Recommended Posts

Hi I'm New to the forums, but I've read some of the posts and love the support given! I have my date set for June 15th and I started my 2 wk pre-op eating plan today. So far so good!

I'm going on a date tonight (dinner & movie) and I plan to stick with it! Even if it's just sipping on broth! Lol!

I do wish to find a few good people that share the same date sho we can encourage each other on the life long journey. Please share and let me know what your date is!

Thanks!

My date is June 18th! I see everybody on the forum talking about this pre-op diet that I'm not on. My doctor only has me with Clear Liquids the night before. That has me a little worried

Lex,

Don't worry some doctor's do pre op diet some don't. The purpose of the 1200 cal liquid preop diet is to decrease the size of your liver for surgery. It makes the liver easier to work around, but don't worry follow your surgeon's rule and you'll be ok. That's infrfomation I've heard numerous times in support group, and specifically from a surgeon talking at our support group.

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
