Pre-Op Gastric Bypass



Recommended Posts

It is totally normal. It is a very tough time, but it gets easier about day 3 or 4. Lots of broth, lots of sugar free popsicles, lots of tea.... You will get through it. Just try and keep reminding yourself of you are working for and how worth it that it will all be in the end. Good luck! You got this!!

I'm right there with you. I just started the clear liquid diet and I literally don't trust myself to be near food right now!! And I feel waterlogged!!

And the headaches....arg! Detoxing I guess.

It will be all worth it (my mantra) :)

Hey hun today I officially start day for of pre-op liquid diet. It gets easier and yes at first you will be HUNGRY. To help I took ice and blended my Protein shakes with it (once or twice a day) it helped to make me feel more fool- even if it was just ice lol

Hope Your Day is Great,

I only have to do is a one week liquid diet. I'm on day 5. Weekend I'm finding harder since I'm not at work. Normally weekends were my "cheat days" we're I'd eat more than I would during the week.

So, only being able to eat certain things at a certain times is hard but I'm dealing. Sadly, I have been craving food like crazy. Mostly food I would never crave. This whole process is really weird.

I am always surprised to hear about other pre op diets. Mine is restrictive but not liquid at all. I can have 800 calories and 80 or more of Protien. They gave me a menu sample and lots of yogurts lean meats etc .i know I will miss caffeine the most and my glass of wine with dinner!

I'm sure I will be whining about the lack of wine.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
