Hello fellow nurse, nice to see a thread for only nurses!! I'm a L&D RN in California. I also started at the bottom (CNA) for 9 years, which include while I was in nursing school straight for my RN. I'm currently on my 6th day of preop protein shake and dry salad diet. Doing good, but hope I can get through the rest of my 3 week diet!!! I'm going to be having the RNY on July 7th!!! Nervous and excited at the same time!!!

So I too have started my preop diet on 6/16. Mine is for 3 weeks! You pretty much get more added to your diet then mine. My diet consist of 3 protein shakes (bariatric advantage) and a dry salad (with 2 tsp of vinaigrette). It's not bad at all! I was skeptical of the diet too thinking of being hungry or having hunger headaches, but none yet!!! I have 3 kids (19mos, 7, 9). You right about not being tempted to fall off the diet because the shakes are filling. Well keep it up, we have already started our journey to be on the losers bench!!!

thanks lil miss diva!!!!

well said. And those are the main reasons why I choose the RNY!!!

Hey y'all!!! 3 days of preop diet. Not too bad. I'm suppose to have 3 shakes and a dry salad/day. So far been squeezing in 2 shakes and salad/day. I try to space them out so I can have a shake at least every 4-6 hrs while awake, but never get 3rd one in. Will try harder to get all 3 in. I bought the vanilla bariatric advantage shakes and just got some cinnamon extract to change up the flavor a little... 3 days down and 18 more to go!!!

well said, good advice!!!

well said, good advice!!!

I'm also excited but nervous at the same time. Just nervous about being put to sleep. The preop diet is going ok to just be starting, trying to figure out when I should take my vitamin on a shake only diet...

cool!!!

hi nursesally I can feel u!! Started my preop diet yesterday!!! My date is July 7, have u started yours???You have 3 week post op diet @ Jay ?? I haven't started mine and my date is July 7 as we'll. maybe insurance I guess I think it depends on your doctor and how much u weight!! U might want to call and ask. Some doctors do 3weeks, 2 weeks or no preop diet at all.
