[Terri70 37]

Mine's then as well. Go in at 8:30, surgery at 10 am.

They won't give me a time until the day before. How's everyone doing with their preop diet? What is your specific preop diet? Also what is your current weight?

[Terri70 37]

I have to call the day before to verify my time. I am 47 yo and my CW is 262 HW (start of pre-op diet) is 272 (my actual HW is 280). My diet is a Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch and a lean cuisine for dinner. I can have up to 3 Snacks (hardboiled egg, string cheese or a salad with 1 tbsp or a sugar-free popsicle). It's going well so far. I am down 10 lbs in 3 days.

I forgot to mention my own info. I just turned 40 this month. My highest weight ever was 423. Before preop diet started I was 414. 3 days in, I'm down to 412. My goal weight is 190 or under. I'm 5'5". I forget my BMI. My diet is low carb 80-100gm or less per day, at least 60gm Protein daily, low fat and 80-96 oz Fluid each day. No caffeine, no carbonated beverages. 2 days before I'm on Clear Liquids. I'm having mine done on Kingsport, TN How about y'all?

[Terri70 37]

I'm going to be done in Roanoke, VA. My bmi is 43.

HW - 271 (started process in Feb)

Current - 246

Surg - Aug 1 (No time until day before)

-----

Two week diet prior: B/L/D - Protein Shake with 1/4 cup of fruit. With dinner, add 2 cups veg. Can have Protein shake with s/f Popsicle for lunch. Also, there was another choice with more regular food options, but this keeps it streamlined and easy to follow. 7th day of it...doing great, don't feel deprived.

You nervous or anything like that yet?

I've been kind of emotional on this preop diet.

I can't believe we're all so close. I'm excited today!

My date is Aug 4 and I'm super nervous and crabby.

Started my pre-op diet on Friday and it sounds like one of the more extreme ones: 3 high Protein drinks/shakes a day, 2-3 Snacks of yogurt, sf pudding, cream of Tomato Soup (so random!); and fluids include clear broth, sf Jello, Tomato juice, no caffeine tea/coffee, flat diet soda. It's going to be a long 14 days, but I feel a little better each day I'm on it--just very fatigued.

I plan to make my own tomato Soup today--I'm not so crazy about eating packaged foods.

I've also not been able to get a clear answer about the sugar free stuff. I cut artificial sweeteners out of my life several years ago,(it has helped enormously with reducing headaches and stabilizing my mood) trying to only eat stevia or Monkfruit based ones if unavoidable. However, the pre/post diet seems to include so many. I've asked a couple of the nutritionists if it's a calorie thing or a metabolism thing and I get mixed answers. Some say it's okay to find low sugar things, some say no sugar because of dumping (even before surgery) so I'm kind of confused. I'm just limiting the sf jello products to when I'm desperate, and I don't drink things like crystal light.

I have great info for you! I'll copy a page from my book for you.
