April 25th here... still powering through the 2 week preop liquid only diet... Tuesday can't get here fast enough. I made the mistake of eating half of a small salad (it's my birthday for goodness sake)... and I'm paying for it, bigtime. Back to the liquids... lesson learned

April 25th RNY!

My Bypass is April 4th. I am new to this group. I am excited and nervous at the same time. The diet is going well though I did cheat a little one day. Hopefully it won’t matter since I am on the pre-op diet for 24 days. I have already lost over 10 lbs!

Good luck! I know it's a lot of work and it seems to take forever to get a date for surgery but you will. Enjoy the journey. You will learn so much about yourself in the process.

9 out of 12 supervised weight loss visits done
sleep study done
Abdominal ultrasound done
H. Pylori test done

Now I have 3 more weigh ins and an endoscopy left to do. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my insurance will approve this swiftly & I can get the May date I want.

I'm doing that as we speak.

April 5th! I started my low carb pre-op diet a few days ago and have been having the worst headaches. Anyone else have that happen? Will it go away?

Hello I am new to this group. I am having the DS on April 4, 2023. I am starting my 2 week diet today.

My surgery is tomorrow and I can't wait to start losing weight. Where are all my March buddies that are scheduled this month let's support each other.

I'm scheduled for April 3rd!! I've thought about doing this for so long and now its REALLY happening!

Congratulations on your date! Sending positive thoughts for a smooth, successful surgery and recovery. I have an upper endoscopy on Wednesday, when my surgeon will look at my hiatal hernia and ulcer which he will fix during my RYN when it is scheduled. But, he will cut some polyps off on Thursday so I will be on a liquid diet Thursday and Greek yogurt for two weeks afterward so I feel you. You have a scheduled date! That's exciting!

I started the Seattle Sutton Healthy Eating program. I thought I was eating lightly but after beginning this program with portion sized meals, I have definitely realized that I wasn't. I've only lost 18 lbs since my first weigh in. I did lose 3 this week though. Congratulations on your successes. You should be so proud of yourself!

Wow. Having surgery during the pandemic must have been challenging. I do notice that I'm in a nesting pattern so I smiled when I read that you were too. I'm a 2nd grade teacher and I hope to get back to work after 2 weeks. I'm extremely hopeful that I will be able to. Reading the forums definitely helps as I try to distract myself. Congratulations on your progress. Thank you for your reply.

It will go by faster than you think. Just keep following the plan.
