Hey all, SO... Yesterday was my pre-op assessment 8 days prior to surgery. My nurse was lovely and took (3 large!!!) test tubes of my blood for tests. My pre-op diet starts today, 1,000 cal per day low fat diet up until surgery date which is the 26th. I know I should feel lucky that they didn't assign me a liquid only diet but I kind of wish they had, it would be easier to follow! I might just try to do it that myself anyway to prepare for after surgery I'm not sure! Anyway I just wanted to check in and say, it all starts today! I'm nervous but have never been more ready tor anything in my life! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for replying lovely, I have to do a 5-7 day low fat 1,000 calorie pre op diet, so I think I'm pretty lucky there. 2 weeks of just 3 slim fast shakes per day? You're a rock star. I'll need to look into if the fast shakes are low in fat, I doubt it somehow.. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
