One Month To Go- Nervous But Can't Wait



Recommended Posts

I just got my surgery date. It was set for may 31 but then they pushed it back to June 7- I was so bummed. Now the countdown has begun and every day I seem to get more nervous and it's only been a few day - lol. I can't imagine what kind of basket case I will be by the surgery date.

My Dr is not requiring any special pre- op diet other then one day of liquids only the day before surgery, this seems odd compared to do many others. Any suggestions on things I should or should not do in this next month?

Thanks!

Even though your dr doesn't require you to do the pre op diet I would definitely stop caffeine and soda if you drink it and I would start eating high Protein low carb and fresh fruit and veggies it will get your body used to a new kind of life!!!

Don't do the last suppers!!! My friend did and put on 18 pounds in two weeks. Her op was a few years before mine. And now if there is a weight gain between the first consult and surgery, they stop the surgery. This is the surgeries rules, as the want everyone to get on board mentally before the op.

I agree best option is eat health and similar to want is expected afterwards, although your portion pre-op are going to be alot larger. I'm 5days post op my meals are 4teaspoons of soft mushy food.

I stopped caffeine beverages too. Started to eat clean 2 weeks prior to gastric bypass surgery.

No fried foods. No red meat. No high fat. Your bowels will thank you!! Believe me, it was easier for me to start weaning myself like that.

Yes being careful about what I eat already, even though gave no requirements. I might do a liquid diet myself for two days preop to ensure everything works out. I'm so confused about the wide variety of rules each dr seems to use. I would think there would be a common course of treatment and expectations across the board. It's the same for post op diet and expectations- its kinda of frustrating and worrisome. How Fo you know what to follow to really ensure success?

I wasn't required to do a prep diet but I did have to stop alcoholic drinks, motrin, Vitamins, caffeine and fried foods, and sugars 2 weeks prior to surgery. Had my BMI been higher then I would've had to do the two week liguid diet

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
