Good news, this morning I got the tube out. Then I got to have Clear Liquids and oh man did they taste and feel so darn good! This evening I had a bowel movement, which was a very welcomed surprise.

Sorry. Not even sure my office does a test. Although they did say, not quitting could cancel the surgery

6 weeks out and am happy as a clam I did this. Down almost 50lbs. 4 weeks post op was a huge goal of being able to eat fish. The shakes Soups and yogurts were starting to get to me. Now 6 weeks out I’m still not hungry and eat 3-5 is of solid food chix, fish, chopped meat Turkey , sausage, beef!!!shrimp is actually the easiest for me. So good luck and follow your plan. Also walking and weights 5-6x a week.

Hey all I FINALLY have a date for sleeve surgery! March 30th!

I start my liquid diet today so far so good. I do feel a little nausea from taking my medicine and Vitamins without food but overall not hungry YET. Good luck to you all!!

I started my pre-op diet today too. I don't have diabetes so I don't need to worry about my sugars going crazy so good luck. I know that can be hectic at times.
So far so good with me, but I imagine the morning and early day will be easier and the evenings will be harder. I always tend to be hungrier in the evening time and it is when I consume most of my calories.
Good luck to both of us, and anyone else on on the pre-op diet currently!

Day 1 of the modified liquid diet. Going to have to watch my blood sugars. I've got to see how they react to Breakfast and lunch being Protein Drinks and a low carb/high Protein dinner. Right now they were too low to need to take insulin when I'm not sure how they are going to react to the liquid meal. I'm not complaining though lol!

Good luck!

Pre-op appointment today. 2 week pre-op diet starts Monday. I've got to get some blood work and an ekg. My surgery is a revision. Distillation of my gastric bypass. It is out patient, I'll be home same day. They aren't doing anything with my pouch which is why it's out patient. I'm excited for the 21st to get here.

I was going to start early, but my 50th birthday is two weeks after surgery, so we are having a pre-birthday celebration so I can eat cake lol

I'm home!! Surgery went well, but I had to stay an extra day because my new pouch was quite swollen and I had a ton of drainage in the drain my surgeon put in my abdomen. The only narcotic I got the whole time there was 1 oxycodone the evening after surgery. Otherwise I was given timed non-narcotic pain meds that worked great! I'm on them (Tylenol and Flexeril) for another few days. And because Constipation is so common I'm on Colace twice a day for 30 days.

Well I'm officially sleeved. March 2nd has come and gone. I'm at home typing this in my bed now. I was sooo nervous, I had never had any kind of surgery before. My appointment was at 1:30p but I got bumped up to 10am (someone tested positive for Covid and lost her spot). The scariest part to e was not waking up from being put under (strange? I know right... but you don't pick your fears. Ha!) All went well and I was discharged from the hospital today. I'm not in any pain, just a little gassy from the surgery. I wish you all well and I guess I have to find another post to type in now. Good Luck to the rest of you all. I hope your surgery goes smooth and by the book like mine did!

Good luck to everyone having surgery tomorrow!
I've got my final pre-op with the surgeon tomorrow. I'm expecting to get my pre-surgery diet instructions. I'm not nervous... I'm anxious to get to surgery day. It's been a long 9 month process of jumping through hoops with very low expectations of insurance approving my revision. Now that they have, I just want to get on to the next stage. I am ready for this stage. I'm all in. It's hard because my partner is having a sleeve bypass 1 month after I have my revision and she's in a much different mindset than I am. She's like "after the liquid phase, well be able to have whatever we want, just a bite or two" and I'm like "nope, I'm making healthy choices, I've been through this before, it truly is just a tool that will help you start those healthy habits so they stick long term"
My 50th birthday is two weeks after my surgery and she thinks I can have a bite of ice cream cake. I'm like, no. So we are having some of my favorite foods that she makes and my birthday cake Friday night. Still gonna have a bigger party actually on my birthday with family and friends but that's just to Celebrate and the food won't be an issue for me.
Wow lol that was a lot! I'm overdue for a session with my therapist. Lol

I have a surgery date of 3/16. I'm one week into my three-week Pre-op diet. So far I'm down 18.2lbs.! I'm super excited about my surgery and cannot wait for Rob 2.0 to thrive!

My surgery is Thursday, the 24th. Just a few days behind. Not sure if that's good or bad. But I'll be stalking you all for updates

I’m scheduled for 3/31. Very excited & nervous.

I'm on the 21st as well. I see my surgeon Thursday, so I'm not entirely sure about the diet/protocol they use prior to surgery until then. Good luck to you!

So exciting! Good luck tomorrow!

Welcome! I'm having my revision on the 21st!

You must be excited. I know I am, but it was a relief getting approved after the 6 month process. My surgeon has a crappy bedside manner (but is the best revision surgeon in the area) and stressed me out at our first meeting in pre-op for the egd, telling me getting insurance to pay for revisions is next to impossible but I can self pay. Single mom here, so no, I can't self pay. Needless to say, after the egd, he had to do more testing due to undigested food still in my pouch after a twelve hr fast, discovered slow motility and he was suddenly singing a different tune. "I will get this approved". I meet with him one last time on the 3rd for my pre-op instructions. I quit smoking for this and am determined to get to goal wait even if it is slower going.

I'll be watching and waiting to hear how things go for you!

March 21st for my revision. See my Dr for pre-op this Thursday. A lot has changed since my original surgery over 22 years ago. My Dr said I should be home same day, but we'll see.

March 21st is my surgery date for revision. Proximal gastric bypass to distal. Good luck to you.
