lindabalseca 373 Posted July 7, 2017 I did my PCP clearance last Thursday, went for my final blood work and EKG on Monday. all is good!!!i start my pre op liquid diet on Monday the 10th. am supposed to start the 12th but thought it was weird to start on a Wednesday lol. my surgery is set for July 26. I am super excited and very nervous but I cant wait to lose enough to get off my medicine to feel better. I am looking forward to fit into normal clothes. I wish all success in their upcoming surgeries and strength in the upcoming pre op diets. we can do this!!! we have come this far we will succeed. positive juju sprinkled everywhere lol 1 LisasLearning reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

qy22 30 Posted July 7, 2017 So is mine. When do you start your pre op diet. I have endoscopy on July 20th. My Dr has not started me on any pre op diet.🤔 I don't see him until the endoscopy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KateBruin 344 Posted July 7, 2017 With my surgery a little over 3 weeks out I seriously feel for all you guys on liquid diets. I've added Protein Shakes to mine, as well as BCAAs but that was at my discretion and in addition to my normal diet. Stay strong everyone! Remember, vodka has no carbs!

yvonne.cdn@gmail.com 1 Posted July 8, 2017 I was sleeved 4 days ago. At the recovery room I was in and out but they let my parents see me and everything I remember saying is that it was hot lol... My incisions barely hurts, I do get chest pain from time to time so I take 20mg of Pepcid complete twice a day and for the gases I take Gas-X which has been very helpful... This is my second day at home and I am under liquids, I have to make sure I drink 60-80 gram of Protein and take my vitamins... My appetite went away so I can see my family eating and I'm not craving to eat the same... 1 LisasLearning reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
My_bootiful_journey 8 Posted July 8, 2017 I'm so excited I got my surgery date...July 21st!!! So I will start my liquid diet on July 7th. I'm so excited. Any suggestions??Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile appCongratulations I just got mine too. July 14th... I'm on the pre on diet and trying to fight through the hunger. Why are you on liquid so soon? They have me on 1 high Protein but 400-500 calorie meal and replacing 2 meals with Protein Shake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sleevegal2 1 Posted July 8, 2017 Congratulations, I get sleeved on July 11th and my doctor told me not to diet before the surgery 1 SullyWins reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
My_bootiful_journey 8 Posted July 8, 2017 Congratulations, I get sleeved on July 11th and my doctor told me not to diet before the surgeryI'm noticing that every surgeon requires something different. You have to b on a liquid diet at least 2-3 days before right? Some are asked to be on one for 13 days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
