Day 2 of the preop diet blues....



Recommended Posts

One day down, 13 more to go. Actually I am cheating already....I am out of town on business and "assumed" I would be able to get the two Protein drinks I like at the GNC here. Dontcha know they were out of both of them. I sm supposed to be doing 2-3 low carb shakes and 1 small low carb, low fat meal. So, I have been doing all low carb low fat meals. Luckily I go home today and have all of my shakes and food ready and waiting. This is gonna be a long two weeks! I gave found that crushed ice is my best friend. If I can crunch on that all day I am ok. Glad I am working at a hospital cuz they have the BEST ice! Gotta look for the rainbow in every storm!

Have a great and inspiring day all!

Hiya

Good luck with the rest of it - I start mine on Thursday, and luckily only have a week, but its all liquids.< /p>

The only plan I have for mine is to get out of the house with the dog when the food urges take me, and read thru my list of all the reasons why I want the surgery done, and how being in tip top health going into it will help me....I can't fail this one having failed every other dieting attempt over the last 22 yrs!!

day three of the pre-op diet here (doc wants three weeks of the pre-op liquid).

Its no party but I just get through it. I've gotten used to carrying around two Siggs - one full of Water & the other full of chicken broth. throw in a couple of organic soy Protein shakes (zero sugars) and that's the day. I've been sitting right at 80g Protein & 800-900 calories for the day.

      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.
