ShrinkyDinkMe101 82 Posted July 22, 2013 Endoscopy done...everything looks good! Start my two week liquid diet and have Psych eval tomorrow. Can't decide if I want to have something yummy (carby) for my last pre-surgery meal or just stick to low carb the way I've been doing since approval. I want to lose as much weight as possible before surgery, so I guess I know what my answer is... 2 dollyhazel and 1sassygal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supermom223 140 Posted July 22, 2013 I'm so annoyed right now. I got approved and scheduled for surgery for August 6th. My hubby took off work to stay with my kids and am having a cousin who took off work help me with kids the following week. The surgeons office said that surgeon wont even be in that day..ugh..Why would they give me that day..so I got August 8th..rearranged everything for august 8th including drs appointments.. Then I get my packet in email saying Im approved for the lapband which i had inquired about initially but when i submitted my packet everything stated the sleeve. Ah so now scheduler tells me he doesnt do the sleeve on the 8th because his "sleeve" assistant isnt in that day. so now im waiting around till tomorrow so that I can rearrange my husband and mothers schedule as well as all my drs appointment..Little bumps in the road but still annoyed!!

I can do 2 liquid meals and one Protein and salad for dinner.< /div> Opps I was wrong...was told today I am on all liquids for 2 weeks..and all the shakes I bought are no acceptable...they gave me a strict list of 5 different shakes to try..they want me drinking like 6 shakes a day...Sounds crazy 2 me. But I have to have 1200 cals a day...and I was looking forward to my grilled chicken dinners. Ohh well.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SmilinNC 27 Posted July 23, 2013 Me too !!

Share this post Link to post Share on other sites dollyhazel 3 Posted July 23, 2013 August 26 is my day. I am scared and excited and apprehensive. So many emotions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites nyorker 67 Posted July 23, 2013 hey there' date=' just started my pre-op this morning. I am surprised to see how many of you seem to have a lot of «freedom» when it comes to what to eat/drink. I have to stick to 4 opti-fast Protein shake a day (chocolate or vanilla)...pretty gross, and only 3 cups of veggies (natural) a day. I just drank my second Protein Shake and could not finish it...it is so thick and yucky. I wonder if it is bad that i do not finish the shakes...At least, I feel terrific, so far so good ...The thing i miss the most already: a piece of gum. It usually gives me a little boost, but i have no intention to cheat. I actually don't understand how come so many people on here say they cheated...Personnally,my pre-op diet is for only two weeks and also it's self-paid and though my parents are the one paying, i have no intention to put their money to waist... If some of you have started a while ago, i would love to know what part of the pre-op you found most difficult. Usually, are the first couple days the most difficult, or is it towards the end, or else ? It's great to know when everyone is getting their surgery, but it would be nice to ask our questions, share our experience/feelings on this page.
