March Surgery Dates

[Gurlygirlrcr80 95]

March 6th is my surgery and I just have my pre-op appointment on 2/20 and then I start my liquid diet super excited! 35 more days!

[one day at a time 30]

Had my surgery class last night! It was very informative. I found out I'll be using a feeding tube (g-tube) the first four weeks to help me get in my fluids and Protein. I'll have a Blake drain for the first two weeks and I have to drink one blue Powerade every day and if I see the blue in the Blake drain then Houston' date=' we have a problem. Anyone else heard of this? I've never seen any thing about a g-tube on here.[/quote']

For the Bypass surgery? Something sounds silly. All the research and I've never heard of this.

My surgery is 25 March--so ready for this. Hoping to get off the diabetes roller coaster. Am worried about the 2 week pre-surgery diet since I'm at bottom of where they will allow surgery. I'm doing this to try and beat the diabetes complications. Ladies in my nutrition class yesterday told me I was too skinny for this surgery. At 5'5" and 212 pounds I'm not exactly Olive Oil! Got to do what's best for my health. Tricare hoops were a pain but surgery day will be here before I know it!

Me too! I don't know how I'm' going to do it, but I know I have too. My problem is how will I stop drinking coke?!?

I'm fortunate that I don't drink pop but I'm having a hard time with sweets! I have been avoiding them but it has NOT been easy...I walk away from it but the craving sticks around for a while. Donuts r the hardest to walk away from for me...I have a good friend that I work with that is addicted to diet coke so I understand the problem lol. I just keep repeating "nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels". And I'm quiting smoking...so you have my full sympathy lol
