Just got the call today that my insurance was approved and my surgery date is May 9th. Since my body is not so big the doctor said the tools would fit in my body easily therefore I didnt have to follow a long liquid diet. Im so excited. Is anybody else scheduled for May 9th.?

I was required to stay on the diet for 14 days. The first few days were rough but manageable. It's harder on the weekends for me, and I have slipped a few times. I'm mainly required to drink two Protein Shakes and have unlimited veggies and one small dinner daily. Im down 10 lbs though.

Girl this liquid diet is so hard! I'm on day 8 of the required 10 days. And mine is strictly 2-3 Protein Shakes (Bariatric Advantage), Water, broth, & sugar free Popsicles and Jello. The struggle is so real around here! I've slipped a couple of times, but all I had was bag baked salmon. In my mind I didn't do too bad because I ate something high in protein! What have you eaten?

Im excited to see how it goes for all of you! How is your liquid diet going?

My pre-op diet isn't liquid, just has to be low carb, high Protein & under 800 cals a day. It's fairly easy for me, I'm really not hungry most of the time lately. Day 4/5 was the worst. I've decided that today I'll start doing all liquids though until surgery. I'd like to get down into the 230s before surgery (241 the past couple days, started at 260 before diet).

I was only required a 5 day liquid diet, but even then it has been hard for me! My diet restrictions are the same as yours except I could have smashed potatoes... yesterday I wanted to have smash potatoes so I decided to go buy one at KFC.. & once I was there girl I jist ordered a Famous chicken bowl instead. I ate that thing like there was no tomorrow... and then a couple hours later I regreted it. So far I havent had anything but a Protein Shake. Im punishing myself . It is hard girl.

You are so lucky you don't have to be on a liquid diet. Mine is a combination of a liquid diet equaling to 800 cals a day also. My weight is currently 225..

And I'm so over these Protein shakes! It gets harder & harder to get them down. They are too thick for me so I drink them with a straw. I don't know how I'm gonna manage after surgery. I think I may try some of the protein juices.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
