@miassan I know it is difficult to navigate around diabetes, but I am sure in no time after surgery you will test will great numbers. My cousin was taking insulin and is totally of all diabetes medication now. I wish you the best in your surgery!

Wow we have no one scheduled for tomorrow! My preop was today. I am getting closer. Tomorrow is day 10 of preop diet!!!

I am on day 9 and was struggling. Went to last preop appt and like that my NUT said I can have no starchy veggies and broth! I felt like I hit the food lottery!!! Am on Bariatric Advantage shakes and bars (yuck!)

I pray for my plantar fasciitis to go away post surgery. It is horrible pain!

@@nervous nana I am so sorry. I would too be devastated. I hope you get a new date soon!

I am not on Facebook but i am documenting My journey on Instagram.

I am drinking and added miralax... We shall see. On another note, this October group is AWESOME. I was in the October 2012 sleevers group and I must say no one from that time frame still posts. I really hope we all can stay active in the forums. I think it helps us to stay accountable. Also it is great for newbies to have a frame of reference 1-2-3 years out. I went underground too so I am speaking from experience. I challenge us all to share our experiences the good, bad and ugly. As it is such a huge benefit to this forum.

@@edie091371 thank you and I am glad to hear you are feeling better! Constipation is no joke! @@CHLOE12 thank you too! I don't know which one is worse! I am only down 7lbs and I am sure it's because of it! Oh and I didn't like your post because I like the fact you both and relate but because you took the time to answer lol!

Anyone else on preop constipated and bloated?????

Breakfast: eggs and turkey bacon or 1 hard boiled egg and Greek yogurt Lunch: some sort of Protein and salad Dinner: same as lunch with mixed veggies Snacks: deli meat, cheese, jerky, yogurt, hard boiles eggs, hummus I loved steamed shrimp. I also love cheese. I honestly think it got me in trouble post pregnancy as I was eating way more than I should.

@@395Ron I am praying big for strength, healing and a huge turn around in your situation. I am so sorry you are going through this. Sherry thank you so much for letting us know. Ron is a huge contributor on this forum. We wish you all the best during this time.

Hang in there. It is tough. But I must say I have energy they I have felt in the last 2 years. Weird.

You all are so inspiring!

What struggling through preop diet?

I so agree! I am day 6 preop. I would kill for roasted chicken. I am totally not craving sweets. Between the shakes and bars I am over sweets!!! Hang in there! I have 8 more days. It is taking so much willpower and prayer. We went to a party yesterday with food and drinks.... Ummm I survived and felt so strong about it. It was a day and I keep thinking this is TEMPORARY. I will get to eat again!

@@395Ron how you doing?

I just had my post surgery class yesterday. Until 14 days post surgery we are on liquids. That includes shakes, ff milk, cal free beverages, vegetable juice, low fat strained Soup, sugar free popsicles,low sugar nonfat yogurt no chunks and hot cream of wheat runny. At day 15 we progress to puréed / soft diet. At that stage we can add cottage cheese, meats, fish, tofu but they don't have to be blended to a liquid. We just have to be sure it is soft and can be chewed to applesauce consistency. Every program is so different. For my program I will be on a notified diet for a total of 10 weeks. 2 weeks preop (Bariatric Advantage), 2 weeks full liquids and 6 weeks soft/puréed. Edit to add: my puréed food guideline is to add as little liquid as possible to conserve consistency. My nut recommended crockpot cooking to get the meat really tender.

You are not alone. As I eat my sugar free Popsicle....

Congratulations and glad u are feeling well! I will be on full liquids 14 days prior to moving to mushy phase

I just saw you posted on other topic! Glad you are doing well. So it seems like most are spending only one night in the hospital. Has that been the experience for those that have had surgery thus far?

I just finished my last preop Nut visit. Great info! Day 4 of preop diet. Dealing with a bit of a headache today. Surgery day 10/21. I hope all that have already had surgery are recovering well. @@60&goin4it how are you????

Run.

Consider yourself lucky! Lol. I am on two weeks of bariatric advantage. It is not horrible. I think each program is so different. Did the dr give the reason for changing the diet? My surgeon does it for liver shrinkage.
