I was a bypass so I don’t know the tips for you! But - don’t panic, don’t be surprised if you “change your mind” in the leadup days/weeks, follow your plan.

This is a tool - a great one but you have to use it - it gives you a chance to relearn eating, health, fitness. It won’t fix it for you. I didn’t really kget’ that til after the op. I do now, and am good with it - start working on that change in your head. Empty your place of trash food, start exploring other stuff. I always wondered how people liked bor8ng food - now I am a convert - but I had to help it happen, not eat a Big Mac and hope!!

People seem to hate the pre-op liquid. I didn’t have it (cos I needed open surgery) but you get through it. It does matter to shrink your liver and make the surgery easier, safer...

Thanks Biddy zz, I am trying to rethink my eating habits, actually trying to do more liquids now, I thought about drinking 2 glasses of Protein Powder now but not sure if that is wise or not.

I met with both of them and my last diet appointment for the six months of pre op diet.

Congratulations, prayers are with you. Keep me posted.

The hardest point was the leadup. And missing real food while I learned how to eat well.

The most transformative bit, now? Start every meal with Protein, then eat other stuff, and limit carbs, especially sugars.

i crave different stuff. Lettuce! Who knew a person could crave lettuce? Watermelon right now. Coffee-vanilla Protein ice slushes (my forever breakfast!).

How was your pre-opt liquid? I am glad that things are working out for you, I just can't wait for my schedule date. I am having the sleeve done, do you have any pointers for me

You say your last appointment, was that with the nutritionist or the psychologist?

Way to go, seems like you are doing fantastic. What was the hardest point for you? How long did it take for you to start seeing your weight drop.

Hello everyone, new to the forum. I am trying to get my support groups for before and after surgery together. I am going through my last steps for pre-surgery, I just completed my Psych Eval., and will do my return 45 min. visit this Thursday, I should be ready to be scheduled for my surgery date hopefully by early next week.

Thanks for accepting me.
