Hi Everyone!

I am new around here. I have been lurking for months but this is my first post. I am scheduled for bypass surgery on June 4th! I am so excited. I was hoping to get a surgery date buddy to go through this process with for support. I'm 37 years old with 3 kids. I have yo-yo dieted my entire life and am looking to get things under control. My BMI is around 38 but I have a co-morbidity of sleep apnea so I was able to be approved. I am looking forward to meeting people to share this journey with!

Thank you Ylime for making the spreadsheet. That was so sweet and helpful.

So glad you came out of the shadows to join the conversation? What kind of pre-surgery diet are you on right now?

Hi Everyone! I’ve posted a few times, but mostly reading everyone’s posts. My surgery date is 6/6 and I’m at day 4 of the preop diet. I’m supposed to do 4protein shakes per day - th have only been doing three because I’m not hungry ... or not hungry for that! I have eating the heck out of the veggies that I am allowed and made some Soup. I’m really anxious and nervous but ready for my surgery! Man, the preop diet is n joke. We hosted a BBQ Saturday and I had a shake before people arrived and for dinner ate plate of zucchini, onion, squash and mushrooms that we grilled. I still have work to do to get over the mental food thing ... you know, always looking forward to activities for the food! Now I need to learn to focus on everything else besides the food! Any good tips to make veggies feel like they are a meal?

There are a few of us scheduled for June 4 so you’ve come to the right place. I’m 46, yo yo dieter for the past 10 years. I never had a weight problem until I was 30, and switched to a desk job. Then all my unhealthy eating patterns came home to roost. With this, I’m learning to eat better and reset my bad habits

So....I had my first pre-op visit today. It was a whirlwind! Based off my insurance type, I only need 2 more visits with my surgeon so I’m looking at either August or September for surgery. I didn’t know it was gonna happen so fast. I’m so excited for what’s to come. My appointment was 2 hours jam packed and looks like my pre-op diet is A LOT different then others has anyone else had. Though I spent a significant amount of time with my surgeon I got a lot of good info from the dietician any good questions to ask for my next appointment?

Only two more appointments until you have surgery? Wow! Must be that Philadelphia Freedom that they always sang about. You Keystone Staters can say you're "On your Way in Pa" you do see to get things done quick.😛

Hi, I'm new here. Just did my psych eval yesterday, got my pcp letter last week, and should finish my preop stuff this month. I hope I can get approved and scheduled before school starts in Aug.

I am actually in the minority that my doctor does not require a pre-surgery liquid diet! I was shocked. He told me I could do one if it made me feel better. Ha ha!

      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.
