Got my Surgery date today! Its going to be on April 2nd, 2018 day after Easter... can't wait!!! I wanted it this month but this gives me an extra week to plan!

Doc says he is doing a triple on me...Duodenal Switch, fixing hiatal hernia and taking my gall bladder out too! Lord!!!!

So I will be on 2 week liver reduction diet, 1 week shakes snacks and lean and green and then the dreaded liquid week 5 shakes a day! ughhhh! lol cant wait for that lolol NOT!!! Since I know I don't have to start this until 2 weeks before my date , but I feel like I should start early on the lean and green that way i can lose a little more weight before my date.

While I was at the doctor's office I picked up all my shakes stuff and snacks and b complex and that isopure stuff. Anyway wanted to share with everyone. I am beyond Excited!

Any April surgery buddies out there?

My surgery is tomorrow and I’m having both done. My doctor said as long as I can swallow and keep fluids down I’ll be released the next day.

I pray all goes well and you get to go home on Friday

Praying for you also! Try to walk as soon as possible. It really helped me get an early release.

Thank you for the kind words . Sorry about your pain. It will get better. Also did u weigh yourself ? I drank water only while in the hospital and I came home today and the scale reads I’ve gained 12 pounds!!! What??? I’m not happy about this. Is this normal?? How could this even be? I’m checking scale
Again tomorrow and calling my surgeon! Has anyone ever experienced this?

Hi there, it is 100% normal to gain after being in a hospital. They pump you so full of fluid that your basically sloshing! Plus the anesthesia contributes to fluid retention. Don’t stress it. Should come off quickly within the next week or two.

Oh wow??? Really? I was so upset about it and still am after getting on scale 6 times and it reading a 12 pound gain. Thanks for putting me back at ease!

Good morning y'all. I joined the losers bench. I wasn't nervous going in, but super sorry excited.

I was so excited . Now I'm in such pain. My tummy hurts, my head, and I have an abundant amount of gas in my left breast area. I keep reminding myself that I need this.

Sorry about your loss. I'm proud of you for continuing even after your loss.

I’m doing great so far I’ve been on several walks already. Thank you for the advice.

It’s probably frustrating for you, but they are trying to help you be successful. I’m sure we will all have our ups and downs. Remember we are worth it.

I wish the stay in the hospital was longer. The pain meds are better and it was easier to move around. At home it is much more difficult. Thank you for whoever told me to buy gas x. It’s saving me right now. Pain pills are terrible and too tough to take for not much help. I’ve switched to liquid Tylenol as it’s easier and takes the edge off.
