I told my 17 year old daughter what I almost did and she texted back "Just image the hard gristle things that usually come in sausage. Like you bite down and it's hard and almost breaks ya tooth. Nasty" lol.

I ain't gonna lie
I started my pre-op diet today and I actually wavered. I literally dreamt about sausage gravy and homemade biscuits. I swear I almost got up and made it for breakfast. I thought "well 13 days of pre-op will be fine". So... I got up and had my shake. Stupid head hunger.

Tell me about your required pre-op diet
Mine is a shake for Breakfast Snack consisting of either sf pudding or sf yogurt mixed with unflavored Protein powder or a liquid mixed with it. Lunch: Half a shake, lean protein and cup veggies Another snack as above. Dinner: same as lunch At least 64 oz of Fluid That's for 11 days. After that liquids only. I was told the want you to have an abundance of protein to promote healing.

February 18
Of course we get an ice storm. The day before my pre-op. I'm supposed to have a chest X-ray, EKG, final labs, meeting with the surgeon and her PA and my prep class. All tomorrow. 3 hrs away. I'm chancing it anyway. I'm leaving between 3-4am to be able to drive slow and careful. Jeez

No drain tube after VSG?
There are some leak tests, especially in Mexico, that are performed using a drain. You drink this blue dye like substance and if it comes out in the drain, you're leaking. Just as drains can PREVENT infection, they can also be a SOURCE of infection so some Drs do not use them.

Headaches and pre-op diet
If u don't like the taste of plain Greek yogurt you can mix in a little from a crystal lite packet or mio and sweeten it up. Other people even use sf torani syrups.

Headaches and pre-op diet
Since you're drinking so much water you may wanna watch out for leg and foot cramps. It can flush out the potassium in your body. If you get them you can take a potassium supplement along with magnesium. Just a heads up.

You're detoxing from caffein/carbs/sugar. Give it a few days. It will get better

Bariatric Advantage tears me up. It literally felt like I had food poisoning I was running to the bathroom so much. I think some ppl just can't tolerate some of it. It may have been the flavoring though so let us know once u get the unflavored in
