retrieverguy 411 Posted October 12, 2015 Marcia I had an acute heart attack 1.5 years ago and my insurance approved my WLS. They want to make sure your heart can tolerate the surgery. You should be ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It kind of blows me away to see the wide variety of pre- and post-op food plans that different doctors/systems require. I'm doing it the Kaiser way, which seemed really restrictive until I hear your story! -sd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ragedddy 73 Posted October 13, 2015 Hey, it's me. Surgery October 5th. I found it to be much more painful than I expected. But finally feeling better. Started walking. I am on Clear Liquids and shakes still. I am not getting 64 ounces fluids in yet but getting 70gm of protein.i am a bit constipated hopefully the walking will help. I haven't gotten on the scale yet and probably won't until Dr appointment next week. I am afraid I won't have lost anything cause nothing else has worked. I know that it's not logical. How about all of you. Have you lost and how much since surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thisfathasgot2go 235 Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Welcome @Ragedddy. I was sleeved 10/7. I am following a 0-3 day clear liquid and now 4-14 day all liquid diet.< /p> On surgery day, I was 196. Today I am 189. YMMV. Edited October 13, 2015 by thisfathasgot2go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
