Hi, I am booked for a Gastric Bypass on June 10th. It's something I have dreamed of for years but I am also so scared of the op and the future! Would love to chat to others in the same position. Thanks.

Hi Bypass Buddy :) I am still trying to wrap my head around this. I am scheduled for the 10th but a recent change to the RNY has left me scrambling for info. Was the RNY your first choice?

My date is June 9th. RNY was my first choice. I have sleep apnea and GERD. The reflux scared me away from any consideration of the sleeve. Anything that might potentially make this reflux worse is OFF my list!

Honestly, I don't see the hesitation about bypass versus sleeve. The bypass is the gold standard and most common and tested surgery. The % of excess body weight lost is better with the bypass and I see so many people on this site revising from sleeve to bypass. I wanted to go with what would give me the best success.

Of course, it's scary to think about malabsorption but my surgeon told me that newer research is showing that it is not as bad and they first thought. And besides, with either surgery you have to take Vitamins anyway -- I don't see a big difference.

Just my 2 cents and I completely understand you're feeling whammied by the last minute change. That would have thrown me for a loop too. I had an emergency c-section with my first baby and I was devastated But with bypass or sleeve, the aftercare isn't that much different and I think you'll do fine as long as you prepare yourself mentally.

I am booked for the10th! I can't wait!! My surgeon doesn't require a liquid diet, just that I don't gain any weight before surgery. I had my first Protein shake this morning. It wasn't too bad. I got it down no problem.

I have my pre-open June 4th.

Hi,band was my original choice as I was petrified of bypass but don't want to have band and then need more ops later so took the plunge and went for the bypass.

I am very nervous of the op and the pain afterwards but trying not to think too much about that and am taking things one day at a time.

Nice to have others having their op on the same day, hope we can support each other x

Well liquid diet going quite well today, the headache I had for three days has thankfully now gone and I haven't felt that hungry today,drinking loads of Water and feeling quite good today!

How are the rest of you getting on?

Well, this day 4, I was an emotional rollercoaster last night. I do really well in the morning and fade as the day goes on. By evening, I'm hungry, grumpy and tired. Hoping this will pass as I get used to things. Fortunately those around me have been very forgiving. Trying to even out my Protein intake through the day and not 6 hours apart, hope that will help.

I'm having a really hard time with the liquid diet. I'm so hungry and the hunger pangs are so strong I can't say no to food. It's healthy food, but still... I'm scheduled for surgery this Tuesday (3rd). Does anyone know if it's a big deal to eat some and switch to liquids the day before?

I want to say, yes, it matters. You can't have anything except what the surgeon says you can. Because this is what I tell myself, knowing that aboslutes are easier for me to follow.

Will it help you to know that some doctors don't require a pre-op diet at all, except for the one day of clear liquid and fasting required by all such surgeries?

sorry I can't really answer your question but I feel for you-yesterday I felt AWFUL with the hunger pangs I thought i was going to go mad! BUT today is another day and thankfully a lot easier. Hope someone can help you find the answer x

I am also scheduled for June 10th and am finding the liquid diet very difficult. I also have been having headaches and fatigue.

From what I have researched and what my surgeon said I think I really have to stick to the liquid diet. The surgeon told met I had to so my liver shrinks.

I know how hard this diet is!! I wish I had some good advice to help. I really hope I can stick to it until June 10th.

The first three days were hell, but now on day 4 I am doing better. My emotions were all over. Fat stores hormones and losing weight has released them. God help my family & friends through this. Spreading out my Protein has helped, but I really struggle at night.

I have two to three Protein shakes an 4-6 oz of meat with some leafy greens each day. Its hard to stick to but im doing my best.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
