Hi boosh 10,

I stopped all my RA & fibromyalgia meds the morning of my surgery( 5 days ago) I am on Methotrexate, Lyrica, Cymbalta & Endep. I hadnt heard about the immunosuppressants delaying healing & causing leaks etc but it makes sense. I was told by my sugeon I can go back on them after 3weeks but I think I will wait longer now, I agree a RA flare wouldnt be fun but the healing of the sleeve is & having no leaks is much more important as its life threatening.

Oct 20th :-)

Oct 20th

My surgery is booked for 20th Oct. I'm from Perth, Australia. I'm halfway through my 14day pre-op diet.

Thanks everyone. Goodluck to others with upcoming surgery dates too & those post op I hope you are all doing well. The vegies we are allowed on the preop diet are carrot, celery, cucumber, lettuce, capsicum, mushrooms, Tomato there are some more but they are the ones I've been having. No potato, sweet potato, corn.

Oct 20th is my date too :-) I'm hungry on the pre-op diet as well. I'm allowed a shake for b'fast & lunch & for dinner I'm allowed a palm size piece of lean Protein & the specified vegies. I can snack on carrot sticks etc & have become a drinker of black tea in the last week, having about 3 cups a day which helps a little with the hunger. Ring the surgery & ask if there's anything else your allowed.

Thanks wifeymaterial & Beth. Beth good luck with starting your shakes on Wed & for your surgery on the 23rd. Yes we can support each other :-)
