I have no formal pre-op plan. I just can't gain wait before surgery.

:(

I actually put myself on my own plan starting yesterday (because surgery is two weeks away)... Been doing Protein shakes for Breakfast and lunch and having a protest rich dinner. Am hoping this will make the transition easier.

I am ready to get this surgery done with already! :)

Best wishes, for the first day of your new life, tomorrow! My banding date is 19 Aug. I'm excited & a bit nervous. Sure a lot of people have felt that way. was supposed to begin my 2-wk pre=op diet tomorrow, but my daughter & family were here on vacation and I lost track of time on ordering my Protein powder; ordered this past Fri. a.m. Hopefully, it'll be delivered no later than this Tuesday. :huh:

I just had my band surgery on Tuesday. My doctor just required a 1500 calorie diet before surgery. I'm on the liquid diet now...but I'm ready to move it forward to my soft food diet bc I have alot more options. Good luck to all!

Going well. Admittedly, I was much more sore and tired than I anticipated. Today is the first day of 'phase 2' of my post-op diet I will say, though, that I am amazed how much better I felt yesterday and today compared to Monday & Tuesday.

      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.
