Hi all..I have a question...I have some fresh meat coming to me but before I order my cuts is bacon something anyone has opinion on post op? I love thick cut smoked bacon but dont want to waste money ordering if I cant eat it anyway. Then I would order ham etc. thanks all for your advice.

Hi cullychick No im on the 11th. I replied late last night. I spoke with Dr. office today n except for very extreme cases, they dont require you to do any pre-op diet except for night before surgery. Sounds good to me!
She said get small bottle of adult Gummy or chewable vitamins an a chewy Calcium Vitamin. Bought a crapload of sugarfree jello/pudding, fat free broth, some small containers, baby spoons, an borrowed a heating pad from my sis in law. Think I got it covered? I feel like a doomsday prepper!!

11 days to go an getting nervous!!

Hi vacationgirl1. Im doing LB on 3/11 an am type II as well. I see surgeon for last pre-op app. on 3/5. Ive been told I will stop ALL meds day of surgery then give myself time to heal. My endocrinologist will then have to make med/insulin dose changes as needed. My true goal is to reduce weight enough to get off insulin. Im 6'4 285 an hoping to lose 50-60 lbs.(hopefully). Keep in close contact with your dr. every step of the way. You'll do fine!!

Hi kll724. Congrats bigtime on your success. Getting off a few meds would be great news let alone all of them. My goal to lose 50-60lbs is to get off insulin first an hopefully oral meds to follow.
take care:)

Hi everyone. ok met with my dr. for pre-op pysical. Dr. said everything good to go..took blood for kidney check though. I went to Wal-Mart bought the small HB blender $14.95 you all recommended. Looks just right for single serve shakes etc. Also picked up big jar of chocolate peanutbutter body fortress whey protein.Went next door to Sams an got a case of Premier Protein choc. shakes. Figured id wait till i meet with surgeon on 3/5 before I buy any more. How did I do? Good for starters? thanks all.
