the 7 day pre op liquid diet but I’m learning it could be worse & I could have to do it for longer. Looking forward to speaking with all of you, we can do this!

Ahhhhhhhh

I just got my surgery date! I am scheduled for July 12th which is perfect I am so excited!!! This is really happening

I am so excited. I have already lost 10 pounds on my first 8 days of preop diet. My surgery is scheduled for July 4th. In Tijuana, with Dr. Ortez...... I hope I get to meet some of you there. I’m not sure how to use this app yet, so maybe some of you can show me how to follow you, and stay in touch. 👍🏻
