Itsnicoleee 14 Posted March 20, 2018 Hey guys! I’m having surgery in two weeks!! Looking for anyone have surgery in April that would want to maybe chat and keep in touch or share suggestions. I have my pre op and post op diets but would love to know what kind of recipes you all are planning to try or what Protein supplements everyone is planning to have. Also anyone have to drink Gatorade right before surgery? I thought that was wierd. anyone know what Vitamins we should have after surgery?? I’ve been waiting to hear back from my nutritionist because I don’t meet with her till after surgery but I want to know ahead of time so I can start buying some. thanks! 5 Matt1970, gs03302018, karmanodrama and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brookeville777 14 Posted March 21, 2018 I think right now I'm still trying to digest the fact that this may actually really happen after all. My surgeon told me that my bmi is 50 which makes me high risk. I'm kinda tripping on that. It makes me wonder if I can ever get to a nice looking body instead of just healthy. Sounds selfish I'm sure but my head is spinning probablySent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app 1 baribetty reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Itsnicoleee 14 Posted March 21, 2018 Hi @brookeville777! Isn’t it such a crazy feeling! When do you start your pre op diet? I totally get how you feel my BMI is 59. But you just have to remember that the people who perform these surgery’s do it all week long all year and have very low rates of complications overall. The benefits outweigh the risks in my opinion. I’m sure I will be scared getting closer 2 brookeville777 and karmanodrama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
