Having my gastric byapass on May 12th



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

My name is Rossella and I am looking for someone that is going to the process of having their surgery around May 12th so that we can support each other. I live in Arlington, VA but location is irrelevant, moral support can be from everywhere. I also just started my pre-op diet yesterday april 28th.

I am excited and scared at the same time...

I am too having my surgery on the 18th. So far I got lucky I don't have to do the pre-op diet. The more and more I think about the upcoming date the scarier it feels.

I am having bypass on May 10th. Today is my 6th day on the pre-op liquid diet and so far it has not been nearly as hard as I thought it would be. I'm really not hungry but have occasional bouts of the munchies - you know, when you wander in the kitchen just looking around for something to eat. When that happens I have a Protein drink and it goes away. I'm getting so excited as the surgery date gets closer! I live in Maryland - not too far from you!

I have mine May 17 and starting preop tomorrow.

Thinking about what a change I am in for from this point on

But looking for it to happen.

I am having my surgery on May 16th... go in tomorrow for my pre-op/diet appointment. I'm not sure exactly what my diet will entail, but I'm thinking liquids only for 10 days... I'm sure I'll be on here whining about this soon! LOL

So exciting, and so surreal... I can't wait, yet, I'm nervous too... I just really hope it all goes well!

I'm having my surgery on 11th May -exactly 1 week today!!! I go from being wildly excited, to being quite panicky ????

I live in Adelaide, Australia. Hopefully we can support each other online. Very interested to hear how you and all the others are coping with things...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
