What's your surgery date? He was very cool when I first met him and came highly recommended from a friend.

My surgery date is June 4th. I'm actually at the hospital right now doing my pre op appt.

Good luck! Maybe we'll run into each other at a support group get together. Please let me know your experience as you go.

Started my pre-op diet yesterday and it wasn't bad at all!!! After having my Breakfast and lunch I wasn't hungry when it came time for dinner, which I was very surprised. I did go ahead and have my dinner shake and a cup of yogurt. I hate to say but I went to the restroom all night.

Did this happen to anyone else?

I too was in the restroom all night and all morning this morning, but having increased my Water intake to nearly double that which is the minimum required for my pre-op diet, I'm not surprised. More Water and more urination is not a bad thing.

LOL..... Yeah mine as well. :-) which pre-op diet are you following? I see that just about everyone is doing something different.

Yeah. I was discussing that with my boyfriend last night. My doc has his patients on a 1 week liquid diet. I can have 4-5 shakes a day, SF-jello, broth, skim milk, and 64oz of Water. The shakes have to have over 20mg of Protien, and less than 10mg of Carbs. (I hope I wrote that correctly, Im typing from memory.) Then the day before surgery, its all Clear liquids only: Water, broth, non-red sport drinks. That's the day I dread!

How about you?

The clear liquids is because red ones can appear to be blood. SO best not to have them in the system! I do pre-op on Monday (June 3), endoscopy on Tuesday, sleeve on Wednesday. WHEW!!

I am taking EAS Advantage, it's a soy base and I love the chocolate, vanilla and strawberry, I have tried the Unjury shakes too. Love the chicken flavor.

I'm glad you feel better. How did the pre-op appt go? I have mine next Thursday. I don't know how much time it will take, but I'm setting aside the whole day.
