I start my Pre op diet today. I am neverous about the surgery but excited and happy at the same time. I have my own business so the main thing I am worried about is recovery time.

Hello everyone I am new to the site. My surgery date is July 31 and I have 200+ to lose.

Hey Repo! We have the same date!! Only 2 weeks to go! How are you feeling? My mind can't make itself up. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Good luck with your journey! ;)

I am from Vermont, but am having my surgery in upstate NY. There is a lake across from the hospital with the beautiful Adirondack mountains in the background, it is very soothing. I started my liquid diet yesterday, I was only required to do 9 days but wanted to make sure I had a handle on it by the time I needed to start. I don't mind it too much, I did a Liquid Protein diet 13 years ago...if only the weight would stay off after you loose it. I am very excited to get the sleeve done. Best of luck on your journey!

Congrats on getting your date! I just started the process and have to do the 6 month medically supervised weight loss before the insurance will approve it. Surgery seems like a long way off, but I know the time will go by fast.

Hi Ayrika! I have the same feelings...mostly excitement, but then some times get a bit nervous. I had a similar surgery a year ago in the abdomen area, so I am anticipating the same recovery(hopefully!). Best of luck and I will be thinking of you.

Yes praldous, I am having Dr. Hill. It has been a long journey for me. I went to the initial meeting March 2008, had all the test and about to send to insurance and I lost my job and insurance. Last June when I had insurance, I recompleted the tests and they were subitting to insurance. On July 11th I was diagnosed with stage 3b colon cancer...so now I have had the colon resection (at AMC) and 6 months of treatment followed by a 3 month wait for my CT scan...it was clear! They were excellent about only having me repeat a couple of necessary tests and I was approved right away by my insurance. I will be meeting Dr.Hill next week for the first time since 4 years ago...I can't wait. Everyone that ever has him for a doctor does nothing but sing his praises. How are you doing since surgery?

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!
