Wow amazing after so much time and effort I'll be going into hospital tomorrow morning...exactly 24 hours I'll be at the hospital checking in.. Will be spending today washing and packing everything I need to take, getting a little anxious just hope everything goes smoothly and the recovery is not too hard.. I've done so good I did my own preop diet for 9 weeks just cut out all sugar; junk; and went high protein low carbs low fats. I'm officially down from highest weight of 322 and today I'm 258lbs 😀 I assume I'll take on some gas weight but still I'm so happy I'm aiming to get below 200. My ultimate end goal would be 180-190lbs But I'm really hoping this bypass will fix a lot of my medical issues as well.. getting excited and that 2020 will be a whole new year and new life for me this may BE my last post as preop and in hospital I'll be going dark no INTERNET while I'm in hospital just decided I want to take the time TO concentrate on myself and my recovery so you may not hear from me until I return from hospital which could be a few days maybe more... Here in Australia the surgeon won't allow me to leave until I'm doing everything properly and feeling good... Thank you again to everyone and their kind words thus far!! Mikeyy 💓

Hi all I was just wondering how soon after surgery were you able to drive say a few hours in 1 go without feeling too tired? I'll be having surgery in 3days I'll be needing to drive within 7 days of surgery if I can't find any alternatives. I'm just curious because i know people talk about being very lethargic and tired post op? I'll be using automatic so it's pretty easy to drive I drive all the time as it is just curious about being able to stay awake early post surgery!!? Thanks guys.

Leaving soon will be at hospital in 4hrs. Thanks all for the good kind words. Bye

😀 12 hours to go. Goodnight ppl.

It's definitely a mental process

Sorry to hear might need a revision next

Prepare you're own meal like a protein shake or some peanuts or some berries or anything that's healthy I went thru 9 weeks diet myself with surgery tomorrow. You have to be strong and committed to this process if youre going to have any success post op

Well that's a vague question. Every one had different amount of days. Different rules and calories allowed. I did my own diet total of 9 weeks with surgery tomorrow I've lost 64lbs that's roughly 7lbs a week mostly shakes & no sugar. No junk. NO cheating. Low calories low carbs!! (some tuna or veg or fruit) It all comes down to how strict you are through out that process and of course you have to continue to work hard post op!

Most of those types will charge huge interest you can Google

Yep did the same got all my protein etc so don't need to go shops afterwards.

Thanking you

Might need to check if it's a soda carbonated or not some ppl are told no carbonated

That's great to hear I'm going in tomorrow to have my RNY surgery 😀

Yep always go up a few lbs during the day

Revisions are different to a first time surgery*

I live Alone also but I have got a friend to drop me off at hospital and pick me up when I'm done since I live about 2.5 hours away and don't feel like driving that much after surgery... But essentially I'll be in hospital alone! I'm packing a bag just a small backpack*

I Think protein drinks are a great idea to get the best protein in and to hit those goals you need

Excellent work and your skin appears to have bounced back well

Preop I never went over 1000kcal a day but high protein low carbs everyday.. Lost well..

That's heaps well done. 60lbs in what 6 weeks..

Id assume if you started before they changed? But you never know might be best to ring them...

48 hours I'll be at the hospital for my RNY surgery

Fight

Yes doing well but keep your eye on those calories and youngest I know was a 17 and 18 yo girl who had surgery!
