Jana64 65 Posted January 3, 2015 What type of pre-op diet are you guys supposed to follow? Mine is 10-14 days of high Protein low carb and then just nothing to eat the day of surgery. My doctor is not requiring a pre-op liquid diet for me. I guess because I am right near the 40 BMI mark. But I will still plan to step back from foods the week or ten days prior to my surgery so that going to all liquids is not a big shock to my system and so that I don't have solids in my digestive tract before the surgery. 32 days left and counting down...

Jana64 65 Posted January 3, 2015 Tonight I was out driving in town and I saw that the moon was nearly full. I realized tonight that this is the last full moon that I will see before my surgery, it falls on a full moon, too. I am virtually assured that I will be having a period during my surgery. That kind of sucks. Oh well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blondiebabs 214 Posted January 3, 2015 What type of pre-op diet are you guys supposed to follow? Mine is 10-14 days of high Protein low carb and then just nothing to eat the day of surgery. I have 14 days of 4 Protein drinks or bars and I can have one small meal a day, I have to keep it at 1200 calories a day, high Protein and low carb. They gave me a schedule of what time to have my drinks/bars & meal each day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brigette 65 Posted January 19, 2015 Well, Guys, The count down is for real, now. Though I am extremely excited, I am starting to get very nervous. I still have not submitted my FMLA papers. How is everyone else feeling? I am having a revision for lap band to sleeve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
