Patterba 6 Posted April 22, 2017 So my dietician has be doing 1 week modified fast. 4 Protein Shakes a day. All the vegetable I want except starches. Fish grilled or baked. And sugar free popsicles the day before surgery. Clear fluids only. Go figure so many variations Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatchocobomom 43 Posted April 23, 2017 Congrats everyone!! And good luck! I requested to join the sleeve may 2017 group. My blog is fatchocobomom.com - it's a bit of my geeky side, but I've been talking about my wls stuff as well, and linking my vlog. I'm hoping to update more. I didn't really get any info on a pre-op diet, so I came up with my own, based on what seemed like the norm for everyone else. I'll start tomorrow or Monday, depending if I can get to the store tomorrow or not. >.> While my anxiety is going more and more, I'm doing alright. Had a few break downs, but because of some support issues that are now worked out. Forcing myself to do a pre op is really hard, because my brain says "well, you don't have to! Enjoy this time!" But, I figure I really should, better for my recovery and my mental well being. And despite feeling so torn on that little aspect, I'm 100% committed to after surgery. I'm getting stocked up- lots of broths, lots of Soups, lots of Protein powders, sugar free jellos and all the little stuff I think will help keep me going. Still...anyone else just feel like their going to explode before surgery? I'm feeling so many emotions, and I really feel like it's so much at once.

Simply_Divine 32 Posted April 23, 2017 So finally got my date and it is May 11th. Are there any other May sleevers out there who want to join me in this journey? I also invite the veterans to join and guide us May sleevers through the process. My date is May 9, 2017 & I'm so excited! 2 Rita48 and mzlil2cool reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simply_Divine 32 Posted April 23, 2017 Thanks! I don't actually start my pre-op liquid diet until April 29th. But I'm ready! I have to use a brand called Bariatric Advantage. It's supposed to keep you full a little longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christmasinmay 8 Posted April 23, 2017 May 2! I have a 1 week low carb pre-op diet starting tomorrow After approval it just goes SO fast! Approval has been such a rollercoaster ride that I think I had almost come to terms with not having the surgery - so I'm a little nervous but also ready for the life change! I'm thinking I'll do liquid diet the last 3 days of the week just in prep for the surgery as well. Good luck everyone! 5 Bri_Guy, longway2go, Sweet as peaches and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rita48 65 Posted April 24, 2017 Too clarify, you have gained weight since your initial visit with your surgery? If so, my surgeon told me that I couldn't gain weight from my initial visit, if I did that insurance would deny me. It may be different for different insurances. Have you been approved yet?
