One week before.



Recommended Posts

Hi there

I am from London and i am currently one week bf the gastric bypass surgery. As pre op diet i have been already on shakes only diet for a week and still have 6 more days to go. I can't believe my scale as it dropped 5.5kg this week!!!! But today i found my self craving to chew st and i can't get it out of my head!!!!

More about me... am 30 and been overweight my whole life...had few hard years and weight when way way up....to the point when i didn't feel comfortable anymore. Other reason is me and my hubby have been trying for a baby for the last four years and have no "medical" reasons why we are not succeeding. The hope is with my weight gone i will increase my chances. ...

Its good to have a place to share the personal experiences. ..

The need to chew is a tough one during pre-op diet. I can only tell you to occupy your mind with something else so you don't think about it. You only have 6 more days before surgery, so just get through it. You will be on liquids for a few weeks after surgery as well, but the big difference will be that you really won't be hungry.

Good Luck!

Chew on ice and sugar free popsicles! I did not have a liquid only yet but I've seen many people do this and recommend it. Good luck to you, both with surgery and trying to conceive. :) I'll be in that boat as well in the next few years...

      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'. ???

        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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
