January Surgery Dates!

[hungry4health 20]

Who's getting their surgery in January? I just got my insurance approval today, and I meet with my surgeon Wednesday the 16th of Dec. The scheduler said that I will most likely get my surgery on the 5th of january because he only has one scheduled on the 5th, and he is out of the office until my appointment! I am beyond excited!

Hi, just waiting for confirmation but when I saw my surgeon a week ago he said he thought it would be 8th January for my RNY!

After so many months of research and tests I can't believe I am nearly there!

The only thing I am really worried about is nutrition support (I am self pay in UK) and have seen a private NUT that my surgeon recommended (he is really lovely and has a brilliant reputation which is why I am going to him) but although great when I met her, she is rubbish at replying to emails and impossible to get on the phone which is suppose to be part of the NUT support package I paid for ...

How long and what are your Pre-op diets?

My surgeon has said he wants me to do the diet for at least a week (I am planning to do it for 2) but NOT milk based and the last 48 hours Clear liquids only. Just curious what other people have been told?

@@Bagpuss I had my preop appt on December 3rd and was told that I should start my preop diet as soon as possible. I had to wait until payday so I started mine on December 14th and my surgery is the 5th of January. My preop diet itself is just small healthy meals with lean meat like tuna, chicken breast, and turkey breast. Then I can have 3 Snacks a day as well as long as their healthy and sugar free. And he also said I could have a cheat day on Christmas and then go back on the diet the day after.
