aeromech 202 Posted March 7, 2013 I am scheduled for surgery on the 20th and am on day 2 of the pre-op diet. food is all I think about! At least I am allowed 4-6oz of lean meat if I need to feel the chewing sensation. Also 4-6 shakes per day. I am excited for sure! 2 SaraWalk and Dragonfly8a reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
readyforthin 28 Posted March 7, 2013 My update: I was banded first thing this morning so I'm only around 6 hours out. They repaired my hernia too. I have been home for almost 5 hours. I'm only a little sore. Mostly at the port site. But the pillow helps that when coughing and moving. And I am keeping fingers crossed that I'm one of the lucky ones because I have had minimal gas pain so far. I have my gas ex and heating pad for the little bit that I do feel. Yay! I'm official now! 6 cullychick, Dragonfly8a, gg83 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeachGirl928 1 Posted March 8, 2013 March 15th surgery date here. 1 week into the liquid diet and it's NOT THAT BAD!!! You can do it!!! I've found it's helpful to stay busy (obviously) and go to bed earlier so that you don't have a chance to get hungry late at night. 1 week to go and counting!! 1 Shelleymb reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karanicole26 39 Posted March 8, 2013 March 14 here. Already had pre op testing and a little bump in the road with an abnormal EKG but I saw a cardiologist and I'm good to go for surgery. I start my 3 day pre op diet on Monday. I was nervous but now I'm just excited! Any advice on what bariatric Vitamins everyone is taking or what the best kind are?

Sandilee0210 75 Posted March 8, 2013 Well day 4 of 14 on my pre-op diet, I am down 7lbs! Afternoons are harder for me but those numbers on the scale are motivation! I am really getting excited! Today I am full of energy and spunk. Hope everyone is healing well and my fellow pre-opers... We got this, just a bump in the road! 1 SaraWalk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
