Karen B45 38 Posted March 11, 2012 My surgeon didn't give me a pre-op diet. Maybe I should start my own.......But my hubby is like "Let's eat this! It will be your last time in a while." And I'm like yeah your right....lol Are you just drinking Protein shakes? I was actually trying but... Didn't go so well. My absolute must do shakes only starts tomorrow, though, so today is my last day of "real" food. I am so excited and nervous how about you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cissiesue 119 Posted March 12, 2012 Kbs, when I spoke with Dr Kelly, he told me that he does require a two week pre op diet, but no one follows it! So he said the days is the absolute minimum, and should be more if your bmi is over 40! Best of luck to you my dear! I can't wait to hear about your success in the near future!

Thanks for the info! you can call me Karen, that's my name if you would like. I really tried to do more days, and did fine at work, just not so well the weekend! So I am totally ready for my three days, taking my laxative tonight at bedtime (tmi I know). I am so so so excited!!! I think I got most everything at the store except the gas strips, so looks like I will be walking over to the drugstore at lunchtime from work tomorrow. Did I mention I was a little excited?

VSG-LLL 5 Posted March 12, 2012 Hi, My name is Patty I am having surgery on Friday the 23rd Dr Umbach is also my doctor. Do you live in Las Vegas? I am glad you had a great experience. I don't live in Vegas. I live in Seattle. A friend of mine was sleeved by Dr. Umbach about a year & 1/2 ago and had a good experience. I had a great experience with Dr. Umbach last week. Feel free to ask specific questions. Even if you have questions about the hotel stay & recovery. Loran Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
