I dont even have a pre op diet. I only do clears the first day post op then I am on full liquids for a month while my stomach heals.

I found a protein powder on this site called CREME. I love it. It isnt as sweet as most.

Iam scheduled for April 3. Getting nervous. I found some great youtube videos that tell you what supplements to take. You should check that out. I ordered gummies and patches for the first few weeks. Lets stay in touch so that we can go through this together, ok?

Its bright yellow because of vitamins.

I was told that any thing in liquid form counts so soup would count.

Ice cream is not a clear liquid but it is a full liquid. Popsicles are a clear liquid.

Yes

Good luck! Check in after surgery snd tell us how you are doing!

I have GERD and my surgeon talked me into a sleeve ( which exacerbates GERD) instead of the bypass ( which cures GERD). He said this is because the GERD is caused by the weight gain. Now i am worried. Surgery is April 3.

Yes, i live in San Rafael and i am having sleeve on April 3.

Congratulations!!!!

I know this is the obvious, but why don't they prescribe something for the diarrhea? Is that contraindicated?

Lufifi, I loved reading your post. Not only was it inspiring, you crack me up! You're a great writer!

[quote Thanks for the inspiration!!!!

I just started liquid diet although I don't have a date yet. Has anyone tried to be creative with it? Just curious. I don't want to get bored with it before I even have my surgery.

I haven't hady surgery yet but I am practicing finding other ways to feel comforted besides food. Unfortunately my replacement became shopping. Now that I am broke I am trying to find another replacement. Lol!

Lol!!

Congratulations!!!!!

I would call the surgeon. Those are not typical symptoms of sugar or caffeine withdrawal. Dont worry about being a wimp.

Hi I am just waiting on insurance clearance and then can set my date for vertical sleeve gastrectomy. Surgeon said that he would try to get me on March schedule. It will be so nice to have buddies going through this!!!

I am wondering about the pre op diet as well. My nutritionist said to do the low fat full liquid diet. That sounds crazy to me. I don't even have my surgery date yet. I thought she would put me on a low carb diet. Got any idea why I would benefit from low fat full liquid diet now??
