I start my pre-op diet tomorrow as well. I like your outlook, I hadn't considered it that way. Positive way to look at it!

I started my pre-op last monday mine last for 4 weeks.

In my doc office it is 4x Optifast /day and 1 veggie cup per meal but I haven't been able to take them.

Good luck :780_sparkling_heart:

I'm on day seven of the liquid diet from hell. (surgery December 5th) I'm hungry and grumpy. I would not wish this diet on my worst enemy.

5 premier Proteins, sugar free Jello, sugar free Popsicles, broth...and 100 calories of either cream of wheat or yogurt.

it's ghastly, and I miss food.

On the other hand....i'm waking up almost a pound lighter every day, and it's a good mental prep for the psychological crazy of the post surgical diet.

I do feel prepared for what I'm about to undertake.

I would of loved to be able to have broth... I mean check vanilla, chocolate or strawberry flavor gets old... quickly .

7.5/28 days. I am so envious at people who only have two week's from what I saw normally people have 1-2 week and not 2-4 week like my surgeon office does.... :55_frowning:

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
