Yaaaay, I lost 8 lbs on this preop diet! I still have 9 more days to go. Can't wait!!!!

Surgery date: May 14, 2013

I had my GI scan w/contract to make sure no leaks. The stuff tasted like pine sol. Gross. But' date=' everything checked out. They have me doing to the spirometer tests alot. They started me on liquid Lortab since they took away the morphine pump. I this real hard to get the liquids in. I didn't expect it to be this difficult. I just think I'm still in shock that I've done this and won't be fat the rest of my life.[/quote']

I had a gastrography scan last week, that contrast liquid taste like draino, pine sol and a whole lot of liquid hell!

Debbie wow 8lbs already that's great girl keep it up today is my first day on the liquid diet omg let's see how it goes lol ohh and what protein shake are you using

Met with my surgeon again today. Hoping to released sometime this evening. It feels so surreal after the surgery is done. That's all I have been thinking about. Thinking, wow, I can't believe I've actually done this and I WON'T BE FAT FOREVER! Such a cool feeling because now it's reality there's no more questions about the surgery getting done for some dumb reasons. I can't wait for all of you! And thanks for all the support and prayers! This is the best birthday present to myself ever!

I no it dont seem real to me yet. Ive been doing test n 6th mth diet so I will be finished may 14 then 2wk wait on ins. Then a 2wk pre op diet. I'm so ready.

I was having sleeve but my ins. Has a hold on all sleeves so its the bypass.

Does anyone no which one u actually lose the Most weight with? Ive come to far. I want it to get here.!

I hope I feel this way after my surgery. I'm having serious panic issues right now. I think I'm more terrified about having the surgery then afterwards. I've never had any procedure that put me under like this. Just trying to keep busy.......keep us posted when you get home

I'm down 28 pds on this liquid diet and I just have the rest of today and tomorrow. I'm on clear liquids on Monday (that is really going to suck) and surgery on Tuesday. Having serious anxiety issues right now but I think I'll be ok. Good luck to those that are in the beginning stages of the liquid diet. You all are awesome and can do it

You actually lose more weight with bypass vs sleeve and for my surgery buddies that had surgery this week or prior is anyone else bruised?

Thnx. That what I've heard.

I corrected the crazy words in my original post. Lol

Hi guys just wanted to post update. I have been taken off the operation list for Monday 6 May my bloods were apparently not encouraging and surgeon wants me to resolve the elevated liver enzymes before the roux en y. Not quite sure what to make of this second postponement. I'm praying that my liver is ok and bloods improve. I suppose being cautious is prudent. I thought the gall bladder was the problem but there seems to be a concern that in case it's not i may not be healthy enough to proceed with the wls. I wish everyone the best if I'm cleared for surgery I think I'll post operation instead of raising my hopes up. But I'll continue learning from all of you and trying to loose on the protein diet. All the best to upcoming surgeries.

I was released today from the hospital. They just checked all 7 of my incisions and took out my drainage tube' date=' which felt really weird coming out! She told me right now water is more important than protein until I can get them both going. So I've been sip sip sipping all day. I suggest bringing crystal light packets, it will definitely make all the water easier to choke down. I left the hospital weighing 7lbs more than when I went in because of all of the air they put in. My surgeon also gave me pics of my new stomach inside and they did find a hernia which she repaired while she was in there also.
