Anyone have November surgery date?



Recommended Posts

Hi

My date is the 19th Nov. I'm so excited!!!! A little nervous but trying not to think about it. Just thinking about the day I can go into a regular clothes shop and not feel like the sales assistant is thinking to herself "what the hell is she doing in our shop" "nothing in your size here!"

Good luck everyone!

Thank you cancer91,

I am 50, starting weigh 254, down to 233 this morning, I just finished week one of my pre op diet, (I had started higher Protein less carbs before my pre op) a week to go my surgery is scheduled for the 23rd.

The first few days on the liquid diet were difficult, now I'm not hungry forcing myself to drink the Protein Shakes (which I order through unjury)

You can add a scoop of Peanut Butter flavor protein to SF chocolate milk when you need something sweet, or a ice and strawberry flavored protein for a smoothie; those are just a couple of my favorites.

During the first few days struggles I'll share a few things that worked for me.

I had made chocolate chip Cookies for the grandchildren...the temptation got the best of me I had a very very small bite chewed real good and then spit it out I did that three times and that craving was satisfied, another time I licked a chicken nugget just two licks lol.

Well that's me up to date ;). I'd love to hear more of your stories.

My gastric by pass surgery is scheduled for 11/24/15. I am nervous and excited. I am ready to start a new chapter.

My surgery is on the 24th too! I am super excited, but also really nervous.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
