I'm on my 8th day of my pre op diet. I have 3 Protein shakes/day and no more than 250 calories of low glycemic vegetables. To be honest most times I'm happy with my shakes and not a lot of veggies. It's easier than you think! You got this!

Thanks KristenLe.

I'm drinking at least 64 oz of Water / day.

I'll try to get some electrolytes in me.

I'll switch my Multivitamin too.

Thank you so much!

I appreciate your reply!

I started my pre op diet Thursday, September 8th. Feeling nauseous today, not tolerating Protein shakes or food well today. Has anyone had this issue? My pre op diet is 14 days, 3 Protein Shakes a day and no more than 250 calories of low glycemic vegetables.

Write down three things you did right today and focus on your positives. Focusing on the negative will only make them larger. You got this. Positive self talk!!! The sugar and bread isn't worth it!

I'll make sure I speak with my surgeon about blood thinners and compression socks. Thank you!

I flew about 7 hours (2 flights) 2 days after surgery and am ok so far (surgery was 8/30/16). They should give you blood thinners and compression socks (they suck but wear them!)

A hospital stay sounds scary gustavio. I will make sure I keep track of my fluids. Thank you!

Amen Ramona! Same, I was in bad shape as well. Took me a hospital stay to learn. It's SOOOO important to get that Water in no matter what. Also, it's not an easy way out. Surgery is changing your whole life, changing how you eat, what you eat, when you eat. It's not easy but I'm convinced it will be worth it.

Everyone said it but really really take it to heart.....DRINK YOUR WATER! :-) :-) :-) it makes such a difference and getting dehydrated feels really bad. I was out of it when I came home and thought I was getting in all my fluids but wasn't. By day 3,4 I was in bad shape. My mom came to the rescue, took me to her house, read my instructions and got me back on track. By day 5 I was a different person. Doesn't matter if you eat but you have to get in your Water. Good luck!

Is there anything you can tell me, my surgery's September 22, that you wish some one would have told you pre operatively? TIA

My surgery is across the country. Has anyone flown for 4 hours three days post op?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I start my pre op diet on Wednesday, surgery is scheduled for the 22. Does anyone have any words of wisdom they wish they were told prior to surgery?

Are you able to eat that right up to surgery day? How are you feeling about the upcoming date?

The day before surgery Clear Liquids only. I'm so excited...I wish I could get on the operating table now!!!! I'm that hungry for this surgery lol. How do you feel about it?

I'm so excited but nervous about the unknown. I've read so many things that have different stories.
