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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
