Pre Op Diet starts tomorrow.



Recommended Posts

I start my pre-op diet tomorrow and I can say that I am really ready. I have known for a month when my surgery was and ate at the places I knew I wouldn't be going to for a while. And now I am over food. I am ready to start the pre-op diet and move right onto the surgery.

I get four Protein shakes a day and then at dinner I can either do Lean Cuisine/Smart Ones or 3 ounces of meat and 1/2 cup of vegetables.

I am so ready to move on that I hope that it all goes smoothly.

I went in today and had my pre-op lab work and EKG done and hope that it all looks good, the nurse said that the cardiologist would be happy with it so hopefully that is a good sign.

Just can't wait for the 13th of April to get here so I can move on and appreciate the gift I am receiving.

I don't think that I will ever be able to thank my doctor and the Lap-Band® people for the gift of banding. I know that I will have to pay taxes on it, but I wouldn't be able to do it any other way.

So, wish me luck on the pre-op diet and I will let you all know how the first few days go.:thumbup:

Best of luck to you! I know how you feel. I did so much Last Supper Syndrome eating I actually got tired of eating. I started a preop (my doctor did not require it) on March 8 and now I am down 16 pounds and my appetite is much reduced. I feel ready to have my surgery which is scheduled on April 7.

The frist few days are hard, but after that you appetite starts to go away. It gets better!

I'm starting my pre-op diet today, and also getting pre surgical testing in a few hours. I'm so nervous, but I know everything is worth it in the end.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
