Getting ready for surgery March 31!



Recommended Posts

Ive been on a low carb diet for a week and when I went for my weighin at the clinic I actually gained 1 lb. I could'nt believe it. I did not cheat at all. The rules are at clinic is that you cannot gain any weight before surgery. Since I gained 1 lb they moved my surgery up one week to March 31. I have to go back before the surgery to make sure I lost that lb. I don't know what to do. I am still going to follow the diet and hope I can lose the weight.

Are you required to do that pre-op liquid diet before your surgery? Congratulations by the way.

Good luck. Mine is scheduled for March 31st at 1 pm Boston time. However I have one more test on the 23rd and unless that one is OK I won't be able to have lapband at all. That would leave bypass or sleeve for me, which are definately NOT my first choice. Keep your fingers crossed. Kim:confused:

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
