October Sleever Preparing for pre op diet



Recommended Posts

I only have about 5 shakes to choose from according to my nutritionist and it looks like I'll be spending about $100 on shakes because I will have to drink 5 per day [emoji30]. I have chose glucerna hunger smart chocolate. Who else is preparing for pre op diet ?!

my pre-op diet should be starting in about a month. I have already bought some shakes. I have found there is one a "the dollar Tree" that I am allowed its called "protein Boost" it a mix berry flavor. its 45 calories, no sugar, and 10 grams of Protein in a 3 ounce serving. its made with a Hydomaxx protein Blend. its also gluten, lactose, and soy free. I am not sure if it will help you much, but its no to bad tasting.

My Dr. Provided everything I needed for my 2 week diet and I only can have what they provided. shakes, Soups, some other stuff. This will be the hardest thing I have ever done. I am not diabetic

My four week pre-op shakes and food is supposed to start Thursday Sept 14th ready for surgery Thursday October 12th. I actually kicked it off 15 days ago just to familiarise my adaption.

I did have a "blowout" for my sister-in-law's 60th 9/9/17 ... beer, smorgasbord, cake, etc.

Already down 6.9kg (16-17 lbs) ... caused my surgeon and dietitian much pleasure.

      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.
