Jackie W 68 Posted February 24, 2013 hey FaithOnly looks like 3/11 is our day!! If i dont see my dr. till 3/5, there isnt a whole lot of time left for pre-op diet then right? Nothings been mentioned so far? does it have to do with your current build/weight? thanks If I were you I would check with my dr because originally I was scheduled for the 2/27, but because when I got the call about being approved I was not told to do the pre op diet,therefor like you I thought the same and when I went to my pre op appointment I was told differently and they had to reschedule my surgery.

Sandilee0210 75 Posted February 24, 2013 stephanieg89' date=' I told work that I was having surgery, but did not specify what kind. I don't think they can legally ask what surgery you are having, it would violate your right to privacy. To everyone being banded in March, please know that you are in my prayers! I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. Not being required to do liquid, but think I will anyway, just due to ease. It will be difficult, as I still have a husband and five kids to cook for. I am thinking that I may be doing a lot of freezer cooking in the next two weeks! Someone mentioned Peanut Butter powder...I would sure love to know where to get it! Hang in there, everyone, our time is coming![/quote'] PB2 you can get it Hy-Vee in their organic department Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mileend 12 Posted February 25, 2013 I am new here and have a surgery date of March 4th. I started a two-week pre-op diet on Feb 18th, which for me is 4 Ideal Fast Protein Shakes for a total of 900 calories plus unlimited non-starchy veggies, raw or boiled or steamed, but no butter or oil on them. The first 5 days I was brutally hungry but now not so much! Anyone else drinking the Ideal Fast shakes? They are so gross. I add abut twice the amount of Water and just choke them back. I hate sucralose! 1 SaraWalk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
