I have my appointment with the anesthesiologist tomorrow and scheduled for bypass surgery on May 30! I'm getting super nervous because I have never had surgery before

Ok ya'll....my surgery is the 24th. I begin my liquid diet the 17th...I am having such a hard time getting off the coffee in the morning. The head aches are awful. Today I had fasting pre op bloodwork and thought ok...time to quit the coffee. Well...my head is pounding. I have limited myself to one cup a day in the morning...surely it shouldn't be this hard...or painful. Any suggestions?

I had same problem. Lots of Water to flush it out and tylenol. I drank three to four cups a day. After two days you should be good.

Good luck!

My surgery is scheduled for May 26th. In Tijuana, Mexico. I get super nervous and super excited. I've never had any surgery before, so that part is what I am nervous about.

I have been having a lot of difficulty getting in my protien anyone else experiencing this? If I do yogurt I get sick and everything seems to be too sweet (even sugar free). I'm worried about healing without the necessary nutrients. Any suggestions?

Everyone is nervous before. I was sleeved on May 9th without complications. Yes, there is pain. Yes, there are challenges. It is one day at a time. I tell you it has only been over a week and I feel amazing. Every day I feel better, I look better, and I am thankful every day that I had this procedure. I am so excited for you. Stay positive!

Try Unjury Unflavored Protein Powder. You have to order it online. 20 grams in each scoop and it truly tastes like nothing. I put it on everything. I found a chicken and beef broth with 5 grams per half cup, I add the powder. I also drink it with apple juice and all I taste is the apple juice. Try Oikos triple zero yogurt, vanilla flavored. It has 15 grams of Protein per serving. Not sweet and pretty tasty. I also order a chewable Multi-Vitamin from Unjury.com called opurity and that is helpful.

I get my 60 grams of protein relatively easy, with the help of this powder.

I wish you all the best.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
