April 2022 Surgery Buddies

[Goldengirl321 52]

Congrats and welcome! I’m going to be sleeved 4/19, getting past the nerves and into the excitement now.

Congrats on having a surgery date. I have to do next week's stress test, and then hopefully I will have a date. Hoping for 4/11-ish. This entire process should count as one.big.stress.test! 🤒

I just found this forum and thread. My sleeve is scheduled for 4/26/22. I have my pre-op meeting with the dietitian 4/7/2022. It’s been a long journey to get to this point and I’m excited it’s so close.

Hi! My gastric bypass is scheduled for 4/26. We’re surgery twins!

My sleeve is slated for 04/06/2022 and today (03/23/2022) starting the liquid diet phase.

Mine is scheduled for April 5th! I am on the pre-op Milk diet day 2. Having caffeine withdrawal headache ☹️. Having my surgery in Vancouver, WA. Good luck to everyone!

Alieve was the only thing that helped the withdrawal headache for me. Can’t have it post op but you can pre op.

Thank you, I will try it. I can have it up until 5 days pre-op, then only tylenol after that.

[Goldengirl321 52]

Ugh that sounds rough, my pre op diet allows for one cup of caffeine a day which I’ll gladly take

Oh wow! I’m not far from you at all! I’m in Dearborn!

In anticipation of and hoping for a 4/11-ish surgery date (week of Spring Break), i'm going to start the Liver Reduction Diet next Wednesday, 3/30...the day after my stress test.

Can anyone recommend an approved Protein Shake that doesn't taste disgusting? I cannot stand the taste of Premier chocolate.

Thanks in advance. PS: I am typically very easy going about how things taste, but I do not like the taste of Premier.

The Fairlife Protein Shakes are pretty good.

Thank you -- I will give one a try. I was actually looking at those.
