I have been scheduled for November 12th for my sleeve. I am ready to finish what I have started. If you have any tips for the first few weeks after surgery.

I got my date of Nov 23rd and have to start the liver reducing diet tomorrow. Yuck. Lol

I am currently waiting to get prepped for surgery. starts at 10. Will text you all later. I am very nervous !

It is now 3:00am and i can’t sleep not in pain just sleep a lot during the day. had one spoon of jello and 2 sips of broth. If all goes well with breakfast I can home tomorrow here is to hoping all goes well.

I had my gastric bypass on Nov. 2. Before surgery I purchased some “Better than Bullion “ to use as broth. I also got vegan protein powder and several juices, bariatric vitamins and miso soup.

The surgery was much easier than I expected. My doctor performed robotic surgery. I was nervous before surgery but it was so easy.

I’m in the liquid protein phase now. I make my own shakes since I cannot tolerate commercial protein drinks and I vegan.

I purchased 200 1 oz cups with lids to portion out my drinks and easy to take when I go out.

HI. My RNY bypass surgery is November 18, 2020. I started my pre-surgery diet on November 4, 2020 and only loss about 2 pounds. I feel that is not enough for one week. Shouldn’t there be more weight loss in one week? I have one more week to go on my pre-surgery diet.

I’m glad your surgery went well. I was super uncomfortable in the hospital but not really in pain. I got home yesterday and I’m still ridiculously tired. Just drinking drinking drinking all day.

I didn’t lose a lot right away. I think I lost 12 pounds total in the two weeks.

I’m finally updating.... I flew to Mexico and had my surgery on Friday. I flew home yesterday and crawled right into bed. I had the worst experience. I am still nauseous and haven’t been able to get much down. I know that some people have had excellent experiences going to Mexico, but unfortunately mine was not. I regret having the surgery. I get up to walk and I am so light headed and have to lay back down. I haven’t thrown up today, thankfully. My flight back home yesterday was awful and I threw up a couple times. I had nothing in me and it was horrible. Today I have sipped a little Gatorade today and was able to suck on a popsicle. I pray I get feeling better soon and can get rid of the dizziness and nausea. I have no energy. I hope no one else goes through this.

I’m so sorry you are having such a hard time. I had a lot of nausea after my surgery which made it so much worse! I can’t imagine what you’re going through. I don’t have a lot of energy either, but sounds like you’ve had a more harrowing journey. I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you for your kind words. Today I feel a little better. I pray each day I get better and better. I’m just so thankful to be in my own home and not in Mexico. I hope our energy will be up soon!

The diet sucks but you can do this. It’s not a complete do over right? Just a delay. Do you know how long. I can’t imagine how disappointing this is.
