May 2022 surgery?



Recommended Posts

My gastric bypass is scheduled for May 23rd. I’m over the nervousness and am excited for a new chapter. I’ve read and watched as many YouTube videos as possible. What are everyone’s favorite Protein powders/shakes? I’m still looking for mine.

Seeking friends! My sleeve surgery is May 23rd. I’m so excited and can’t wait! Anyone else have their surgery around this date? I’m 260 lbs And 5’8. I want to lose 120 lbs. Anyone want to be my friend and we text during our journeys?

My gastric bypass is May 23rd! Surgery twins! My pre-op is not until May 11th and I find out about my pre-surgery diet at that appointment. When do you start your pre-op diet?

Close to you for surgery date! I’m May 24 for bypass. My favorite right now is Muscle Milk zero sugar. It is a whey Protein isolate and from what my nutritionist teaches are better tolerated and the more concentrated form of Protein so you get more absorption or something like that lol. I also like Vega greens powder in vanilla but muscle milk is nice because it’s easy to find and pre made in a shake. Unjury is very good and is also a whey protein isolate

Oh I'm having the gastric sleeve surgery and I talk to people that have had the gastric sleeve and most of the ppl I've talk to, have gained half of the weight back and they say it's hard to keep it off. You have to be really really dedicated and work hard and stay away from sweets.

Mrsjo:
I love the Muscle Milk zero sugar too. But right now I'm doing the liver reduction diet it's a really good choice for me right now other than a Slim-Fast see I have a option. I'm also looking at the nutrition being that I need some Vitamins too.

Whoever said “more anxious” I am right there with you. I have more energy now that I’m 15 days away but it’s definitely anxiety based 🤣

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
