Congratulations! I also have a date of January 17th for surgery. I am getting excited but am also a little nervous. What does your pre-op diet consist of as my MD has not told me to be on one yet? I see him on the 7th and perhaps that is when they will go over that. Best of luck with everything.

Regular Jello, fruit flavored regular popsicles, or no sugar added fudgsicles- 3 or less a day

Milk, light yogurt, cottage cheese-less than 3 servings a day

Low carb protien shake-2 servings a day

Congratulations as well. My surgery date is the 18th. I'm also 260 lbs. give or take a few pounds depending on the day. I'm nervous and excited as well.

I wrote a stent about the Protein shakes I'm taking and they're really good (in the thread, "what's your favorite pre-op Protein shake). I've not as hungry as I thought I would be and they're sugar free.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you. I hope these next few days go fast and that your recovery is swift. Hang in there.

      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.
