So glad I have found this community, it’s exactly what I have been looking for. Surgery date 17 Nov. revision from 15 yr old lapband to sleeve.

November 10th!

I am having my lapband removed and laparoscopic bypass surgery on 24 November. I am excited, but also nervous about the removal part of the surgery. I really hope it is a smooth operation.
I feel much better prepared this time around because I have been working with a therapist since February who specialises in emotional eating and uses a mindfulness approach. She has helped me unlock the why and I have had several Aha moments in discovering why I have been an emotional eater since I was a child.

I'm scheduled for Nov. 4th

I'm scheduled for Nov.2. So far I purchased 2oz plastic cups with lids so I can make and freeze small portions of pureed foods and broths. I also got some plastic medicine cups to portion out liquids. I see my surgeon next week for my pre-op visit and will learn what kind of diet I'll be on before hand. I also bought one of those medication organizers so I can track of which Vitamins to take daily.This weekend I'm going to make a big batch of beef broth to freeze.

Hi Ladies,
This is what I have done to get ready so far.
1) Purchased my pre-op liquid diet shakes called Optifast and I will be starting them on Oct. 19th
2) Bought the required Vitamin supplements recommended by my bariatric team for the 1st two months after surgery.
3) Purchased Premiere Protein for my Liquid Protein supplement for after surgery
4) Purchased a small single serve blender "Ninga Bullet" to help me with making my shakes yummy and my pureed food yummy (I'm hoping)
5) I'm telling my office on Oct 19th that I will be having surgery on the 10th of November
6) Joined a very local WLS group so I can connect with people in person. I think I am going to initiate some group walk events so we can meet outside safely. We are in a rural area so that will be easy for us.
That's it so far....

November 17th and starting to get my self organised.. what are the pre op suggestions to stock up on please

My surgery is Nov 23!!!

As of today, my bypass in on November 10th! And I also started this in August of 2019!

I need to start getting ready, thank God I work from home!

Hiya!
My surgery is November 10th and I started my journey in August of 2019. I can't believe it's (surgery) is finally getting close! I start my liquid diet 3 weeks prior to surgery so on October 19th. I'm prepped and ready to go. It has been an extensive process to get to this point. I'm in Canada so things are a bit different here than in the states. I wish you the best of luck on your journey!

Hello I am Nov 16th and truly afraid but ready for the lifestyle change. I have already bought items such as Bone Broth and Protein Powder unflavored. I would like some feed back on other supplies and recovery. hope your surgery goes well.

I have been scheduled for November 12th for my sleeve. I am ready to finish what I have started. If you have any tips for the first few weeks after surgery.

I'm scheduled for Nov 13th!

Hey there! (new on here)
I have my bypass Nov 4th! Started on Slimtime 3 days ago and pretty much feel like my stomach is eating itself constantly... so that's fun😒.
I'm nervous and excited in equal measures. Now if I could just stop being so irritable and feeling so overwhelmed!

On Thursday October 22nd, had 2nd Surgeon appointment. The next day the Surgeon's Nurse called with the date of November 4th for my rny! He typically requires 2-weeks liquid diet but said to start Monday when I'm back from camping. Surprised but very excited it's happening so soon! Started my process on November 15th, 2019.
Wishing much success to all!!! 😺

My date is November 5th for bypass.

I’m scheduled on November 2. I just started pre op diet on Sunday. It’s been hard so far. I have gotten premier Proteins in different flavors. I have lots of sugar and calorie free Water mix ins. broth sips. I have been trying to find sugar free popsicles but my stores are out so far. I have 4 oz tupperware already so I didn’t want to get 2 oz ones. I did get a larger bottle (32 oz) and a cup (16) for work. Maybe something that can keep you busy? Coloring. Drawing. Music. Reading etc. I’ve found it easier when I’m busy.

I’m scheduled 11/9 for bypass. I start my liquid diet tomorrow. Finally starting to sink in a feel real!!
