I am scheduled first thing Monday morning 1/8/18. I have been nervous for so long that I now want to hurry and get it over with. I want to be on the road to recovery. What is everyone bringing to the hospital to make them more comfortable?

How’d you make out? I was also 1/4. I’m doing pretty good.



I’m doing okay. Pretty tired still and it kind of hurts when I drink anything, but today seems a little better than yesterday was. How are you doing?

Congrats! Sorry about the funny looking gall bladder, but I am really curious - why the last minute switch to RNY? (sleeve 2 weeks away for me so curious!)

I had an episode last summer with intense discomfort. Everyone thought it was gall bladder, but both the ultrasound and the HIDA scan showed nothing wrong. My PCP put me on Nexium as a precaution in case I had reflux. We don't really know if I have reflux or not, but the surgeon decided not to take the risk in case I do.

I'm actually really happy she took it out. Saves me a surgery down the road.

I’d add sugar free throat lozenges. My throat was very sore and my mouth very dry.

I would recommend trying a few different clear Protein Drinks before your surgery. I’m sorry to say that I find them to be soapy and very hard to drink. I threw out the Premier Protein clear one. I’m struggling through the Isopure. I only have to drink clear liquids the day before, the day of, and the day after my surgery. But try and find one you can tolerate.

Thanks for the advice I remember when I had my lap band I didn't like any then as well. Which ones do people like?

I'd like some advice...

My doctor doesn't require a pre-op diet. But I'm on a clear liquid 2 weeks following then liquid for 4 weeks. Total of 6 weeks liquid. When on Clear Liquids what did you all drink? Any suggestions for Proteins and clear liquids. I think I need to order some things. I'm pretty much going to be on my own. Any suggestions appreciated. Also, Vitamins? which ones did you all like?

Try these! They are very good & Orgain comes in chocolate vanilla & Peanut Butter maybe more. They are very good & healthier than most other shakes such as premier. Also a nice change when you get bored with other flavors. 1 scoop of each is 30 grams of Protein & about 200 calories with 30 calorie a serving almond milk. I add ice or Water to make them 10-12 ounces.

I could not stomach any Protein Drinks when I had my band put in. Bleck. I thought I was doomed but then I tried the Premier Protein in chocolate and caramel and I like them a lot. They just have to be very cold. And the premier Protein clear I do like, especially over ice.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
