Hi everyone I am new to this site and having revision surgery next week from band to bypass and would love some suggestions of food to buy before I go into to the hospital and some comments about what to expect. I am excited but very nervous at the same time. Looking forward to reading your comments.

welcome welcome welcome. You will find a lot of info here as well as support, The few things I think you should have for sure (because a lot depends on what your doc wants you to have) sugar free Jello, sugar free Popsicles Water, crystal light, maybe low sugar gatorade or propel. and some low fat chicken and beef broth. Those are things you should be able to eat pretty soon, then the other stages come in when your doc or nut says. Wishing you the very best. I will be following you on Dec 5 if I can get my blood sugars to go down. The only problem I have had with the band is didn't lose very much weight and it didn't help the diabetes at all. I have had mine for seven years. I do feel that if nothing else the band has kept me from gaining more weight then i would have without it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
