Hey all! I looked around and couldn't find anything for June surgeries. I don't have my exact date yet, but it will be the 1st or 2nd week of June!! Sooo excited!! I had my lap band out on April 18th and they were supposed to do the bypass, but they weren't able to due to scar tissue. I saw my surgeon today and all should be a go for June! Yay!!!! RNY here I come!!!

My last weekend before surgery! Won't be going out to dinner since I am on the liquid diet, but hope to take in a movie, maybe get out on a lake if the weather cooperates. Still very disappointed in the results of the liquid diet. I have followed it to the letter and have only lost 2 pounds. Only taking in about 700 - 800 calories a day plus working out. However I have lost 35 pounds since April. I talked to the NUT at my clinic and they know I am doing everything right, so even if the weight loss is not there on Tuesday, it will not jeopardise my surgery. Apparently the amount of weight I have lost is pretty rare compared to most of their patients. You know it dawns on me that this is why this surgery is so important to me. In the past when I would hit a point like this I would give up and go back to old habits. There is no going back after Tuesday!

Sitting in pre op waiting to be wheeled in. Wish me luck

LUUUCK!! ????

I am having surgery on Tues and have also been on a preop diet, although restricted to 1000 cal/day and haven't seen huge results. But like you I was working on losing before this and have lost 26 lbs. I think it's why we're not seeng those big numbers now. But we will soon!

I wish they hadn't set me up for the disappointment. They told us most patients lose 10 - 15 pounds. I had stars in my eyes thinking I would go into surgery 40 - 50 pounds down. Sometimes reality is the hardest pill to swallow! I know that those numbers can't be far away. We will both be there very soon!

Surgeon was just in and said my xrays they took this morning looked really good and i will be able to start phase 1 of the diet, which is juice and jello, up until now it's been ice chips only.

Surgery was yesterday morning. It took a little under 3 hours to remove the band and convert to bypass. Haven't really had much regular pain and no gas pain at all. I've been up walking 3 times, once last night and twice today. I'm so happy and blessed. I know everyone has a different experience but I had mentally prepared myself for the worst. I'm so glad that my pain and discomfort are at a minimum. My biggest complaint at this point is a dry mouth and I can't even have ice chips until day 2 after surgery, so tomorrow. God is so good!

I felt the same way after my surgery. I had also worked it up to be so awful, but I have had a great recovery so far. I am 2 and a half weeks out. Keep your positive attitude, it will go a long way!
