Day 1 of Preop Diet



Recommended Posts

Horrible date for my first day of Preop Diet. All of my coworkers have brought in leftover candy from Halloween. chocolate everywhere! Then on top of that, it's also my first day of smoking rehab. But I'm determined to push thru... Surgery date 11/12/14. So excited!!! and impatient... Reading everything I can find, journaling and taking notes. This journey initiated over 2 years ago, started the process and backed out thinking that I could lose and keep the weight off without surgical intervention. Well here I am again with an additional 30 lbs to lose. Good luck to all of us November Banders!

The 2 week preop diet was the hardest thing I've done in my whole life!!, lol. But I did it and lost 20 pounds. I backed out from surgery the first time too thinking I could do it on my own. My family and coworkers insisted I could and I listened. Boy was that a mistake. Read as much as you can on the lap band. Watch videos by Dr. Paul O'Brien on youtube. You got this. Good Luck.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
