Golden girl since we are scheduled the same day, I have questions. My preop mtg with dietary snd surgeon is scheduled the first week in April. I finished all my required visits in Oct last year but have been waiting for surgery due to Covid. I am nervous because I haven’t really lost much weight since then. I know I will need to go strict diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery but anyone else who has not lost a lot of weight preop in their own??? I feel like I should’ve done better. -

Gas can be felt anywhere in stomach and chest area. Can be sharp pains. Many times does go to the shoulder. Will move and get better with walking. -

Surgery date April 19th. Looking forward to it but also a bit anxious. Don’t want to do all if this and then be back where I started. -

Oh awesome! I didn’t know there was an April group. I am still figuring out how to navigate this forum! 😂😂. Yes, I was an RN for years and went back to get my FNP a few years back. Looking forward to this but also a bit anxious…😀 -

Hi all! Anyone scheduled for April?? Just got my date April 19th. Anxious about it all but reassuring to see how others have done and their success. Question- how was the 2 wk prep ? I have very limited plan with basically just 1 meal daily and either a protein shake or protein bar other meals. Wondering if I will feel starved ?? Also heard after surgery it’s liquids but appetite is decreased anyway. How Did you all do it??
