FEBRUARY 20!! Surgery Buddy?!?



Recommended Posts

Starting my liquid diet today and having RNY surgery on February 20th. I’m so excited! Has anyone come into any road blocks this close? I’ve had a few with the pulmonary department so I don’t wanna get ahead of myself. I wasn’t that consistent with my vitamins.. any advice?

Not too bad for someone who is going to have a Rny either February 15tth or early next month depending whether the scheduling office or the surgeon's office are correct. Been getting conflicting messages, hopefully it will,all get straightened out Tuesday mornings . As the old saying goes I don't know whether to fish or cut bait. I need to either start a liquid diet or lay in supplies for later.

Well I hope everything works out for u. I think ive been so lucky because I really haven't had any problems. Smooth. I do believe my daughter is getting me sick. Lol so I need to call the drs tomorrow. I wish I was a little more prepared with my stuff like shakes.

Hi @chamomilelavender I'm February 20th RNY too. :) I'm on Day 3 of the pre-op liquid diet. So far it really hasn't been too bad; a little hunger, a little craving to chew. But, those have been outweighed by the gravity of the situation I'm in--to prepare for surgery and shrink my liver. I don't want to fork up anything, so I'm on the straight and narrow.

How are you doing?

*waves to everyone in the room* Howdy!

Thats awesome. Just the beginning of your life. Surgery will be here before u know it. The pain should be gone in a few days then you will be sore forever a few days.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
