I'm really concern because my doctor gave me a pre op diet to follow. I must have 1200 cal with only one meal, the rest with shakes and bars. Today I had two shakes of 110 cal each and three bars with a total of 460 cal. My one meal only came to 200 calories. My concern is that my total cal intake was about 700 calories and 70g of Protein. Does anybody know if this is still ok?

I found out today that I have a torn meniscus and partial tear of my ACL. Going to see my PCP tomorrow for the clearance letter, and I am hopeful the fact that I wrecked my knee (again) will encourage him to be cooperative so I can keep my October 9th date. It has been hard because I can't exercise much. Say a prayer for me that all goes well tomorrow-I NEED this surgery!

My surgeon didn't mention a flu shot and I haven't heard anything about the flu shot so far this year. My surgery date is fast approaching and I'm stoked!

Flu shots are available and a good idea.i think I will get one this week. My daughter' date=' who is tiny for her age was hospitalized when she was 4 for a week. She caught the flu and became so ill and was re-hospitalized.

Susan 2.0' date=' I will be getting my Flu shot for sure before I go into the hospital im scheduled for 10/29 so I'm getting my flu shot on the 12th of October. Hospitals are the perfect place to catch things, you have the flu for a week before you start to show symptoms so any of those 100's of people patient or staff could sneeze at just the right moment & there you go you've been exposed. I get mine every year, I've had no problems. If you decide to get it just make sure you get it at least 2 weeks before it takes 2 weeks for the vaccine to be fully effective.[/quote']

Thanks for the insight. I'm curious about something someone else said: I don't usually get a flu shot, so should I be concerned about getting sick from it?

Im sure there are people that do get a little sick from getting their flu shot, but its rare, and usually you just feel a little headachy, weak, and sore in the injection site. I gave my friends their first flu shots last year and they had no problems at all. Chances are, you'll be fine without it, but there is a small chance someone will be contagious at wherever it is you'll be having your surgery. If I were in your shoes, I would get it. A couple of my coworkers also got theirs a couple weeks ago and one mentioned she felt a little knot where the injection was...that was it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
