gemigirl 134 Posted September 14, 2016 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. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valley 13 Posted September 14, 2016 I am also 9/19. In the clear fluids stage... 6 days!!! Excited, nervous, and about 12000 other emotions!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ragdollorchid 128 Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) 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.

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). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

katie09/21/2016 137 Posted September 15, 2016 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. Sent from my iPod touch using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
