I slept a lot after the surgery. I wasn't in pain, but very tender. They gave me an ice pack and that really did help. I started on water and broth almost immediate. I got a pop sickle and fell in love! I never had it while on my pre-op diet. I have been up and walking and I felt normal. When I first woke up and was sore I thought "what did I freakin do??", but I am far from that point now!

Reason for Pre op liquid diet?
shellsheck replied to mrsplusamericajacksonville's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been on my diet for 8 days. I get 5- protein shakes a day and the rest are clear liquids. First few days sucked. I then went to not being hungry and hard time being able to get just the shakes in. Today 4 days before surgery and I'm starving!!! I cheated tonight and ate a piece of grilled chicken and guess what....STILL STARVING! I have drank my shakes, broth, tea, water and sf drinks. I just don't get it! -
I am currently going to WW and get sleeved Monday. I plan to attend my meetings and continue trying. I did let my leader know about the surgery and feel she judged me tonight. I earned my 25 lb charm and felt she acted different because I lost a lot this past week on my liquid diet.

Any diabetics have problem with pre-op diet?
shellsheck replied to pixiesmurf's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
I am using Atkins Advantage ready to drink. They have 1 net carb, 1g sugar, 15g protein. They lowered my humalog from 30u to 15. My norm is 150-250 and yesterday I ran 100-127 all day. I am on day 3 of liquid diet. -
I will have surgery May 13th and plan to return to work after two weeks. Is this a realistic goal or should I expect to be out longer? I run a nursing home and sit at a desk all day. There wouldn't be any lifting.

I am really confused on what I can have on my two week pre op liquid diet. I have heard potatoes are fine and then no they are not. The list from the doctor really didn't go into much detail on what I could have other than no less than 5 protein shakes a day.
