Tonya Why would they keep you in the hospital so long? I have heard of band to bypass staying a few days.

I'm having gastric bypass and my doctor said I'll only be in the hospital one night unless I'm not doing well. Hope you can leave sooner. Good idea about bringing your own pillow. And thanks for reminding me to bring my Chapstick. Ugh. The CPAP! I have a love/hate relationship with mine and hope that someday I will no longer need it (although my brother is the perfect weight and he has been on one for years). I was diagnosed with sleep apnea about 6 years ago and still hate the darn machine, but if I miss even one night I'm miserable the next day. Here's to a CPAP-less future for both of us!

So i don't know what I did to my account but I can't get into it so created a new one. I don't know why my doctor has us stay so long. Although The 10th is the earliest I would go home they said because my surgery isn't until 12 15pm.

I’m on the 13th, too. I’m on 4th day of pre-op. I’m only allowed Protein Shakes, broth, sugar free Jello, and sugar free popsicles. I’m dying!! 😩

I'm on day 8 of this, well Optifast Protein Shakes. It's easier now. I have 6 more days of it followed by 2 days of just clear fluids and then surgery on the 11th. I am dreading the 2 days of just clear though, I think I'll be starving then. Or maybe I will be so nervous that the surgery is so close I won't notice lol.

I will be taking an Uber. I guess I’m just very embarrassed and ashamed it has come to this. Also, I don’t think anyone in my life would understand. Literally my whole family is skinny. I suffer from anxiety and having this major surgery is weighing heavy on me. I keep thinking something might go wrong at the operating table

Hi, all. I've announced my date before, but as a reminder--I will be on February 25, probably the latest in the February group. My liquid diet will start on February 11, and my surgeon said I will be in the hospital for one night. I'm excited and apprehensive--I just want it over with at this point.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
