November 2022 Surgery Buddies

[Makingmoves 8]

I had mine done 11/8. I was discharged 4 hours after the procedure. I think the hardest part for me was coming out of anesthesia it took about 24 hours. I am able to get my clear fluids in it I just get nauseous thinking about adding in Protein.

My surgery was also the 8th. Today I have been able to drink about 30 oz of Water and about 3 oz of a Protein Shake. Not much. My dr told me that I would most likely not hit my goals this week and possibly next week either. Just do your best

I tolerate this really well and wish it had more of its own Protein.

Checking in post-surgery. It was yesterday and overall things went smoothly. Today the Dr. left it up to me whether to stay one more night but strongly recommended it so my nausea and pressure gets under control, and I decided to stay. I'm getting really good sleep here, haha. Working on hydration goals, it's tough! Good luck to everyone in the next few days!

You will not be alone on thanksgiving for sure. I start my two week liquid diet on 11-14 and will be on it on thanksgiving. I am scheduled 11-28, I think I might be the last one in November that is in this group. I haven't seen anyone posting the 28th or after. I wish you the best, please keep us posted!

Hi. I’m new to the chat. My surgery is on 11/21 and I’m so excited. Nervous too.

Got my gastric bypass on Nov 4. Doing really good, but tire easily. Just started on pureed foods. SO made me chicken with peas & carrots. Looked like baby poop, but tasted delicious! Lost 12 pounds since surgery day. Glad to be able to have my Protein Shakes again! A good friend of mine who had a bypass done just over a year ago, can't believe I haven't experienced dumping syndrome yet. Keeping my fingers crossed, but very careful with how I am adding food into my diet. Hope all is going well with my early Nov surgery buddies!!

WLS scheduled for 11/30. I start my pre-surgery diet on 11/16. I am excited, and nervous. I found "The Big Book on Bariatric Surgery", from there I found this site. Good to read how other people are doing on their journey.

Checking in after surgery. Post op plus 2 days. I'm grateful for the overnight in the hospital for the IV fluids and nausea meds (zofran). No real surgery pain, mostly discomfort, gas, and my tummy being so empty. Tolerate warm and room temp liquids better than cold (cold sends a sharp cramping when it hits tummy)

I've never been so aware of where "food" is in my digestive system! 😆

Sweet things taste soooo sweet its almost gross...maybe that will help save me in the long run...

Taking it slow and careful, but each day gets easier to hit goals.

I have my surgery on November 28th in Las Vegas, Nevada. I start the liquid pre op on Monday Nov 14th. I just started getting all my shipments of Protein Shakes, Protein Drinks, stocked up on sugar free Jello and popsicles. Cleaned out my refrigerator and gave all my meat etc that i had in the freezer to a friend. I am not leaving anything to chance LOL.. let my family know I won't be at thanksgiving this year to avoid temptation!
