I'm scheduled for tomorrow to have the Bypass and I'm super nervous and excited at the same time. I have a feeling of being unprepared. I have my hospital bag, pain meds and all the essentials but it feels like I'm unprepared. I had 8 days of the liver shrinking liquid diet and I didn't do so well. The 1st couple of days were rough so I cheated. The last 3 days I've been basically starving myself. (Water and Protein shake) I'm nervous that it won't be enough. I would be crushed if I couldn't have the surgery or something went wrong because of my negligence. Had anyone experienced that will a large BMI. I'm so nervous.

Hey don't worry will be fine I'm just home just add gastric sleeve went in on Monday back home now still a long way to go but it's a new journey good luck [emoji6]

Thanks. I'm praying. Congrats!!! How are you feeling?

I feel fine was abit scared but that's normal the only pain I have is the gas what they pump into you to get around but it comes and goes apart from that getting around the meds you have to take after souls be worth it In the end stay strong x

hey girl!!! my BMI WAS 64. MY PROGRAM DIDNT HAVE THE LIVER SHRINKING TECHNIQUE. I had a one day liquid diet and almost died. lol. I struggled for that one day. I chewed food and spit it out. I am telling you it will be worth it. in the long run. I am 8 months out and my only issue is the nausea. lol

@bsweeetness I'm a little less worried. But I also heard horror stories about the liver getting punctured and trouble happening. I'm glad everything work out for you. How much did you lose?

@Justweight as of today I am down to 285 from 411. Surgery was 6/14/16. I miss soda pop and Pasta lol. but glad I turned a new leaf.

On my pre opp diet i lost 6k I got home this morning from opp feel ok

@bsweetness you look amazing. Have you experienced loose skin at all.

I think the preop diet was so much harder than postop. You'll do fine! Best of luck tomorrow!!

You'll be fine. Just relax. After surgery it helps to ask for help. Don't try to lay on your belly. I learned the hard way. And having a pillow at all times helps a million. I'm a week out and have learned so much. Pillow for my abdomen has been a life saver. And having a recliner as well. Getting a body pillow helps a lot too. My prayers will be with you tonight.

You will be fine! I had (still have) a high BMI, my program didn't have a liver shrink diet at all either, just one day of liquids. I had surgery on Jan 25 and all went well. Keep walking after surgery no matter how much it stinks. And remember that every single day will get a little bit easier. Best of luck!

Thanks all
