Anyone having surgery in November?



Recommended Posts

I am having surgery Nov 9th. I'm so excited alittle nervous though. I have been on liquid diet for the past week and it's not as bad as I thought it would be. 5 lbs down.

Anyone have a good post op Vitamin recommendation?

I have the same date! Yay! It won't be that long! :) on Vitamins, I went with the Bariatric Advantage chewable French vanilla for immediately post op and then I got the pill form for later in the month when it's OK to take pills again. The French vanilla are pretty good. They taste like cake mix before you add the eggs and Water.< /p>

Hi! My surgery date is Nov 10th. I'm a little nervous because I'm having my lapband removed, then getting the gastric bypass done. I'm currently on the pre-op diet, but not losing anything. My metabolism is totally screwed! Looking forward to success with the gastric bypass.

Any suggestions for someone like me who's allergic to whey Protein & whey protein isolate products? It's been tough, and I think post op will be challenging as well.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
