So I am scheduled to undergo RNY Gastric Bypass tomorrow and am on the 2 day pre-op clear liquid diet. In the guideline that my patient coordinator sent me it stated that I could have chicken broth, went to Hale and Hearty for lunch and they did not have chicken noodle Soup (I was going to just drink the broth) so instead I bought the lobster bisque :48_weary: Now I'm terrified even though the bisque was very creamy without anything in it at all. Anyone on here know if I'm screwed or if the bisque was okay to eat?

The definition of Full liquids in the manual I received prior to surgery indicated these are foods that have a semi-solid or pudding like consistency. That definition includes strained cream Soups. So I think lobster bisque (if strained) would qualify as full liquids.

The definition given on the internet for a clear liquid diet consists of Clear Liquids or foods that turn to liquids at room temperature.

So based on this, I believe you are fine.

Good luck on your surgery and let us know how it went when you are on the other side.

I think you are in theatre as I type this.

I am a bit sore now, 13 hours post op, but very manageable. It is 1am and was woken for blood pressure, and got ice. Might be my nicest foot this week!!

So glad you're recovery is going well, minus being awaken at 1am. I'm sure your sleep will improve once you are home.

I know the feeling. I was woken up at 3 as well and the discomfort from gas is the only issue I am having. Such a headache. So now I am up walking around. Did they say when you are able to go home?

Thank you. They gave me my date before the approval. I was so afraid I wouldn’t get approved by the date but I called insurance every other day lol. Recovery is going well. My only issue is the discomfort from gas.

Gotcha...that is the way my Drs office does it too. Awesome way to be proactive. I had to call my Drs office to see if they had everything twice and I'm so glad I did. I did not want missing items not to be checked off the list. The first time I called, they said they needed the EKG, but they had it. The EKG was embedded within the many pages of the stress test and the second time I checked in with them they were missing my preop physical, so I called my primary Dr and the paperwork faxed to them. Sometimes it is good to be proactive and check on theses different offices. I believe they have so many patients and they do not have enough staff to keep up with all the paperwork.

Sorry to hear about your gas pain. Hopefully it will subside soon for you.

Very true. It’s best to stay on top of them. Luckily I was able to have pre-op visits in the same hospital so they all used the same system for document management but that didn’t stop me from emailing and calling after each visit lol. Pretty sure I drove my patient coordinator insane

Wow...that is convenient. Lol...I probably would have done the same thing and called anyway too.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
