EpicBunny 6 Posted June 13, 2013 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 1 Brenda0928 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
julia7665 100 Posted June 13, 2013 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! 3 Brenda0928, Dee White and SlimDreams reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taingra 2 Posted June 14, 2013 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. 1 brandnew reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ratrita 45 Posted June 14, 2013 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. 5 neneh_vsg, nursesettie, SheWins1 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would like to ask for everyones prayers. Thank you. 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! 2 Dee White and Brenda0928 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get a weird feeling every time i take a sip Not so much with Water, but I did have some awkwardness with Jello and broth. Nothing terrible, just a little odd feeling.
