July surgery

[Lioness815 44]

It’s really hard in these last days of the countdown to avoid the urge to splurge on junk or sweets or comfort food that I won’t get to have during my journey. :-/

Day 2 of the pre op diet. Going ok. Had a couple times I felt hunger pains, but drank some Water and seem to settle it. Luckily, I'm allow 1 serving of fruit, veggie and starch a day. Started getting a headache too. Don't know why. Saw the internalist in change of my team in the hospital and had an EKG. 14 days to go!!!Excited and nervous at the same time.

Headache is pretty normal at start of diet. It should ease up soom

Mine is July 23rd and I’m anxiously looking at my countdown app on my phone everyday haha!

Hey surgery buddy! My surgery is on the 23rd as well. It actually falls 5 days after my 22nd birthday so I'm super stoked for my late birthday present. My birthday dinner will actually be my "last meal" before starting liquids so that'll be interesting. I plan to treat myself (to a healthy and filling meal lol).

Good luck in the next month everyone!

Hello, i just found out that I’m scheduled for July 3, 2018. I have my pre-op appointment on Friday. I was excited at first and now I’m feeling ambivalent.

July 9th in MO. I’ve been having food funerals the last week. Also enjoying a last bourbon or two before getting to the real enjoyment -life! Doc has instructed pure, clear liquid diet for 7 days pre-op. I’m starting restriction (low carb) 2 weeks out.

Hi gang, I'm August 6th but would love to join this group-WA

53??? I'm 68 and for some reason not worried about age. Having a band revision but this time doing surgery for health and not vanity. We older peeps will do fine👍

Well day 1 of pre op diet was easy! I thought I had to have liquid only but the dietitian told me I'm fine to have tofu and low starch veggies instead yay! I can't drink the vlcd shakes as they are dairy based and I'm vegan.

Had my pre op appointments yesterday and all is good to go ahead. Bit shocked to hear I have to pay another $500 to the anaesthetist!

How is everyone else doing?

ShrinkingWildflower have you checked out Vega? Also I like personally Svelte, you get a lower Protein count but it is soy-based and really tastes good.

I found Vega only the other day. They don't sell it here but I've ordered some from iherb. I'm hoping to use it post surgery. No svelte here either.
