DisneyDreaming 42 Posted June 2, 2015 What is the pre op process. It is different for every doctor. Some require a liquid diet for a period of time. My doctor requires 30-40 carb a day for two weeks prior. Your surgeon will let you know what they prefer. Also, your doctor may require additional testing. That will vary from situation to situation. It will depend on what medical issues you have going on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SharonTX 32 Posted June 3, 2015 I'm wondering the same thing. I've told only immediate family. I'm apprehensive about telling people. I feel like this is very personal. But on the other hand, it will also be very noticeable. Not quite sure how to handle questions from people. I thought about this a lot myself, but then I thought, if someone actually asked me flat-out, that would really be quite rude of them, and quite frankly, I would tell them so ! Of course, there are many that will be thinking it. They just won't come out and say it. I think the answer is, you are not obligated to answer or explain anything to anyone, unless you so choose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Next week I will do two meal replacment drinks and a meal. Then it's all liquid till surgery. I'm trying to get my body and mind used to the new me. Lol. So far it's okay. @ her1981 I know what you mean my kids are older but I need to be around for their kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

laguerr13 993 Posted June 4, 2015 T- 6days t surgery and counting, still feeling positive and strong, it was a big boost not to cheat when I went to my Dr.s office Tuesday for my last pre op visit and I weighed in at 349, I started this journey at 388 and started to "practice diet" in March, Dr said I will be at between 328-333 on my surgery date, yesterday I took a few hours to get my "buyers remorse" out of the way, seriously! I sat down and questioned the surgery, pain, and diet, then I got up and proceeded with my day, hopefully I've covered everything! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
