Good luck!!!

So how is it on day 8? I'm day 4 and its not to bad. My surgery is Aug.27th I'm excited too!! That's to bad you have to start a new job only 2 weeks after I was lucking and got 6weeks off. I hope your healed enough and its a office job. Good luck!! keep us posted!!!!

Good luck on approval. I know my niece just had gastric bypass and she didn't have to do a pre-op diet at all. She is have the head hunger now so I think its probley a good idea to have a pre-op diet just to get your body use to not eating. I'm on day 4 and its not to bad I'm hoping to loss 10lbs at least! Good luck to you!!!!

I'm not sure if I would or not I would for sure say away from fat and stick to high protein and just don't over eat.

I'm using BetterMD protien shakes I had to order it though my Dr. It don't taste to bad 5 shakes a day and there is a fiber drink or make it into jello 1 time at night. I'm on day 4 its getting easier.

Wow Melissa I guess I didn't know people had to go 30 days. I thought 2 weeks was long. I'm sorry. I wish you luck! I did hear that after the 4 day it gets easier. I know it will be worth it in the long run. My surgery is the 27th can't wait!!! Good luck to you!!

Yeah!!! Finely got my surgery date!! Aug.20th. Have to start my pr-op diet Aug.5th I'm worried about that I just hope it goes fast. Called BC/BS make sure everything is covered. I have to order my pre-op diet my Dr. requires its called BetterMD has anyone haved it? I just hope it taste ok. That is the only thing that I'm worried about getting though that. Please if anyone has any tips for me let me know. Belinda

That is good to hear. I have to do the BetterMD my dr requires it. I orderd it today I just want to be ready. Had a lot of running around today with all the paper work for work now hope I don't have any trouble with that. I know my boss will try to deny my time off work. But I'm going to go over head if she does.

Good Luck to you also!!!

Thank you Lori... I do remember reading abot that kit now. I did buy some of that premier protien drink today and tryed it. Its not bad I tried it today. Thank you again.

Thanks Lori for the info!! I did hear that the faster you get up and walk the better you feel. So on the pre op diet you can have SF popsicles and SF Jello? What are the best shakes to buy? Your doing really well on your weight loss!!!! I hope I do that good. Thanks again!! If you think of anything else I should know please let me know. Belinda
