Yep! That's all my surgeon required, although I put myself on hardcord Atkins for a few days before to get the sugar out of my system.

I was shocked when I found out I was only going to have a two day pre-op diet! I think I am going to start a high Protein low carb diet this Sunday, my surgery is Wednesday, March 24 so that will give me about a week and a half. It certainly can't hurt and I would like the head start! When are you scheduled?

I totally understand, everyone keeps asking if I am excited and all I can say is "I am but I just want to be on the other side of it". I read your post about being fearful of leaving your daughter and I was so touched by it I couldn't even reply. My youngest is 17 and I share your fears! I am quite sure your daughter is much younger. But, on the other hand I am 49, diabetic, high blood pressure and just plain sick of not being able to move freely. I prayed for you yesterday and will continue to do so.

Robbie, than you so much. I am extremely touch that you had me in your prayers. I attribute the generous and caring people like you to making me feel so much better than I did when I first wrote that post. I was in a bad place then. Your prayers have brought me peace of mind and that I thank you and the others from the bottom of my heart.

When I finally get to that stage, I will be on 1000 calorie diet for 2 weeks. 2 meals with Protein shakes and dinner of 3 1/2 oz Protein, 1 cup of veggies with 1 tsp evoo, and 1 cup of fruit with 1 tsp evoo.....

Hope I can survive the hunger issue......

Through all the tests I've been through in the last 3 weeks, I just keep telling myself, "It's for the surgery....It's for the surgery" lol

breekahouse - I had 1-day of clear fluids before surgery also. Also the 1st week was clear fluids and now as I'm in my 2nd week I'm on full liquids. Then I move to mushies for 2 weeks.

      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.
