Hello my I am new to the site. I'm schedule for surgery 11-11-13. I don't go to class until 10-28 and the say I will be there most of the day. At that time I will be put on the pre-op diet as well. What does the pre-op diet consist of? Or is there a link where I can find this info? Thanks

Hello and welcome! Everyone's Pre-Op diet seems to be different. I know that when I had my last appt with the surgeon is when he told me what i would be having on my 2 week diet. Gave me options of different Protein Drinks that I will have to drink for those 2 weeks. Good luck!

I have my final appointment with the nutritionist tomorrow. Hoping she signs off but feeling anxious. Last we met the goal was early November.

How did your appointment go?

Had my NUT appt today and went well. She did tell me she wants to see me one more time before surgery!! Was not prepared for that. I was told only 1 visit was needed. I have my pre-op visit tomorrow and the surgeon is supposed to submit all paperwork to insurance co tomorrow ! I emailed NUT and she assured me her paperwork will be submitted and all should be ok. Fingers crossed all goes well tomorrow and paperwork will be submitted with no delays ! This surgery needs to happen on the 4th !! Ready for the change.

Some ppl do. Not everyone. Depends on ur dr, so that would be a question to ask him.

We have to have a catheter? <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />

I think so. Some people I've talked to have had it and some people haven't. So I'm just up in the air!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
