Susan 2.0 278 Posted August 30, 2012 October 15th! Scared and excited Yay! We're sleeve twins :-). What time is your surgery? I'm bright & early at 7am. I just hope my doc is a morning person!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zenoosh 112 Posted August 30, 2012 Ok, I wrote a long drawn out reply to chad2rad, but the site got squirly on me so I'll paraphrase...on the main page, there's a ton of info re: pre-op plans and other great tips. Im doing an Atkins type plan. Low carb, below 20 grams net carbs. Its not easy: im missing sugar and starch, but its a great way to shrink that fatty liver! As far as preop liquids, every surgeon has different plan for that. Some want 2 weeks liquids, some only 1 week...mine wants a few days post up to be light and the day before, liquids only. Im going to start Protein Shakes about 1-2 weeks prior to surgery to shrink that liver even more, and get my stomach ready for the shock...btw, I love your handle, chad2rad...well played, sir! :-) 1 chad2rad reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All that matters is we both are still scheduled and getting our sleeve.... I know, I was afraid of that happening that's why I was so apprehensive about picking a date. I just knew it would potentially conflict. But at least u can still go in Oct. I was so frustrated I started to just wait til Nov like I originally planned, my hubby said what's a few days just go ahead and keep it in Oct. he says I'm obsessed and consumed with this surgery, lol!
