Hello Everyone,
I just got my surgery date set for August 26th, 2020. I am having the Gastric Bypass surgery. I am feeling a bit nervous but I excited at the same time. I am new here so any tips or general chats are welcome [emoji2]
Hey there...mine is on the 17th. I am doing a revision from the sleeve to bypass. Have you started on your preop diet yet? What state or city are you from. I am kinda nervous here.

I have not started my pre-op diet yet. I have 2 weeks before surgery until I can start. I have been eating less for about a week and a half so that hopefully it I won’t be so hungry when doing the diet. I can eat one meal a day. 150g of Protein and no more than 30g of carbs is my goal. I am from Atlanta, GA. Where are you from? We can be nervous together 😂

I start my diet this upcoming week. When I had the sleeve done, I couldn't stand powder Protein Shakes since they got got me nauseous. I end up on Isopure premade Protein Drink. It worked out just fine and they are I find them to be tasty. Also, if you do not mind me asking whats you current weight, height, and BMI...and what is you targeted weight?

Awesome I will have to look into the Isopure because I really don’t like power Protein either. My Current weight is 306lbs, Height 5’3 BMI is 54. My goal weight is 160lbs. Why are you choosing bypass now above the sleeve?

Hello friends!

I just got notified yesterday of my approval (wow that was a long process as my insurance required 6 months of nutrition visits first) and my surgery date for sleeve surgery is August 27th!

Best of luck. I got the sleeve 6 years ago. I suffered from GERD and the sleeve was dialted causing me to eat more. Now I am doing the RYN Bypass.

      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!!
