So far so good. I am tolerating my isopure and the two spoons of chicken broth pretty well. So my best to all!

Thanks! I am on my way into the hospital now. Good luck to all!

I report to ambulatory surgery at 7:15 tomorrow morning. I am so ready for this 15 month saga to be over and for the next stage to begin. It has been a long haul but just several more hours and I can see where it goes from there.

So, I had my main pre op appointment today and all is on track for Sept. 13 at 9:00 am. I will have my anesthesia consult on the 8th as well as the final meeting with the bariatric coordinator at my hospital. I start liquidation on Wednesday the 30th.

Hi there. Just to clarify, you say this kind of diet means one experiences ketoacidosis. This is incorrect. One experiences Ketosis. Ketoacidosis is a very dangerous life threatening condition that can affect mainly type 1 diabetics. I understand that it is a simple word swap but a very different issue. Best of luck.

I have to ask... not to be a cynic but does your practice sell a particular brand of bariatrically advantageous powder and supplements? (See what I did there?) I have friends who have gone through this with other practices, where they discourage all the other stuff but the type they sell. My practice does sell BA stuff but they recommend premier by name as a great choice pre and post surgical.

I am doing rny gastric bypass. Once looking at all the info, there was no question in my mind. I have had various things confirm, but I was always going for rny.

Haven't started mine yet but I am on my own modified prep diet. Protein shake breakfast then high protein low carb low fat meals and not anything over about 1200 calories per day. I am not adjusting that for exercise so I am really getting a lot less than that. Taking my blood glucose like a nut. I go to my pre-op meeting on the 28th. So that is the start of my actual liquid diet. Then the last two days is clear liquid.

Hi there. I will suggest that you try a zero nicotine eliquid used in a personal vaporizer. An electronic cigarette. Be sure it is zero nic. I know many many people who have been very successful this way. Me included.

Hello all. I am another September 13th person. Been well over a year in the making.

Hi there. Congrats to you! I am scheduled for Sept. 13. I will be one day ahead of you. Our support group leader advises everyone to keep the circle of trust very very small and then gradually expanding it or not as you see fit. I am of the other view. I will let people know what they want to know. Perhaps my situation will help someone make an important decision. I admit that I am naturally a "who gives a rats ass what anyone thinks" type of person. That is a luxury not everyone has. Anyway, best of luck with your journey.

I started my journey with an informational and insurance check meeting in June of 2016. I was approved to start the process. I finally got approval and a surgery date of 9/13/17. So for me it was forever it seems.
