I’m scheduled May 2nd. I am so much more excited than nervous. The nerves haven’t really hit me yet.

I am the same day. Not nervous yet.

I'm scheduled for a gastric bypass and hiatal hernia repair on May 16th. I'm glad I joined this forum as it's given me so much insight and knowledge of what to expect and how to deal with it, it's such a releife to read other people's experiences. You know you're let alone! I dont believe any research can give you this much information that is 100% accurate then from the people who have actually experienced it.

Good luck to all who are waiting for their surgery best wishes???

Day 1-pre op liquid diet, had naked not sure if this is good option but have not found protein powder. I had planned to go to smoothie king but when I got there the are closed for remodeling ?bought naked smoothie blu monster and jello but it’s red and told not to eat red stuff. Felt a bit woozie after lunch and had beef broth and will go to bed as soon as I can Bc too much temptation for food plus feel exhausted now?will report on day 2 tomorrow-maybe some input on what y’all r doing for liquid diet , ty! ?

Hi gang, have to agree! So much candor just makes me grateful for the “family” here. Such thoughtful new friends! ???

May 11 for Revision from VSG to RNY for reflux.

Sorry, I posted in the wrong forum.

My surgery is scheduled for Monday, May 2nd! I'm starting to get nervous.

My previous Nissen Fundoplication (hiatal hernia surgery) has to be revised and hopefully the surgeon will be able to do the gastric sleeve at the same time. If not, it will be a few months before he can do the sleeve. But he thinks he'll be able to do both at the same time.

I've been on my liquid diet since Sunday and it's going well. I've been pleasantly surprised. I was dreading it, but I haven't been as hungry as I expected.

Congrats on your 5/2 date. I'll be here at my desk -- I'll say a prayer for you for uneventful, successful surgery, and a quick recovery.?

Thank you!?

Glad to hear, I’m on day 2 of preop liquid diet, had stomach cramp in the morning and the runs drank grape Gatorade zero that really helped to hydrate -once runs stopped I was a bit weak, had smoothie with protein and that helped feeling a bit hungry after 5p and kept forgetting I can’t eat solids ??

My pre op diet isnt as bad as I initially thought it would be. I think my surgeon is probably alittle lax on it somewhat. I had a Drs appt with her today and she asked how I was doing on pre op and I said not too bad actually, her reply was do the best as you can. I get hungry thats for sure lol. I have to busy myself to stop thinking about it. Tomorrow I go for my pre op visit/pre admission visit with the anesthesiologist to talk about my surgery on Tues. My nerves are settling in and Im not sure why Im so nervous, this has got to be done to get me in a healthy place. Im doing what most women do right before having a baby, Im nesting LOL. Making sure things are in order, cleaning the house, decluttering lol
