That is amazing maria. I definatley will keep you in the loop so you know what to expect, and you can ask me anything. Im starting my preop diet tomorrow, not looking forward to it.

Hi, my gastric bypass surgery is scheduled on July 28th, just 8 days after you. I am feeling the same as you.

I am starting my pre-op diet Wed., fun fun! Shall be interesting how the two weeks go. Got my decaf coffee and Keurig ready, Vitamins, even bought a Brita Water filtration pitcher to ensure I keep hydrated. Even have all my Muscle Milk Light Concentrate Isolate Protein shake mix and quick Premier Protein Drink bottles, broth, Jello, etc. Are you ready?

Yes actually I bought baby spoons and a baby plate that has 3 different slots and I'm so happy I did the spoons help me keep to just a little taste of Jello. Because even when you are on that diet you still take big bites sometimes that helps you not do so

That's amazing! Congrats on your surgery, and good luck with your success!!!

I am the same day as you, July 20th, and could use a pal too! Feel free to message me! We can support each other along the way. [emoji4]

Yay! Found out my insurance company approved and cleared me for gastric bypass surgery this Thursday, July 28th. What a relief, whew! I have heard horror stories where people find out they were not approved by insurance company the day before or day of surgery. I have 4 more days, excited and nervous, but excited about the journey. How is everyone else doing?

I had my RNY bypass on the 21st. I feel great! Still a little gassy, but when it moves somewhere uncomfortable I move around then it moves and I'm back to ok. Luckily had some bowel movements on day two and that helped a lot!

That's great Harsha! I remember having horrible gas pains after my hysterectomy. After you have a bowel movement it helps, and also the gas-x film that melts on your tongue helped. I actually picked some up today in preparation. How is going with energy and food?

Energy wise I'm a little tired... I half feel like it's from not being able to sleep at he hospital. It was like hourly someone was checking my monitors.. my blood pressure.. blood sugar levels.. taking blood..putting antibiotics in my drip.. giving me a blood thinner shot... it was NEVER ENDING!

HI fat2foxy. I'm doing alright, it's been a bit of a difficult journey thus far. But I'm hanging in and it gets better day by day. :)
