April 2022 Surgery Buddies



Recommended Posts

I received a call today and my gastric bypass surgery is April 6th. It felt like it was taking forever and now that I have a date I am really nervous. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have pre-surgery appointment on March 22nd and assume I will get all the information that day.

The weeks are flying by!

Sorry I have been so quiet... Uni is keeping me busy!... My surgery date is now 2nd April. The closer the date gets the more excited/nervous I get.

They are doing surgery on a Saturday? Wow, that’s good. Best of luck to you. Mine is just a couple of days later on the 4th.

I'm scheduled for the same (SADI/SIPS) surgery the day before you! And, fellow Texan, I see! Where are you in Texas, Sherie? I'm in the Austin Area.

I'm in Amarillo with Dr. Blue Schniederjan from Panhandle Weight Loss Clinic. Yes, can't wait until my surgery date. I could have gotten mine done earlier too, but I had to pass my cardiac test also. I had blood clots, but I finally passed the test and got my surgery date. So excited. Sorry you had to postpone yours. But, now I have a fellow Texan bariatric buddy that we can talk to going through this together. It will get here sooner than we think.

Are you all on a 2 week liquid date prior to surgery? That’s my surgeons plan and I’m so dreading it. But it will be good practice!

My two weeks diet just consists of 1st week: 1 shake for breakfast; 3 healthy Snacks and 2 high Protein and low carb meals for lunch and dinner. 2nd week: two shakes for Breakfast and lunch 3 healthy snacks and 1 high protein and low carb for dinner.

Had my call with the pre op nurse today! 22 days and counting.

She gave me information about what will happen at my f2f pre op assessment and some more information about what happens on the day. I'll be told 24-48hrs before what time to be at the hospital for.

My LRD starts on the 18th but im going to start it early.. too late to start it today so will be starting it tomorrow.

The nerves have kicked in and I'm now really nervous - not so much about the operation itself but the first few days post op.... I kind of feel like I did when I was pregnant with my first. I know its going to hurt... but how much and just what that pain will be like will only be known once I'm experiencing it. xx

Good luck, you can do this! My liquid diet starts on the 21st. I’ve been trying to ease my way into it. Making small changes and reducing my calorie intake each week before it starts. That way it’s not such a shock to my system. I wouldn’t want to do the actual diet for more than 2 weeks though. That is going to be so hard in itself. Looking forward to hearing how you do. My surgery is just a few days after yours.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
