Hey family, had my surgery 12/3. Doing fantastically! Walk walk walk. Sipping is super difficult in the first 4 days I’d say. Yesterday was day 2 of my all liquids and I realized when I do soup it is best to eat off a spoon. When I sipped from a coffee cup, i keep getting really bloated. Take your time and recover. Right now, 6 days out my itchy incisions are the absolute worst! Been taking Benadryl to help with the itchies. Otherwise, you GOT this! Best of luck on your day!! ❤️

12/3 and can’t wait! 17 days!!!

Docs office called me back and said there is no pre-op diet to follow per-se. She said they only require for higher BMI’s. ? I guess that is good for me? I may just do the liquid thing for the weekend before. It seems odd that there isn’t some ‘flush’ needed before they remove 85% of your stomach?

I had 6 months of pre-op check in’s but they were all with the nutritionist, basically prepping you for post-op. But I do have a FINAL nutritionist visit next Monday which is 2 hours long. I know we do get pre-op soap at that class. So I’m sure that is where I will find out about pre-op diet.

My surgery is 12/3 and nobody has told me about any pre-op/liquid diet. I’m starting to worry I may have missed the memo! I have my last nutrition visit 11/19, maybe I hear then? But I did just call the docs office and left a message to check.

Myhorseisfattoo- My bestie is going thru Hershey Medical Center. Is that the same as PS Health? My mom has her bypass at HMC in 1987/88 era. Still doing wonderfully! Should have listened to her first go-around and just had the bypass. Doc said 10 years ago that I didn’t qualify for bypass. Best of luck and keep in touch!!

Myhorseisfattoo- How crazy! I’m in Lebanon, just east of Harrisburg! Pinnacle?!? I have Dr. Rosenberger.

December 3rd, 2018!! So excited. I had a lapband 10 years ago and lost over 100lbs. Sadly it slipped severely, HAD to be removed 2+ years ago. I’m back to 300 lbs now and so ready for my sleeve!!!
