Dear Pinkeez,

Congrats!! The preop diet takes some getting used to.... I have this Protein Powder from my Doc called Chike. It is THE BEST tasting shake I've ever had! I just shake it up in my blender bottle....

We are going to do FANTASTICALLY!!! Keep your spirits up, we are on a rewarding journey. This is my third day of preop diet, and am already down 8 pounds. Have a great day.

Luv,

EpicBunny <3

Hi, I have my surgery scheduled for June 26. I am both nervous and excited! I have my final weigh in on Monday the 17th, but there has been no mention of a preop diet so far. Guess I will find out then!

Hi June sleevers, I am also the 25th. Hopefully, I had preop testing and was found to be very anemic. So now I'm worried about how did I get this way. Now have a heart murmur, it may be due to anemia. Otherwise besides the very large paraesophogeal hernia. Things are going good. already lost my 10% and started my preop diet. I would like to ask for everyones prayers. Thank you.

Congrats to all the recent sleevers. Our journey begins now. My surgery went well and recovery is going great. I do admit that it is difficult to get all the fluids in when you are NOT hungry.

Oh my gosh you sound like me exactly! I had an Iron infusion a little over a month ago and last week they found that I have an irregular heartbeat so I am not cleared yet. I have an echo on Monday. They also found on my EGD that I have a hiatal hernia. I am thankfully down quite a few from my high and hope the preop takes more away! Good luck and I will have you in my prayers!

That will continue while your stomach is healing. Just keep taking it slow and sip, sip, sip!

I'm 2 days out and so far I haven't had problems with anything. Orange Isopure tastes the best.

Not so much with Water, but I did have some awkwardness with Jello and broth. Nothing terrible, just a little odd feeling.

      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.
