We are surgery twins! I start my preop on Xmas Eve Sent from my 5049Z using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm worried suddenly. First of all, my surgery date was set for December 13th on November 30th. So I was told to start the pre op diet on December first, but then they couldn't get me in to a Pre op diet class until December 6th. I did start on the first, but that was not two weeks out, then when i went to the class i found i was not doing it quite right. I was eating 2% cheese, but "not the right kind" and my protein drinks had to many calories. My powder is fine,but then adding it to a drink made it more calories than they allow. So what I'm saying is, I'm basically only getting one week of pre op diet before my surgery this Thursday. Should i consider asking my surgeon to reschedule so I can try again and get that liver all shrunk up like they want? I want to do everything right, this is kind of a kind about thing! I'm worried 😟!

I'm on day 3 of my 2 week preop diet. The slightest smell of food is making me want to back out of surgery. I'm on 3-4 protein shakes and 3ozs of lean meat and a serving of veggies per day. I'm scheduled for gastric bypass on December 19th. I really need this surgery, but I'M STARVING! Any suggestions on how I can curb or ignore the hunger pains?

I'm two days ahead of you!!

Sorry, just couldn't resist...

I'm scheduled for January 2nd. I sure hope my surgeon isn't hung over.

Yes. I had pain with swallowing and going down in the beginning if I swallowed too big a bite and didn’t chew enough. The pain was bad. I hope things gets easier for you soon.

I have eaten oatmeal without issue. I get the non-instant oatmeal and instead of milk and sugar, I used a vanilla premier protein shake. I don’t eat oatmeal every day or even every week. But I do eat it from time to time. Especially if I feel really fatigued. The shot of high quality carbs peps me up.
