Second full day home
Briohn! replied to hellohealthy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my procedure same day. I'm having abdominal cramps and gas, but that's all my serious complaints. Not hungry at all! It's a chore just getting the water down it seems. I'm doing ok walking. Sleep last night was rough though -

Hi all! Just started liquid diet for the week prior to surgery! This is the second time I've started. Initially I was told two weeks out. But when I went in, my bmi dropped below my surgeons requirement for a two week. I didn't go crazy, just ate healthy. Now I know what to expect. Had all my last tests yesterday at hospital, paid up, now ready to go!!!

I get the shake mix at hi health. I don't know if they have one in your area, but I do know they ship. I also got all my vitamins there, they have a brand specifically for our needs. They are very Bariatric surgery friendly there.

So it has been a long time for me. I started everything last June, did my 3 month med supervised diet. Ended that in November. Got approved in December, even after a hiccup with my pulmonologist, the approval went off without a hitch. Then all progress stopped for a while. My surgeon was in the process of switching hospitals, as he said the one he was doing surgeries at had a care concern. Well, unfortunately, his assistant needed to go through the accreditation process at the new hospital. Took forever!! Finally, April 2 I received my call. Set up for surgery on May 1! Two week liquid starts on April 17. I have been doing a sort of hybrid liquid diet to get my body used to it. I do all liquids, except I do eat a healthy lunch. I found a great Protein shake mix, designed (as I was told by the salesperson, for Bariatric surgery) it's called optim metabolic shake. It isn't too shabby!!

Question about pre op diet
Briohn! replied to Briohn!'s topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks! I know I can do it. Last year I was starting the process and I did well on a diet I put myself on, based on pre op diets I read. Sounds like the 90 day will be a more intense. -
Have a question for anyone who may know. Just trying to get an idea so I can be prepared. My insurance requires a 90 day medically supervised diet, and I am just curious what this may entail. I meet with the nutritionist on the 26 of August, and I know there will be no turning back. So if anyone may have an idea, please let me know!
