Anyone else set for 4/20 or there abouts?



Recommended Posts

I start my pre op on the 9th for surgery on 12th. Starting today, 2 weeks pre op I can only take Tylenol as pain med. my doctor recommends that I try to stay away from solid food as much as I can but I don't think I'll be able to.

I am hoping for April ! My first appointment is Tuesday; and will do 4 weeks of classes. I am in Fort Wayne IN. Where is everyone else having their surgery? I think I have to do 4 weeks of the Optifast drinks before surgery. Anyone else?

I'm set for April 25, 2016. First doctor visit was 07/15/2015 so it has been a long process. Start my liquid diet on April 11. Insurance is covering it, but with a $3200 deductible, it is still going to be difficult. I think insurance companies need to lower their requirements and speed up the process. If it weren't for my stubborn determination, I would have given up. I can't wait!

I'm set for 4/13 ...no time yet. Started my program in May 2015 so it's been a long process. The nice part is that there is no pre op diet per say. Only Clear liquids the day before. Even I can do that. . . Jello counts.

I'm April 13 as well, with only one day of clear liquid. I'm relived because I've heard so many that have had to go two weeks with clear liquids before surgery. Let me know how your surgery goes.

You've got it @Billsmafia. I'm freaking out a bit but surely I can manage. Where are you having surgery? I'm in Massachusetts.

It's interesting to me the different requirements among surgeons. My pre op diet is a lot less strict than some I have heard. They said I just need to stick to 1000 calories per day.

In Huntsville (North Alabama). I'm not nervous at all, but my wife, on the other hand, is freaking out a bit. Where is yours happening?

I'm headed to Worcester Massachusetts. I've debated for quite a while. I know we'll all be good.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
