Surgery 10/5 .... Starting pre-op diet tomorrow :\

By Sarah8807

I am beyond words! Very excited and grateful that I am being approved for lapband and will be able to get my life back! I start my pre-op diet tomorrow which consists of...

 

water

protein shakes

one healthy choice meal a day

 

Then the day before surgery all clear liquids...I went and bought my protein shakes (which is acutally this morning stuff that the doctor suggested) healthy choice meals, (chicken broth and some sugar free jello if I really am needing something different). My surgeon said that most people try to do just the protein shakes for the pre-op but I can do one healthy choice meal a day too if I want...So I think I will for the first few days and then try to stick with just liquids the last days leading up to surgery.

 

 

I'm super anxious and getting my EKG and bloodwork today was sureal...I just cant believe this is acutally going to happen after waiting for it for SO long. I hope everyone on here the best of luck whether pre-op or post op! :D

    I am so happy for you. I just got my approval this morning and I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. I was told to do Tuesday on low carbs with no serving being over total cardohydrates, then Wednesday and Thursday being on a liquid diet (broth, jello, water, juice packs less than 10 caleries, coffee, or tea). I am a possible candidate for surgery this coming Friday, but nothing has been schedule yet. I wish you the best of luck in your journey and I know you feel. I too am excited, nervous, anxious, and ready. God Bless.
