Gillian, you dont know?:glare::laugh: Arent you on it?

Does this diet last for a week or 2?

Geez, cutting down on the fags, no alcohol, no food, can I have s*x???:thumbup::w00t::laugh:

Been reading some of the 'after op' experiences......a bit scarey for me, as I dont remember having any pain, except when I had to sort of lower myself onto the loo for wee wees.

After the op, I was actually back in my room, painting my nails and yakking to my daughters on the phone, then sleeping, the day and night wizzed by and it was soon time for me to fly home.

I had to ask for a seat belt extension though as my tummy was tender, and the cabin crew were great, it wasnt a problem I just said I had had surgery on my tum.

That was on Flybe.

So I hope I have the same sort of experience this time, I dont feel nervous about the op, as I'll be out of it.

I hope all you girlies who are getting banded soon, have the same experiences as me and will come back and tell us all about it.:thumbs_up:

well freckles i am trying (david will tell you that i am very trying!)..but diet not going too brill.so dr chris will prob tell me off! gillian x

Well I told Glyn (partner) that you weren't allowed sex following surgery until you were down to at least a size 10! Best not let the men get together and find out any different!

Yeh everyone has 2 do the pre op diet cos it shrinks your liver and that makes it easier for dr chris 2 operate x:smile2:

Hi wishfull, my pre op diet not going very well I'm afraid. I have tried to cut back in some areas but don't want to lose too much cos my BMI is about borderline anyway so don't want to get there, having lost a bit and then them refuse to do it, would be traumatised if that happened! I am hoping the fact that I don't have so much fatty stuff in my diet anyway will mean my liver is not too much like a big greasy lump! Roll on next Thursday, bigsister x.

Hi Gillian, I'm feeling exactly like you, I just want it to be over and done with now:bored:. Three weeks and it will all be over. I ordered my Euros from an internet site yesterday as they were offering a good rate- I'm crossing my fingers and everything else that they deliver the money on time as promised:) I'm never off Youtube after watching Miss Flump's video and not all the stories are positive. I just hope ours is a success and no holes appear!! Hope you and all the other people who have started their pre-op diet are doing well. Good luck to you, bigsister and wishfull - not long now:thumbup: T x

Hi TC, thanks for your good wishes, same goes here for you as you are not far behind us. Glad you got a good deal on your euros, my son advised me to get mine just over a week ago as he reckoned it was not going to improve for some time so I ended up getting the worst rate possible I think! Will tell him to hand his Xmas money back to make up for his bad advice! I haven't had much time to feel nervous (unlike sister gillian who spends all day looking at n posting on this forum!), I am too busy having to put extra hours in at work so that I can take enough time off to recover. Its a bit unfortunate it has come at the end of a leave year for me but wasn't going to wait until it was more convenient! Take care, bigsister x

Hi Freckles, you will still have 9 days once you come back off your holiday to do the diet which will still make a difference. I agree, grab it if that's the only doubt you have, bigsister x.

Does anyone know what hotel is nearest to the hospital...so i havent got to mess about waiting for taxis, or is this not possible?

My daughter went to Brussels last year for liposuction and she ended up having to get a train to her hospital as the hotel told her the taxis didnt run so early in the morning.

I dont want to be in that position.

Thanx girls xx

      Hey everyone!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
