October Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! Sorry for my delay in posting. My surgery went well good on the 9th. No complications at all. I don't remember being wheeled into or out of surgery. I was really worried about post op pain & I had none. I stayed 3 nights in the hospital which consisted of walking & resting. I am able to tolerate liquids as if I didn't have surgery. I have to be careful not to guzzle fluids. I thought I would have trouble sipping but that's no issue. I'm gettining in popsicles' date=' pudding, Jello, Carnation Instant Breakfast, G2 gatorade & creamed Soups. Is there something that I'm missing? I feel like I'm not getting enough of my fluids/protein in. (?) I wasn't given any instructions from discharge at the hospital. I know someone will come along & help me out here. Thank you for your insight!!

Congrats to those how had surgery with me!![/quote']

My surgery was on the 9th as well! My nutritionist/surgeon said to get in 64 oz of sugar free liquids a day and drink 1 oz Protein Shake every 15 min.

My last day of my liquid diet. Even managed to go out and watch a football game at bar yesterday. Took my mug of warm broth' date=' drank Water and a container of muscle milk light. I made it thru the wings and celery and chicken wrap and frys around me but almost lost it for the pretzel.

Heading to the office to wrap up some paperwork, finish up cleaning and packing then Ill be ready to go to the hospital at 530 tomorrow AM.

Its taken this whole year to get to now and I AM READY.

Is there any one else out there with surgery tomorrow?

Speedy recovery to all those who are postop and here's to seeing you on the losers bench.Blessings to all those having surgery this week and thru the end of October.[/quote']

My surgery is tomorrow as well. I have to be there by 630 and surgery at 8. Praying for all my October buddies as well.

Hello every1 I had my surgery on the 8th and came home on the 10th I didnt want anything to do with food it turned my stomach to smell chix broth, but im doing much better now I had that pain on the left side that every1 has. The only thing is I have a pulling feeling on the left my surgeon says it is absolutely normal, so outside of feeling week due to lack of food and the pulling on the left im doing great. Im still taking pain meds but not much longer, today was a Great Day my surgeon ROCKS.

      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'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        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!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
