I am having the RNY.. Everything happened so fast and now I just get to wait. I start my pre-op diet August 1st so I suppose that gives me plenty of time to sample different Protein Shakes. My pre-op diet is 3 Protein shakes a day and 64 ounces of clear fluids. No solid food for two weeks. I was thinking about asking doctor for something like 1 or 2 ounces of broiled fish a day for the first couple of days.

That sounds super fast, i am so happy for you. I hope everything turns out great during your preop, surgery, and post op.What insurance do you have? Did you have to have 3 or 6 month diet?

Hi. Im in for mine on the 11th august. So we have a little planning time before we take the plunge. My brain is on overdrive thinking about this surgery, ive started a kind of portfolio of everything and anything useful which helps release some of the tension. I just want the day to hurry now.!!

I have Medicare and I just had to show a past failed diet attempt. I did the phentermine diet and had to stop it after a short time because I started having horrible chest pain and tachycardia. That was more than a year ago. My clinic has been amazing!! They are all super nice they are detail oriented. Everyone knows exactly what their job is and they do it well. They are encouraging, prompt on answering phone calls, and always available. They just really know what they are doing and I was actually offered a late July date but decided I would rather wait after the 1st of August and after pay day lol.

Awesome sugarbabe!! We are two days apart. What kind of pre-op diet if any are you required to do? Yes, the waiting is going to be loooong I fear. I have a wonderful portfolio I got from the clinic filled with all kinds of patient information and guidelines. Its got detailed food lists menus and portions for each phase post-op and pre-op and information on all the Vitamins Protein powders etc and I have been devouring that portfolio and added my own to do list. I am beyond ecstatic about this next chapter in life.
