I am a stay at home mom with 3 kids under 3. I have 7 days of torture...I mean liquid pre-op diet and today is only day 1. I'm allowed to have as many sugar free popsicles and Jello as I want, but I can't eat it infront of the kids or they will beg and whine for some and eat my whole stash! Making them Breakfast was no big deal this morning because I wasn't starving yet. I just made them a snack and I wanted to eat SO bad so I sent them in the other room to sit at their table so I could sneak a cup of jello. How do you guys do this? I want to eat popsicles and jellow like once an hour to keep my stomach from eating itself (well that's what it feels like anyway), but I can't!!!

Are you drinking Protein Drinks? That she help keep you feeling full. I only had to do one day liquid diet before surgery and after surgery 4 weeks (that was hell). Your Doctor's office should have given you a list of different liquids you can have. Good luck on your journey.

I can have 2 protein-ish drinks a day (atkins, slimfast, etc). I've already had one so I'm trying to wait on the other one. I can also have 2 c. raw beggies and 1 small fruit. I had the fruit at Breakfast so I'm trying to space things out a little. I wonder why all of the surgeons do things differently? They had a group of 6 of us doing the preop bloodwork and testing and told us all the same thing (regardless of current weight). So I guess that has nothing to do with it? I don't know, but it's torture already. And knowing that some only have to do 1 day (or none at all) makes it worse! Although I see that some have 2 whole weeks of it. Yikes. I'm excited to see the scale go down so I need to keep reminding myself of that. Oh well, off to meet with the surgeon for the last time before surgery next week! Thanks for the reply. :)

      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.
