November surgeries?

[maddsnerdspunk 26]

Congrats Linds' date=' what an awesome gift to yourself! Wishing you much success on your WL journey! Hey Madds, this is my 5th day of pre-op liquid diet...it does get better like others on here have said. I only get broths, sugar free Jello & Popsicles and of course Protein Shakes can be made with 1% milk 5-6 a day. They say to drink the first shake 30-60 minutes of waking up. I cannot add any fruit or have any caffeine. I know this is for the liver shrink so I am sticking to it, I just want everything to go smoothly. Lol! As we all do. Best of luck to you both. Yea! We are already in the month of our surgery! ❤11-11-13❤[/quote']

Do you have all your Vitamins too?

I see the the nut for our final visit on Monday I then start my pre-op diet on the same day now I'm nervous because my surgery is coming fast 11/19/13

Saw the surgeon and pre-op nurse today. 11/19 is my surgery date. Was told that I have a large hiatal hernia. He is going to repair that at the same time as my bypass. Said it would add about an hour to the surgery. Think I am lucky because some Drs want that done as separate operation. I will be doing my own pre-op diet starting a week before surgery. I have lost weight and he is happy with my results. In the meantime, using My Fitness Pal, substituting one meal with Protein Shake and being very careful of diet. If I follow the guidelines now, it will make it easier later.

From what I heard chapstick

Thanks for the well wishes and congrats everyone. I woke up today and it was the first time I realized I have a date and am just waiting for surgery day! What an odd feeling!

I have heard Chapstick too for the hospital bag. Loose clothes, socks, maybe a laptop if you can get to the internet?

I have a question for all of you actually...I am starting to get stuff on my shopping list regarding Vitamins, Protein powders, etc. I'm having a difficult time finding a Calcium supplement that meets the surgeons requirements. It needs to preferably be a citrate not carbonate. Liquid or chewable, without any sugary stuff in it. What have you guys found out there? I am on a Flintstones Iron Chewable and will start Natures Valley B-12. Each time I look at these vitamins and powders, I get really overwhelmed. Anybody wanna share??

Rafe3 I too am having band to rny!!!! My surgery is Monday November 4th at 5am I also love the Unjury shakes but in addition to those there is a Protein Shake called Premier Protein that I buy at Sams Club. .it has 30 grams of protein 1 gram of sugar and taste even better than unjury it has no after taste!! Congratulations on your surgery and I know you are super excited like me to get rid of this band
