RobynB1989 replied to Jamie1970's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
im getting a little nervous. Ive been on the pre-op diet since last thursday and today I went to have my last appointment wiht the surgeon before my surgery and I only lost 4 pounds. I know that the liver shrinking diet isnt for losing weight, but now he wants me to lose 8 pounds by my surgery and i am worried that its not going to happen. also during my appointment, he couldnt feel my liver. I am wondering about that. Are they supposed to be able to feel livers. I am worried that it is too big and they wont do the operation. -
I have a question - did anyone on here have an allergic reaction to antibiotics that you were given during or after surgery? I am asking this because I am allergic to a list of antibotics that is a mile long, and I am worried that they will give me one that I havent had before and I will have an allergic reaction to it.

that sounds interesting! Im not really a milk fan, but maybe I should try it. So now that the surgery is getting closer, are you nervous? I am very nervous. I just found out my date 2 days ago, and I dont think it has really sunk in that its going to be in less than 2 weeks, but i am very very nervous. I am sure that everything is going to be ok, but this is my first surgery, with the exception of me getting my wisdom teeth out.

I am on day 2 of my Pre-op diet, and Im doing alright. I had a hard time finding a protien drink that didnt make me gag. That is nice to hear that you already lost 8 pounds! I dont have a scale that will weight me at home, so Ill probably be weighed when I go in to have my blood test, and then Ill get weighed right before my surgery. Good luck!

I went to the vitamin shoppe this morning and got Nectar by Syntax. It was more like juice and thats why I got it because I am not a milk fan, so slim fast wouldnt work for me. I didnt like the taste of the nectar though, so I added a packet of crystal light lemonade to it which made it bearable. I just want to find something else that I can tolerate so that I can have a little variety

Jamie, My surgery is scheduled for the same day as yours! I just started my pre-op diet today, and it was pretty easy, but I know that its going to get harder. I am really looking forward to losing weight though, so I will do all I can to make sure it happens! Good Luck! -
Good Luck everyone! I have 13 days until my surgery, and I am very very nervous. I started my pre-op liver shrinking diet today and I have a feeling that this is going to be very hard for me, but I know I can do it. What kind of protien shakes do you guys recomend?

I hope I do well...Right now Im having a hard time finding protien shakes that I can drink. I have Nectar in the crystal blue, which is ok, adn then i added a packet of sugar free crystal light lemonade to it and that made it sweeter. What protien drinks did you drink? do you have any advice for getting through the next 2 weeks?

My pre op diet is a protien drink for Breakfast, a protien drink for lunch wiht a small piece of fruit, 2 oz cheese or half cup yogurt for a sack, then a small piece of meat and a cup of vegetables and a piece of fat free whole wheat bread. then half an apple or 10 baby carrots for snack later
