I'm scheduled for October 26. I have to be there at 6 am to be registered. Getting nervous it's almost here. The post op diet is not to bad. Two shakes and one meal for dinner. Anyway I would like to here from others & your experience & what your pre op diet is like.

Good luck to all my fellow bypass patients! Big day for us tomorrow, I am so ready and can't wait. 5am is too far away!

Good luck!! Hope you have an easy day! Right behind you on Wednesday with my sleeve!

Good luck to anyone on the 27th and 28th!!! 5am sees very far away. Can't wait to start my new "losing life" at 9 am!!!!

I'm in Australia and my surgery date was 26th October too. Today I begin clear fluids. Still feeling a bit bloated and gassy though. I'm due to be discharged tomorrow. I'm really glad this is what I decided to do. The pre-op was so thorough, and I'm keen to begin a new life. Good luck all!

Glad all is going well! Take care of yourself. Everything I've read and heard is to walk every hr to get rid of the air. I go in tomorrow for mine at 7am.

@@perk4756, hope you're doing well!!!

Hello hope everyone is doing well!!!! Tell how your experience is going so far!!!! So far so good with my its day 3 post op!! Feeling a little less sore this morning and have a little more energy! One of my incisions are a little sore but that's it! Got my 60 grams of protein in yesterday well a little more than 60! It was a struggle but I got it by last night sometime. Staying hydrated is what I'm really focusing on at this point. Ready to hear from you all now!!! Smooth recovery love sending out to everybody!!!! ????????

@@laylay33 hey girl. glad youre doing ok. what are using for protein and liquids??

Hey guys! I was sleeves the 10/28. Still having quite a bit of pain to abd and back. No nausea and I have been tolerating clear liquid diet well. Can't wait tomorrow is puréed! See the doc on Friday to remove my staples. It was tougher than I expected. How are you guys doing?

10/26 sleeved. Feeling better everyday, but still not getting all of my protein and water. I feel like i could float away lol. I did drive finally yesterday and did well. I still have a good amount of belly discomfort on my incisions but manageable. 20 lbs down since starting 2 weeks of liquids before surgery up until now 1 week post op

I was also sleeved the 28th and each day getting more liquids in but still not much. Losing great! I can't do puréed til next week.

I'm meeting my nurse and dietician today and my doc next week. My clinic doesn't tell you about the next diet stage until this appointment so you don't get food overload - so I'm very excited. I was 114kg when I began the pre-op diet, I was 109kg for surgery and I'm 104kg today.

I use Bodiez Protein Water to get my protein in. The Kiwi and the Berry flavour are 30g each. The bottles are 500ml, so one of these a day helps with protein and water, and they're quite nice (considering I don't like cordial I didn't think I'd like flavoured water). I've also been buying some of the Woolworths soups from the dairy case. The chicken or lamb type ones are low in fat but high in protein, and I just blitz/blender them for a few secs until they become a complete liquid.

Hope all is going well for everyone xoxo
