Goodgonebad 38 Posted September 19, 2012 Ok, I went to my pre-op visit with the Nurse for 1hour then with Lori for 1hour. The pre-op diet is for 1 week and you can only have protien shakes mixed with Water and water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

juny 93 Posted September 19, 2012 So did the last meetings leave you feeling prepared? I just have this feeling no matter how much prep work, i'm still not going to feel like i appreciate the scope of whats coming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goodgonebad 38 Posted September 19, 2012 I thought I was prepared! I found out that his sleeve patients have to be on full liquids for TWO whole months after surgery! woah.... He is taking extra caution for leaks which I can appreciate. I hope I can make it : / Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juny 93 Posted September 20, 2012 That's a big concern for me. I mean, I know i'm going to have a hard time just on the preop liquid diet. i really hope my body changes enough to allow me to get through 70 days of liquid. Just the sound of it makes me worry.

That is long too....but 2 Months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goodgonebad 38 Posted September 22, 2012 yep, days 1-14 (clear liquid diet) week 3-8 (Protein drinks and Vitamins) week 9 (full liquid/Blenderized and FINALLY week 10 (soft to regular foods). I suppose if Dr. Cahill extended the liquid portion it must be for a good reason. oh well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
