Hi all. I'm having surgery on 7/10 as well and just started the Pre-op diet 2 days ago. I'm getting the sleeve. I'm a little nervous about the process but looking forward to continuing my good health.

Me too!

I’m getting surgery the 8th.

The dr is planning on doing a sleeve but when they insert the scope for the endoscopy if my esophagus has gotten worse from my gerd he will preform the bypass. I won’t know until I wake up which surgery I got.

Oh! That’s an interesting situation! I guess either way is good!

Me too! I'm on day 5 of pre-op diet and already so tired of "sweet" stuff from the Protein Drinks and SF Jello.

July 11th here.
This is a revision. I had sleeve done in 2014 and immediately knew it wouldn’t be a long term solve. I eat very little anyway and needed something that was more malabsorptive.
We are doing Duodenal Switch. 🎊🥳
Current weight is 241. I start full liquid on 7/9 but currently on high Protein, low fat regimen.
Excited to actually start this journey with a procedure I felt like I should’ve had done the first time. 🫶🏻

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
