Hello!

First I'd suggest you seek clarification from your Dr., you should receive a list of the what is acceptable both pre and post surgery.

I had everything that you listed including the Protein shakes and Isopure drinks as the Dr required that I get 100g of Protein and limit carbs to no more than 70g each day during the pre-op diet. I also was able to get him to agree to letting me include a creamy Soup for dinner - he only asked that I watch the carbs and calories as they're usuallyl loaded.

This is a great site for many things; however, I'd strongly suggest that you contact the Dr's office - that's what the Dr and his staff are for.

Wishing you success in your journey.

There are so many variations on the pre-op diet from what to eat/drink to length of time (the post-op diet, as well). If you're unsure about what you are supposed to be doing pre-op, I agree with Cherish, you need to call your doctor. For instance, my pre-op was two weeks long, so I might have been given more leeway on what I was allowed to have versus someone with a shorter period of time.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
