Elvenprincess 26 Posted June 17, 2016 @@Karen Kenney I have Kaiser as well but in Oregon! So interesting how requirements are different even within the Kaiser system. My pre op diet is 4 Boost shakes, chicken broth and flavored water for 2 weeks prior. My surgery is on July 7th.

Karen Kenney 61 Posted June 17, 2016 @@Elvenprincess wow, i don't think I would be able to do my dog walking with that diet for two weeks! If I sat at a desk all day maybe. They also want us to start our special bariatric Vitamins one month before surgery, I got mine from Celebrate, they are tolerable. I will try to take 2 weeks off work, I am self employed and have a friend walking my charges. I think I will fill out the disability application Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
