July Gastric Bypass?



Recommended Posts

My surgeon wanted me to lose 40 more lbs before he scheduled my surgery. However, I am a woman of faith, and when I left his office I was devastated. We were supposed to set a date that day. So I got in my car and I prayed, God if this is your will let it happen. On Friday June 15th, I got a phone call saying you need to call and lets set a date for your surgery. I got this message after 5. So I had to wait through the weekend. They called me back first thing Monday June 18th and set my date for July 2nd. I already had a weigh in appointment for Thurs June 21st. They made that my pre op appointment. Everything for me is moving super fast for me now.

And see when you intrusted, things did move along and things worked out. He does grant the desires of out 💕when we pray in a contrite spirit. Go over to Orchids and Dragon's Prayers requested and Accepted forum. I know she raised all us future surgeries up in prayer. If you noticed in my postings above I too will be having a July surgery, I am trust Go's will be assisting my surgeon Dr Needleman , guiding his hands and together they will perform the miracle I need to improve, sustain and make possible future years of life for me. And I will live faithful until of life for me.👸

I don't have a date yet but I will be having mine in July as well!

Excited to go through this with all of you :773_purple_heart:

I am so excited. I have already lost 10 pounds on my first 8 days of preop diet. My surgery is scheduled for July 4th. In Tijuana, with Dr. Ortez...... I hope I get to meet some of you there. I’m not sure how to use this app yet, so maybe some of you can show me how to follow you, and stay in touch. 👍🏻

I’m so excited too! I’m on day 1 of my pre-op diet and I have used some kitchen tricks to prepare nun pudding ahead of time. I’m working on getting the Soup mix just right. I’m sure I will lose quite a bit before surgery. I’m glad you are having icees as well!

Mine is July 24th too. I've had the date since mid-June. At first I thought that time would pass so slowly but it really doesn't. I'm actually really glad I had the time to plan things out more thoroughly, buy everything, and not being rushed is making the terror of it all seem less horrible!


I'm July 24th. It seems forever away and I'm starting to panic. I've fought myself in the "I better eat this now while I still can" trap. Need to get my head in the right space over the next few weeks!

      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!!
