Absolutely surreal to be posting this as I have read so many of these threads! I didn’t think the day would ever come! Excited and petrified. My date is 2/22/21!!

Any February 2021 bypassers out there? I would love to connect and share prep plans and how things go after surgery.

Surgery Shoutout Today!! Good Luck to @Mrs A B, @Tink22, and @aug62012!!

Just an FYI, aug62012 (from here) is starting a February 2021 Gastric Bypass Supoort group on Facebook

On another note, did my Covid test Fri and tomorrow I start my liquid only diet. Surgery is Thursday at 12:30

I am having surgery the 17th!!! So excited!

As of Today I havent eaten in 6 days. I look at food and think how I would Love to sink my teeth in different types of food. But then on the other hand “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”!

Hello All!

I had VSG on 2/4 and started full liquids today (with cottage cheese and pudding!? ? is that really a liquid?)
I was so nervous on surgery day and slept the whole day and almost all the next too. I’m thinking it was self preservation! I also had a hiatal hernia fixed. I’m feeling ok...I still really miss food. I was told most people don’t feel hungry afterwards, but I do...anyone else?

Its a mental thing you want texture and the oral fixation. You have to remember you've been eating for years its a habit. I blend up veggies and mix with a non flavored protein this way I get some texture with my protein. It gets easier.

I had my gsv 2/3/21. My advise for post op, sit in the chair, not the bed. It will save your back.

I had my sleeve 2/4 and all I can hold down is greek yogurt and crystal light water.

The first week I was alittle hungry but then it got worse second week as I grew bored of chocolate protein shakes. I tried a bit of pureed tuna few days early for one meal a day. Nothing hurt, bathroom is ok. It was just a little bit. I'm not advocating ignoring doctors orders but I couldn't take it anymore. Better pureed tuna than the soft pretzels my wife had out for superbowl.

I had issues with aspartame long before surgery. Do you have any issues with the aspartame in the crystal light?

@ironman -aspartame isnt bothering me. Protein2o makes me nauseous, protein shakes make me nauseous, and jello makes me nauseous. I do have a lot of like acid reflux but my NUT said it's because my brain doesnt know my stomach isnt the same size and that it's over producing acid.

Today’s the day, As my wife says, let do the damn thing

My surgery date was March 12, 2019. Coming up on my 2 year anniversary!! Doing and feeling great. Best decision I ever made.
