October GS Pals?..

Hola! I'm October 2nd too. Does your doctor require a 2 week preop diet? If so' date=' we're starting on Wednesday!![/quote']

Ok.. Not sure if I'm doing this correctly-- I'm totally new here - I see we both have the same surgery date! Good Luck to you

You're doing just fine! Good luck to you too! Message me if you have any questions, I've been getting ready for my surgery since last last January, so I can answer a lot!

I'm so nervous I finally got my date after months of the process and I'm scheduled for October 2. (2wks away) so nervous! Is it normal to be on a liquid diet because I spoke to my doctor and he only wants me on a high Protein diet as opposed to the liquid

Yay, lots of October 2nd tonight! Welcome! It just depends on the doctor, and your starting bmi sometimes. My doctor has me on a kind of mixed diet. 2 Protein shake meals, and 1 regular meal consisting of 6oz of meat and 1 cup of veggies. Lots of Jello, and I can have 1/2 cup of yogurt or cottage cheese for a snack

Wow- we are on the same diet & the same surgery date .. I'm prepared to feel very hungry over the next 2 weeks :/

My doc told me to eat tons of sugar free Jello if I get hungry. All you can eat Jello, any kids dream. Having anything special for dinner tomorrow night? I'm having Chinese food. Kinda a 'yay last big meal' thing

October 7 for me, too!! Don't know about my preop diet yet, but I've been trying out Protein concoctions, making a few things to freeze for later. I'm looking forward to it...not really that anxious since I went through this before with the band in 2009 and only remember a few highlights. I had a quilt ready to be quilted, so I could pick that up while recovering and have something to do with my hands besides eating!

Me too same dates ... Keep me posted

October 3rd is my day

[bnape29 30]

I decided to begin my 2week pre-op a day and a half early. My liver US said something about having a 'fatty liver' - I figured I could begin shrinking my enlarged liver - it will help w surgery. I love the idea posted above about having a project planned to do during the times of hunger. I turn to food for everything .. So the more occupied I am, the better

My first appt is Oct. 1st. This is the same surgeon that did my mothers surgery. I am expecting Oct 23 to be my date!

bnape, I'm actually starting my preop diet 2 weeks early, because I also have a fatty liver and want to shrink it as much as possible before surgery. So I'm doing two Protein shakes, and some other high protein/low fat Snacks (jerky, LF mozz cheese, LF greek yogurt) and a meal of lean Protein and veggies. Hoping to lose a good bit of weight before surgery, too. Hopefully 15 lbs isn't too idealistic
