I hope it don't change I have came too far to be set back. Like I know better.... The dietitian classes I took for six months was for this. Omg I am so disappointed with myself. But thanks and I will start doing a pure liquid diet no Jello no pudding just Protein and Water Sent from my Z958 using the BariatricPal App

I wouldn't think it would matter. For my pre-op diet, the only thing my surgeon was concerned about was that I didn't have any starches or sugars. Protein and fats were not limited. As a matter of fact he encouraged us to eat a lot of protein.

@@Capri3Js I don't think your surgery date will change with a little more Protein. It shouldn't be a problem.

I hope your surgery date doesn't change but IF it does, don't be discouraged. Just keep listening to your NUT and drink lots of Water to flush your system.

I will call her first thing in the morning. But she strictly prohibited me to take in that much protein. I think my surgery date will change Sent from my Z958 using the BariatricPal App

Speak to your NUT. Your team must say what's right for YOU.
I'm told to take in 100g of Protein Post Op but to try and get the protein in Now too.

I'm getting re-approved for surgery using Dr. Balette in Houston after being initially approved in August and the week-before preop blood work discovering I was pregnant (I had no clue). That was an interesting phonecall from the doc!!!
A little background, I lost my 16 month son to a rare aggressive brain cancer within 8 weeks of his diagnosis and decided to have surgery to become more healthy for my surviving 5 year old son. This discovered pregnancy was both a surprise and blessing....I had my new son (3rd) in March and am preparing mentally for surgery again, soon, as I've met my out of pocket w this pregnancy and so the surgery will be at no cost. I am remarkable at surgeries and pain, having 3 csections and never having taken pain meds and up walking within 4-6 hours with all so they are comfortable w surgery sometime this summer.
What creative foods have you found helpful? This came up as I was looking for cal count for a new salad at Panera bread and seeing a black bean Soup for 140 cals. My first thought was "that would purée nicely and taste savory..."
Looking for other ideas! I'm new to the board!
Working beyond grief for a better life!

My surgeon requires a 2 week pre-op diet with 3-4 Premier Protein shakes a day and 1 cup of skim milk. Check with your surgeon or your nutritionist. [emoji3]

I have to be at the hospital early tomorrow morning. In less than 12 hours, it will all be done.
I have been pursuing this surgery for two years. Jumping through every hoop they produced.
I won't actually believe it's going to happen until I am out of surgery!
Exciting!!!!

Who else has a June surgery date?? Wanna share my body pics and journey

I'm June 1st!! Counting down the days...so close but so far away! Congratulations!

I got the call today, my surgery is set for June 8. I go tomorrow to do a follow up with the nurse and other appointments are already set. My sister-in-law has her initial appointment tomorrow so it's nice to have her to go through this with...plus she's wears a smaller size than me and already told me I get her clothes when she loses weight! That's about 2 sizes away. Luckily I do have some summer clothes already so this is PERFECT timing!
anyone else having it done in June?

I'm June 7th also. The liquid diet is killing me but I'm sticking to it. I'm concentrating on one day at a time.

My surgery is on June 6. I have lost 15 pounds in the past week following the pre-op diet. It's been HARD. But my knees feel better already, my BP is 110/62 (on meds), and I am determined to stick with it. Hang in there, this is temporary!
