Hola Team September!!

Day 5 of my 10 day pre-op diet nearly done and it was a rough go. Although I'm not hungry, I made the mistake of doing a 30 minute session on the elliptical before work and ended up being grumpy and miserable all day. I might go for a few short walks but no more exercise until after surgery.

The surgeon's office called me today and said they have a cancellation for the day before my surgery date and would I like that date (9/27) Uhhhhh...pause, gulp, okay. But I start my preop diet tomorrow? I asked. That's okay she said. I knew I could keep the 28th, but I thought okay one day sooner. Once I got my head wrapped around it and made some work arrangements I was good. So here I go. The countdown is on.

I'm scheduled for 9/19. I've been doing the modified liquid diet for a few weeks already. Excited to get through this point and onto the next phase.

Don't worry about cheating on pre op diet. I did too and I had my bypass yesterday with no problems. As long as you not eating greasy fries all day, don't stress!

This is not good advice. You may have not had problems - but plenty of people have had their surgeries cancelled (started and sewn back together without having surgery) for not following the liquid diet and not shrinking their liver enough. The purpose of the liquid diet is to put your body in ketosis - burning fat from your liver - any carbs will take you out of ketosis (it doesn't have to be greasy fries). It's important to stick with the pre-op diet as prescribed by your physician (it's really not just a suggestion).

What's everyone planning on bringing to the hospital

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm planning on taking very little. The clothes I wear to hospital, Vaseline (for my lips), toothbrush (I'm not even bothering with toothpaste), dry mouth rinse (biotene), wipes (for face, hands and other parts!) and on the advice of some of the folks on the other side of surgery I am going to take some gas-x strips with me. Pretty much everything will fit in my handbag.

Will also keep my phone with me, and some headphones but sending my wallet home with my better half.

Random items im taking: 2 bottles of Fiji Water and a couple of disposable Soup spoons.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
