Hello folks,

Are any of you got operations coming up in the UK? As much as I value the US guys it would be good to get a sense of how other people are getting on here.

I'm having my bypass on 12th July, so the countdown really does feel like it's begun.

Cheers,

J

Hi John,
Thanks for the advise,it is good to have a surgery buddy [emoji4]
I'm not on a liquid diet either. I have three Activia yoghurts a day and a chilled pot of soup a day divided into 3 meals. X

Hello John,

Did I read right?

Your surgery has been delayed by 2 weeks?

I'm on the home run, surgery on Tuesday,11th July.

As I'm diabetic I'm the 1st patient on the day,I resent the 7am show up, but then its better this way isn't it?

I won't be stressing the whole day waiting for my time I've been given.

Good luck with the diet they've given you as you have another 2 week wait. Incidentally,what are you consuming on your diet ?

Hiya geets,

Lucky you, you're getting close. How are you feeling?

It took me a couple of days to process the postponement, rationally it's a good thing but I was ready to go on Wednesday. Basically my blood pressure is too high and postponement by two weeks gives me a chance to get it down and my surgeon's consultant anaesthetist will be back. I know it makes sense but yesterday it played havoc with my emotions. So right now 26th July is pencilled in.

The diet's been good, and it's working. Today, for instance, I had tomatoes on two little slices of soy linseed bread and a coffee for breakfast, an egg baked in a chili veg salsa for lunch (teacup size) and a salmon fillet done in a foil parcel with veggies and soy sauce for dinner. The portion sizes are pretty small but I enjoy cooking. It's basically very low fat, pretty low carb/starch and a decent amount of protein.

Are you all set to go in Tuesday?

I suffer from diabetes and hypertension's,thats why I want gastric bypass surgery, i have 6 brothers,4 of them have had heart attacks, my father died from a heart attack thats why I want the op.

Its a shame I'm vegetarian, easier way to get protein if you're a meat eater. Im feeling better then I was last Saturday when I started the preop diet. Last night wasn't good as I got a hypo. My diabetic meds will definitely have to change after the op.

Yes I'm set for Tuesday,ive bought my M&S cotton dressing gown ;-)''.
