Let us know how yours went when you are up to it.

I am still in the pre-op testing phase. My EDG is Tuesday 8/6. My sleep study is 8/9! I would love to begin my 2wk pre-op diet on 8/12 so I can get it done by the end of the month. My 2wk vacation is my window of opportunity.

The EDG was fine. Nothing big to worry about. When they tried the first time I threw up. They gave me more meds and I passed smooth out. I don't remember a thing. I just have a little sore throat and that's it! Bring on the surgery that's WEDNESDAY!!!!!!

I'm scheduled for August 8. Just found out toddy. I've read on here about 1-2 weeks on liquid diet. My doctor only told me to be on the liquid diet for two days prior to surgery. Anybody know why the times are so different?

My doctor had me start a protien diet with no more than 70 grams of carbs the week before surgery. Every doctor is different from what I have read in these comments. I am following the Atkins phase 1 online diet right now and tomorrow nothing to eat, only sips of Water since my surgery is tomorrow.

I've started my pre-op all liquid diet that I'll be in for two weeks....then I will be sleeved!

How about you?

Thankfully my doc didn't require a pre-op diet. Monday I have my pre-op Hosp appt and Wed. my PCP medical clearance and then sleeved on the 14th.

My doc did require a slew of preliminary testing by various specialist so it's taken me months to get to this point. Super excited!

My only concerns are my mental desires to eat and drink the things I love.

I was told by my surgeon I cannot have single incision bc of possible scar tissue or adhesions from my lap band. He wants to be able to see from both directions. So 5 more incisions for me :-(

Rather be safe! Best of luck!

Hello everyone I'm new to this site and this is my first post. I'm scheduled for August 28th and i just had my pre-op class. I'm going through all emotions as well' date=' happy, excited, very nervous, scared. Working on a mantra to keep me calm.[/quote']

Recommendations for my August Sleever Family:

Get pillows - it makes it easier to get you into a comfortable position

Heating pad or rice bag - even if your shoulder doesn't hurt you are still on your back quite a bit. The heat from the pad helps to relieve some of muscle stress

Get Mio Sports - it has electrolytes and B Vitamins - something a little more than Water and clear Soup and the electrolytes help with Fluid absorption

Walk - I know it will hurt but walk when you can' date=' go slow' keep shoulders back, and eyes up (your feet have not changed so no Need to stare at them.

Use your leg muscles and not your stomach muscles when getting up and down off seats - less pain (plus your first mini workout )

Get Chloraseptic spray - it helps to get those important fluids down

Lastly ask for and accept help. With your care givers help it helps take off the strain at times where your stomach muscles might engage.[/quote']

Thanks for the tips!
