I’m at BMI of UT. Cheers to our preop diet!

Yeah! I’m in UT too and scheduled for June 21. Just started the preop diet today. Where are you getting your surgery?

Just scheduled my surgery date for June 22nd! I start the pre surgery diet tomorrow. I’m so excited!

My date is the 16h ! Excited but nervous.

Oh no! I do the same thing and get in my own head sometimes. YouTube videos don't have to be bad, maybe try and focus on some positive success stories. I also go browsing through before and after photos, and the success stories portion of the forum. Hope you get out of the rabbit hole soon!

After 2 months I’ve finally got my date June 23rd I’m over the moon and nervous all at the same time.

I am having a revision from sleeve to bypass June 14th. I started my pre-op diet Sunday and it's not too bad. I'm starting to get nervous though. Not looking forward to having to do this all over AGAIN.. I had my sleeve done in Oct 2017, and it hasn't been a fun ride since. I hope this time it turns out better. I am ready to get it over with 🤨😬.. . Wish everyone luck and a speedy recovery..

I just got back from my one-week post-op visit. I don't have to crush my pills any more, which is a great relief. Nothing can ruin a spoonful of yogurt like a small pile of powdered medicine.
I can also go from the full-liquid diet to the puree diet. When I told him I didn't feel that excited about puréed meat, he said I could try some light, soft fish that I don't have to chew much. Or tuna.
Forgot to ask when I should start the Vitamins, but I think it's pretty soon. I sent a message on their web portal.

My day is the 8th. This has been a long journey. I was scheduled in December but got covid. Then I scheduled it for February but my sub canceled 2 days before. Third times a charm! I’m finally getting the surgery. So excited!

I’m counting down the days…36 left to be exact. Ready to get it over with and begin the newness of it all.. which scares me of taking care of myself better and not knowing what to expect afterwards. Knowing people have gone before me helps out a lot and knowing people have not regret it also helps! 

You got this! No reason to be nervous. Everything will go fine, and you'll have a new tool for losing weight.

Yes I think it finally clicked for me today, and I felt absolutely terrified and alone. Had to pull myself together and distract myself a bit.. starting 10 day milk diet tomorrow. Pray for me haha

I've had a wobble today.. been down a deep YouTube rabbit hole. Need to get back into the excited place I was last week!

Fingers crossed!

Had my surgery yesterday.

My BP got really low during the procedure. So got put on bed rest only meaning I couldn’t get up to walk for the gas pain.

But that’s pretty much it.

Hope to be able to get some walking in today so I can go home this afternoon

June 1, 2021!

My surgery is scheduled for Monday, June 7th. Just finishing up my 4th day on liquid diet. Not as bad as I thought it would be.

June 28th. So nervous

I’m going to surgery onJune 7th. Excited and full of nervous

One day post-surgery, my pain is very well controlled using just Tylenol. That’s a bit of a surprise, since my neck surgery took all kinds of narcotics. I’ve been up walking a couple times.
The only hitch is slightly elevated white blood cell count. The doc says elevated WBC is normal. They will check it again, and if it’s not trending up, I can go home today.
heme = Yay!

You are ABSOLUTELY not alone. My bypass was on the 9th and I'm struggling to figure out hunger, fullness and the gurgling. And I keep taking sips that are too large. I used to gulp water and I really have to stay mindful so I don't feel sick. I've heard from others that its hard to gauge with liquids and things will be easier to understand once we get to puree and soft foods. Hang in there!

I started liquids today ….. I just realized how much mindless tasting and nibbling I do if my toddlers food. PB?J never smelled so good 🙄

Congratulations. Good Luck!

Hi everyone! I had my surgery June 9th and I just stumbled upon this forum Dealing with a serious lack of sleep, lots of bloating and nausea right now. Things are not amazing. When can I expect to feel better? I was unable to hold anything down for the first two days after surgery, but I was dismissed today. Excited for my new life to begin, but right now I'm in a lot of pain
