Pre op diet

[jvelasco 6]

Hello! My surgery is on June 12 with Dr.Coburn with SWLC I'm on day 4 of shakes and vegetables. I typically like veggies but it kinda sucks they have to be steamed or or raw . At first I didn't like the shakes but I found that adding instant coffee to them makes it much better ! I'd rather the shakes then the veggies at this point .. 10 more days to go

I will have the same pre op diet as Dr.Cobourn is my surgeon as well, good luck! I have bought several sugar free syrups as well to change up the taste, have you tried them like a popsicle ?

I am having my surgery the same day as you with Dr. Cobourn. I had to do 3 week liquid diet (I think I have 3 weeks because I am a bigger guy). I am on day 11. See you in the recovery room!

Nancy, I'm in Arkansas, too. I'm getting banded by Dr. Wellborn on June 25th. Who was your doctor?

My dr is Dr Luttrell. I love the way he does everything. He called me the day after surgery and checked on me. I have cell phone numbers to him and the nutritionist and I use them often if I have questions. The hospital staff was so friendly and helped me and made sure I was took care of. Everything went great for me. I'm doing great today. I am eating scrambled eggs for Breakfast this morning
