hi and welcome, my surgery day is 10/29 and I have my pre-admission appt on Thursday, is that when they gave you instructions on when to start your pre op diet?

[Helen Leal 8]

Yes that’s when I got mine then I went to my nutrition class to go over what we can and can’t have with the pre op diet

[juliie 29]

ok then I'm going to prepare myself for that on Thursday, are you ready to start your pre op diet have you bought everything you need?

[Helen Leal 8]

Yes I went yesterday and got my Protein Drinks but I didn’t buy a lot of Premier Protein because the last ones I tried I didn’t like so that way if I don’t like them I can try another brand. I just forgot the broth so I’m going to go today to buy some.

Hi y’all
I talked with my nutritionist this morning for the last time before sleeve surgery 10/21. One more telehealth appointment with surgeon …then appointment 10/14 for anesthesia clearance and then ….anyway starting today pre op diet, if I can get to the store for shakes. I live in SE Florida? Planning what to do? Stay or leave?
How are any of you doing with your pre op diet? Mine is 3 shakes and a little meal for dinner a day. Water! Until the day before surgery.

That's great to hear! I took a 45 minute walk today, but my belly dragging made it uncomfortable so I think I need a tighter t shirt! New NSV today! My watch fits in the 4th hole instead of the third hole! The little things get me through lately.

i had my preadmission class yesterday and they spoke about what we can and can't have as well. they don't do the two-week liquid diet before they just have a green and lean diet basically healthy eating that we must do before the surgery and the liquid diet 2 weeks post op. my date is 10/29 so start the diet Monday. they gave us two shakes one we have to take 12 hours before surgury time and the other 3 hours prior to surgery . the day before surgery we can have a liht Breakfast and after 12 noon all liquids .
