Surgery date approaching



Recommended Posts

I'm having surgery December 30th. I'm nervous im down from 523 to 477 to prepare for surgery. What are the first few weeks like? Can you only take liquid vitamins the first two weeks? Can you take the dissolving gasx? I'm supposed to be having the gastric bypass but my doctor said he may have to do a sleeve depending on my liver

Congrats! I am 6 weeks out and from reading this site you can tell all doctors have differ plans lol I could do gasx and my doctor gave of a RX a stronger form of it but I didnt need it...I had to take tylenol for pain every 6 hours the first couple days, I got sf liquid from hospital pharmacy before going home so I didnt have to crush. I was also given liquid oxy but I only used that for sleep for the first 5 days. I was told no Vitamins until my 4th week check up and than its just the multi no Calcium til 8 week check up.

your first couple weeks your just focused on getting Water and Protein in this alone is an all day job in between walking and napping lol

Good luck!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
