Recommended Posts

That's exciting! My date is 6/28 and I start my pre op on 6/14!! I have to make a shopping list! Anything you recommend greatly appreciated [emoji6]




My pre-op diet seems to be much different from others, I am strictly meat and veggies. No dairy or carbs. If you have the same type of diet, let me know, and I'll be happy to tell you what I did! Good luck!!

Sweet! Mine seems a little different than most as well! Breakfast and lunch is Protein Shakes. Two Protein Snacks can be bars, yogurt, whatever, and dinner is 6oz meat with non start veggie!

This was basically mine too. I was so glad it wasn't all liquid.

Get the sodium free broth packets. They are a life saver. They breakup the Protein Shakes with flavor but don't make you gain/retain weight/water because here isn't any salt. They come in chicken and beef and they're in the Soup isle. IMG_8380.PNG

They're less than $2 per box but you do need 2 packets because of the lack of salt.

I am on my last day of preop. I cant believe I will have made it 15 days with no "food."

I go in at 4:30am. I hope to br home by 4pm. I am ready to get the healing started.

Prayers for sure! My pre-op appt is on the 6th, so I imagine that is when I start mine. My surgery is set for the 16th. Pending my insurance.

That's very similar to what mine was. But I only got 4 oz meat.

Wow. I Had to stay overnight at the hospital. But I'm glad about that. I wasn't in any shape to be at home. On the up side, I was the first to go home of the four of us that had surgery that day.

      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.

      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.
