aNuMe 59 Posted September 24, 2012 Why are you having to do a month of the liquid diet? I suppose if you can do a month' date=' I can surely do two weeks. Thanks for the encouragement. I'm new to this site and not sure if this will go through...but I hope you will stay in touch especially since we have the same surgery date...I am 3rd up...so they say I will go in around 8:30.[/quote'] I have no clue why I have to do s month I think it all depends on the amount of weight your surgeon wants you to lose although he didnt give me a amount to lose, I know sum one whos way bigger than me and they have to do 6 weeks. When I went to my class there was people who was doing a week or less, and wasnt that big so I figure it prob goes by either your size or the amount you need to lose.

Clairpooh 53 Posted September 24, 2012 My pre op ed class is today sept 24 and I cant sleep my appt is n less than 8hrs & I gotta be up in 2&1/2hrs im gonna be sleepy. Good morning, I'm everything will just fine. The only surprise I had at my pre-op was having to start the liquid diet the next day instead of today. I'm still waiting for a call from the hospital so I can go back and do my blood work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L Belle 96 Posted September 24, 2012 Well I had my pre-op appointment today & also pre-registeration at the hospital. I had labs, ekg, answered a zillion questions ..asked a ton too! I start my liquid diet on the 1st & then surgery follows on the 15th. Very anxious, excited, overwhelmed... you name it & I've probably felt it! lol I love reading everyone's post here in the October thread because we are going through pretty much the same things. I had mine on the 20th as well, but never had to have an EKG. Went the a 1.5 hr Q&A with the Pre-op Nurse who as totally awesome. Start my pre-op diet 10-1 as well... It's like we are surgery twins! hahahah ** I went out this weekend and bought a few different Protein Drinks to try. I am drinking one for Breakfast today that I found at Walmart. It's called "Lean Body, on the go", vanilla Ice Cream flavor, and it's YUMMY. 25g Protein too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
