OMG...this pre-op diet is a killer! Anyone else having a hard time?

I am going to start the Pre op diet on monday.. not looking forward to it but I am looking forward to the outcome. I just got a call at 9am this morning that I am approved. Now I am waiting for the nurse to call me back with a surgery date. Good thing we all have cell phones if I had to sit by a house phone and wait I would go nuts. Just this waiting is driving me nut... can anyone give me an idea of their pre op diet is.

Hey everyone! I had my surgery at 8 am today and I was home by 2:30 this afternoon. The pain isn't so bad, just some aching and gas in my upper abdomen. Gas X and liquid Percocet are controlling it nicely. All and all things are going great!

[okiegirl79 1]

Wow! Thanks for the update, I am so glad it all went well! 5 days to go for me!

Congradulations! How long are you on the liquids for post op? My surgery is october 13th and I can't wait. Look forward to seeing more post surgery updates. Well, congrats again and good luck.

Thanks everyone! Guy, I am on Clear Liquids From Friday (surgery day) until Sunday, then I slowly add in other full liquids for 4 to 7 days, then I'll be on purreed food until my 2 week postop appointment, after which they will hopefuly let me start having soft solids.

By the way, I got some Isopure and a couple other clear prottien drinks from GNC, that way I'm still getting the Protein my body needs to heal!

Hi everyone,

I feel like it is going to be forever for me (Oct.29th). But I am glad to read that most of you are having good experiences. I go for my PATs on Wednesday, but my doc does not require a pre liquid diet, I am still practing the chewing part. I think this is going to be the most difficult thing for me to change. On average I chew three times and swallow, so this will be a BIG behavorial change for me.

Wishing you that have been banded good luck, and those that are yet to be banded, you are in my thoughts and I am rooting for you.

best to all.. barb

Im trying not to take my pain meds... but from the looks off it im going to have to... because i cant take it... lol when does the pain go away.. i have so much homework to do now i got my surgery done on 10/08/2009

[we3601 0]

Hey caseyb, you asked about others' pre-op diets. Mine is a 2 week liquid diet. Protein Shakes, broths, tea, and all the Water I can drink

I'm amazed at how different all the pre-op diets are. Some have no pre-op diet while I've seen others post 3 month diets. You'd think there would be a more uniform way to do this. My band date is 10/19--Bring it on!

Hey everyone,

I was lucky and did not have to have a pre-op diet. :thumbup: My surgery is Oct. 16!!! :tt2:

Good luck everyone! :tt1:
