You are two days after me. How are you surviving the pre op torture diet?

I drink alot of Water and try to keep myself busy as to not think about food. Here in Canada we are on an Optifast diet so it is 4 shakes a day plus some vegetables. The first few days were hard as anything. But I keep telling myself it is a means to an end. The is a change I wanted and no one is forcing me into. I ate my way into this position, so now I have to deal with things that come with getting out of this position.

Keep your chin up !

I have 4 more days before surgery. I’m a lifer on anticoagulants so tomorrow I start 4 lovenox shots a day. How is your pain and mobility?

Pains fine. And mobility is ok. Little pain bending etc but less than anticipated. No painkillers at all. Except a Advil before bed.

Well I am three days post surgery. Going well. Little sore today because the numbing agents are dwindling on the incision sites. Not hungry AT ALL! I see now how so many people said they have trouble getting their 60 gr of protein!

I’m in! My bypass surgery date is 11/5. Getting nervous, but excited too. My journey started 12 years ago with the lap band. After having some issues I had to have that removed in January. I loved my band, but I am hoping this is going to be even better. I am 5’2” and 225.

We have similar stories for sure. Lap band removed a year ago. Bypass last Sunday.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
