I am so nervous something will go wrong I am going to start the pre-op on 3/29. Wow 5 days...not bad. My pre op testing is on 04/05. Hopefully mines wont be too long either. 1 Jujubeez919 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CharityH 4 Posted March 22, 2021 Hi Everyone, I'm new here too . I was looking for an online support community, and this looks like a great place to be. My surgery date is 4/13. So far I have the Protein 2o drinks.. 15g of protein. I also got some bariatric Vitamins on the recommendation of a friend. My doc only requires a 3 day pre op liquid diet.. but I was thinking about starting early and making it a 5 day. 1 KidaandRoux reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I watched Netflix and played games while awake but slept a lot as well. You don’t need much more than that. Seriously. Good luck. 🍀 I was totally going to bring a robe... and like a nightgown type thing. I didn't think about the wires at all.. this makes so much sense. 1 Jujubeez919 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea and you will have all the wires attached after surgery in which you must wear their robe so no point to bring that either unless you want to ask them to unhook all that so you can change gowns which most people don’t feel up to all that.

Trust me. I bought a new robe and two nightgowns even. But didn’t use any of it. Brought pajama pants too based on someone’s comment on here and it was all I needed.

clippergear 1 Posted March 24, 2021 My surgery is scheduled for April 6th. I started my preop diet yesterday on March 23rd. I’m surprised I’m not starving. I’m definitely hungry but it’s doable!! 1 KidaandRoux reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
