Hi everyone, I'm new to the site, I'm 13 days in on the milk diet and my RNY bypass is on Weds 16th (3 days and counting), I'm having it done at Luton and Dunstable.
Have a lovely pampering birthday Paulam good idea before op to relax you and as from next birthday in they will be SMALL (you) birthdaysHi want2b3 and thank you I like you am not quite there yet organised son is staying with his sister overnight but will do shopping today. I dont have a clue of what I can and cannot have after so I will probably have to wait until after I have surgery. Fortunately I have for girls ranging from 18 to 31 who I will ask to get my liquids in for me. Besides that as it is my BIG birthday today I am going to spend the day pampering myself. Hope they will still go ahead keep waking in the morning with a sore throat then it goes by mid morning
Had my pre-op appointment today. All went well. Except I'm shorter than I thought!!!!!!! Only five foot. I was sure I was at least 5'1 maybe 5'2 at a stretch.Should change my WLS name to 'shortarse'

Good luck with your op @Fantababe , mine is tomorrow cant wait for it to be over n done withHi everyone, I'm new to the site, I'm 13 days in on the milk diet and my RNY bypass is on Weds 16th (3 days and counting), I'm having it done at Luton and Dunstable.
Do you know that feeling you get when you have eaten a very large Christmas dinner with a double helping of Christmas pud for afters, and then a mince pie? It feels something like that, and very sore to start with. Are you still protein free, as protein makes you feel full and uncomfortable.Can anyone describe what their sleeve feels like? I know that sounds weird but I don't feel like anything really.
Yep I'm tired this evening from doing too much but I'm drinking ok (had about 800mls so far). When I sip I can hear a gurgling sound but that's it. I'm guessing if I were to put food in there (which I'm not going to) I'd feel full? Just read a comment on my dietician stuff saying be careful not to drink too much - how will I know?

Nervous, @MrsN. I'm a total wuss and not looking forward to the pain afterwards. I've been watching loads of bypass success stories on youtube to keep reminding myself this is the right thing to do. I know it is but I guess its normal to feel a little anxious. I'm being super strict on my LRD. Even if I wasn't perfect on it before I'm determined that the last five days (been good since Saturday) will leave me with a beautiful slim liver. How are you doing now?
Hi Damien I arrived in Brno about 5 o'clock, am now at a hotel for tonight and I'll be taken to the clinic for 7am, lots of pre op test including the dreaded endoscopy and if all is well surgery in the afternoon. Best of luck for tomorrow hope all goes well for you.@Dollydot Thank You good luck to you too I have to be there at 6.30 tomorrow morning don't know about you?
Hiya, thanks I'm ok at the moment just be glad once it's done. Glad you are feeling ok after your op, keep me posted on how you're doing over the next few weeks, good luck.Hi and welcome.
How are you feeling? I didn't find the LRD too bad and gets you in the right head space for the liquid diet post op. I'm 3 days post sleeve and feeling ok. Best of luck and keep us updated!
