For the April 2014 bypass folks who joined the group but can't figure out the navigation, this link will take you to the discussion part of it. I have tried to keep up and invite everyone I find who is having bypass in April.

Congrats to you all I'm May 5.

Hello All,

My surgery date is in April 28th. I am taking one week off. My doctor requires one day liquid diet which is before surgery . I need to lose 5-10 pounds it's not easy. My Nutritionist had everyone on a 2 shake a day for breakfast /lunch ,2 yogurts for snack a day, and dinner is one piece of meat and greens. It's so hard. I feel like I'm starving. Headaches are being to come. I have my good and bad days. Today is a good day.

How is Everyone else doing?

My surgery date is also April 28th. Im getting things together see what I like although I hear my taste will completely change. Im normally one that can tolerate things I don't like so we will see. Good luck.

Now til surgery I can have only lean meat and mash potatoes cooked veggies and low fat yogurt eggs and cheese , soup containing veggies and meat not noodles and after that it will alternate my snack with sugar free jello or applesauce and continue with lots of water and more clears than anything to shrink my liver

Omg you're lucky! Lol this protein shake for breakfast and lunch n 4 oz meat, half cup veggies for supper preop diet I'm on sucks!! Day four and I'm so hungry!!!!

Proudmomma83 I feel your pain! I am on day 4 of my 2 week liquid only diet! I can have a shake for breakfast, lunch and dinner and only sf jello or 8oz of broth twice a day for a snack. My first and second day was really hard! Day 3 and 4 not so bad.

I am nervous about the liquid diet myself. Surgery date April 28 and have to be on liquids 14 days leading up to surgery. I have been pushing back from heavy foods for about a week in preparation. More plain yogurts, cottage cheese, sf jello, salads no meat. Im Good with that but its still food only liquids for 2 weeks is going to be a real challenge!

I'm on day 3 and I'm starving I'm trying not to eat as much just focusing on drinking tons of water I should have protein shakes but they don't cut my taste as of now I'll prepare them for post surgery

I do have one shake per day those get me through. I really hope I don't have an issue with them after the surgery.

Day one was the worst! The hardest part is still making meals for my son (single mom) n having to have a shake myself! I keep telling myself 10 more days today!! Lol

Yea it sucks I have to cook my traditional rice and beans for my bf and reg meat and pasta ugh things I love and I can't have especially my bread ???? but in the end I know it will be worth it . We can all do this just one day at a time if we slip we can get back up no one is perfect

It will be worth all of the struggles in the end! I am a stay at home mom of four and when I make meals for them instead of getting stressed about not being able to eat with them I just remind myself I am doing this for them!
