Any March 2018 Sleevers?

I got lucky. I don’t have a “liquid diet “ until 2 days prior to surgery. For now I am to do 1 Protein Shake and 2 meals with veggies and meat only.

I am glad to see that I am not the only one with a short prep period. The prep documentation the surgeon gave me had a 2 week prep, but he told me he was crossing it out for me and said to do it for 2 days. Everything after surgery is non-negotiable, though, and is in line with everyone else's 6 week migration back to food.

I'm so confused with two almost identical March boards!! Today is Day #4 pre-op for me.

Just ran out to Sams Club and scored the new PP cookies/cream and peaches/cream flavors. I'm not a member, but you can ask for a one-day pass (for free) but you have to add 10% to your charges. So, the boxes were $16.66 - $4 OFF savings + 10% (or $1.20) = $13.92/box = deal!

Tomorrow is my pre-anesthesia appointment, one last hurdle...-

Hope everyone is faring well on their pre-op diets!! :)

Who's up first?

Just got my date March 27, but I'm being told there might be a delay when they remove the lap band and there is a lot of scar tissue. I was under the impression that it was all being done on same day. Hoping an d praying they can do both at same time. Good luck to everyone and hang in there, don't lose focus of your future goals.

I’m sure this is all elsewhere but I’m in hospital post-op. My date was 28 Feb and I thought I’d share my tips.
If you can learn to make yourself burp and pass gas before your date then do. The worse pain is from the gas that’s trapped (that they used to inflate your abdominal cavity). Other things that I’m told help (but haven’t worked for me)
hot pack
lying on the pain area as long as it isn’t your wound
Being up and about walking and chair sitting instead of in bed
When you vomit you’ll likely bring up blood so don’t freak out I’m told that’s normal. You likely won’t tolerate Water orally the first couple of days (or maybe you will) but you’re on an IV so no biggie. I have to start oral fluids so my second full day after surgery. If you so try, take the tiniest sips imaginable and do it standing up.
Dont forget your breathing exercises.
And good luck!

Wishing you a speedy recovery! Very kind of you to share with the rest of us so soon. Im sure how to learn how to burp but I’ve got 6 days... I’ll figure it out! Call my son! lol Thank you!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
