Does anyone have any tips? Good luck! When I did the preop diet back in 09, it definitely was hard, but got easier. If you're allowed, put a serving of frozen fruit in with your Protein Shake and blend it. That is one thing I would've done and I'm going to do when I have the preop diet. Keep yourself busy. And make sure to have the sugar free versions of your fav foods or drinks. Sf Jello, sf pudding, sf Popsicles, sg fudgicles, sf drink mixes like Crystal light or sugar free iced tea and gatorade/sf Powerade. You know. But like I said, I highly recommend keeping yourself busy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not back to normal of course but I don’t feel lethargic. I actually went on a 30 minute walk! It’s crazy how quickly you can go from barely being able to move to minimal pain and discomfort. 11 lbs down from surgery date too. 1 Erin18 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K9Mando 7 Posted July 4, 2022 Yay! So exciting!! How long have you been on the process for?I started my 6 month supervised diet with my PCP back in November and finished that mid-April. I had my first appointment at my surgeon's office 5/10. I went to my endoscopy pre-op appointment on 7/1 and mentioned I still needed to speak with the psychologist. They got in contact with him and he called me that afternoon. After a brief conversation, he said I passed and it sounded like I was ready for this. So now I have my endoscopy on Friday and within two weeks or so after that they should hopefully call me with a surgery date. I'm so excited. It's getting real! A small part of me is a little bummed though because on Saturday my captain told me he would be moving me back into the control room soon on a certain sergeants off days so now that's going to happen and then I'm going to turn around and be out for four weeks! I know Cap will work with me and knows why I'll be out, but I hate to inconvenience him too and I LOVE running the control room. It'll be worth it in the end though!Sent from my SM-S908U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
