Hi there...I did not have a pre-op diet either, I just could not have any food after 10:00 pm the night before surgery. Every team is different in their requirements. Just keep asking your doctor questions for your concerns, you said he has good reviews but is lacking in communication so trust him and ask all the questions that you need to. You will be just fine, follow your plan.
Congratulations on your up coming surgery and I wish you all the best!

Everyone will have different pre and post op instructions. You need to follow what your surgeon has set forth as the guidelines for the program for his surgical patients.
It would be difficult for me to allow a surgeon to operate on me if I was not comfortable with how he or she presented information to me but that’s my opinion and maybe you only have one surgeon available to you.
Many topics you are asking about such as medications after surgery are often discussed in a group class prior to your surgery date, many times three-four weeks ahead of time. The nutritionist and bariatric coordinator are often the ones at this meeting.

Catherine weble thnxx for the info. Glad youre doing great. N thnxx for the info of prepping for post op. i didnt think of it. I will have lots to buy. n need to be loaded with protien drinks n gatorade..... Besides that i have read here that many post op suffer from Constipation. But u were the oposite? Well keep up the good work n zip zip zip.

I am a week pos-op and I am doing great. I have been taking care of myself since I got home. I am 63, by the way, I did a lot of prep work though. I filled the kitchen with the fluids and pureed food that i need post-op. It made the first couple of days home much easier. Other than the diarrhea (sorry if that is TMI) I have had no issues. My surgery was done laparoscopic so I have 5 small incisions, and the one that they used to remove the portion of my stomach that was removed through was sore for about 4/5 days, but I didn't need anything but tylenol for the pain. If you don't feel that your doctor is giving you enough information, keep on pressing for answers. You are paying him/her for their services and you have the right to know everything! If you aren't comfortable with this doctor, maybe you need to find one that you are more comfortable with. You will need to have a long term relationship with your doctor and their team. Good luck!

👑First beauty is very very subjective. And inner beauty counts most...this needs to be said more often👑
Have plastics if it makes *you* feel better screw everyone else's opining
Next, not every surgeon requires preop diets. Mine didn't. Follow your surgeon's instructions as best as you can.
Take off as much time as you can especially if you have to perform lifts and transfers.

That was difficult to read as it was all in 1 long paragraph that just blended together! In future try breaking it up and don’t use caps!
You are going for a sleeve with only 20lb to lose but you believe that if you lose this 20lb you will look ugly? So why are you doing it?
I had no preop diet for my revision, I was just told to stick to clean eating.
Why are you questioning what your surgeon has told you to do? You are trusting him or her with your life but you don’t want to trust them with your diet instructions?
Yes you can take whole pills after surgery.

This is what I was given, they said it was full of electrolytes to help dehydration after surgery. I think they also said it may prevent hunger after surgery. It was my choice whether to drink or not, i did drink whether it helped or not who knows!

Thank you

[emoji79] lol coño. You look ausome

DAMN!!!! YOU LOOK AMAZING KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!!

I crave cheese. That’s it. List the sweet taste. Which is great. I loved Cookies

That sounds too much. Maybe u should do research first n try a diff psyh. Asking prices first. I just had my psyh. Eval done and i was with this dr only 10 min and he is highly recomended by my surgeon. Yes just 10 min. I was sooo happy.

What kind of excercise is the burpee. Can anyone explaine. Thank you

Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app

A burpee is an AWFUL exercise move that blast the air right out of you! Just to do 5-10 will feel like death!
(really good for you)
Stand up, arms up, jump down into a plank, do a pushup, jump back up and jump, rinse, and repeat.

Mountaineer514, you are singing my song this morning. My surgery is TODAY 2/20/2019 at 1:30pm. While everyones jourany is different, I will share my journey health issues reversed journey as i am claiming it in the name of Jesus!!!

Yes, last year i changed my mind one week before my sleeve surgery ...got cold feet...scared.... This year im due in may. I was setting my mind for it. Since i weight 212... i only want to loose 50 LB. BUT M SCARED OF THE PAIN, MY Hair loss, AND LOOSING MORE THEN 50 lb. So i set my mind for it. Then last nite i was reading here n this forum that 3 individual post op people developed lots of itching in the back. Another in stomack n thighs n another in upper body then this itching turned into hives. I read all this and i got discouraged, i then say i will just loose 40 lbs on my own. But i loose this week n gain the other week. Its like no use. with 213 lb at 57 yr old, im confused.. why should i do surgery with all these complications. Number one complication would be my boops hanging to the floor along with my stomach n face. Not even talking about the nausea plus pain. So to yur question, yes i changed my mind before n i pray i Dont change it again. Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app

not me - but it wouldn't have worked for me. I had lost 50-60 lbs countless times, and the weight always eventually came back. I had over 200 lbs to lose, and I finally came to the realization that it wasn't gonna happen without intervention. I'm almost 60 years old and have been overweight/obese my whole life. WLS is the only thing that "worked".
