My doc made me do 3days Clear Liquids, then 2 weeks of full liquids (protein shakes an liquids), then I can start 3weeks of puréed foods, 3 weeks of soft foods then solid foods. It's a very conservative approach by I'm glad because it's gentle on the pouch and I've had zero problems so far......of course I'm still in the full liquid stage

Good morning ladies! Surgery was yesterday, went perfectly, RNY and cholecystectomy. I walked twice yesterday, passed the blue ice test an pain was minimal after the first two hours. I'm on a morphine pump and getting Tylenol 3 via IV every 4-6 hours. I have found the Tylenol help snore than the morphine. Day 2 and feeling amazing!!! Glad to be on losers bench with you all. My hospital is amazing and the nursing staff is super responsive and attentive, this could not be going any better!

I'm on day 3 of 14 day liquid diet. I'm not really hungry, but my energy level is definitely on E. Get to have 3 meal replacements and 2 protein liquid "snacks" per day. I'm using the Bariatric Advantage shakes and they are kinda yucky...hope I can handles them post op cause they have great nutrition stats. I'm loosing about 2-3 lbs a day though, so that part is exciting. Hope the rest of you pre-oppers are doing well on the diet Surgery date: Oct 23

How is pre-op diet for everyone going? Mine doesn't start till the 9th....I'm a little nervous, I'm not great at telling myself no, lolWoohoo!!! Finally got my surgery date and it's in October!!!! I was beginning to freak out because the surgeons office seemed to be dragging their feet. My date is October 23rd!!! Anyone share that date with me? I had my labs/chest X-ray/EKG/pre-admission done today and my class is Monday! So excited that I don't have to switch to the November thread!Hate to hear that! Do they think it's the brand of vitamins?Thank you! We are all gonna be rockin new bodies by this time next year!!! Maybe even 6 months from now . Has anyone's doc given them specific weight loss goals? Like how much you should be losing by when?Just got my approval!! Took my insurance (Tricare) less than 48 hours to process once my surgeons office submitted it. Looks like I'm gonna get my Oct date after all : DI just got my approval! Took less than 48 hours once my surgeons office finally submitted it! Amazing! So excited!!Tamisa, mine got submitted yesterday so I'm in the boat with you! Still hoping for October. My surgeons office held on to my paperwork for a week before submitting it...I've been going cray cray! Lol!!Awesome! It would be a huge help to run all those costs through a tax free benefit!
