Just Jess reacted to purple tulip in pre-op diet?
I am required to do a 3 day clear liquid diet and nothing after midnight before surgery. It has been a rough couple of days, but I am happy to report that today is my last day of liquids! I go in for surgery tomorrow at 8am! Good luck to you. This is a crazy journey and I'm so glad to finally be here. You will be soon too!

My pre op diet was very strict and my Dr told me to follow it with no deviations at all, period!
3 Atkins shakes a day.
As much Water, sugar free Jello, broth, and coffee / tea as you want.

Just Jess reacted to My Big Day 3/15/2011 in pre-op diet?
Mine is as follows...
Breakfast 8 oz skim milk, 1/2 scoop Protein powder, 4 oz fruit
mid-morning premade Protein shake
lunch 4 oz fruit, 6-8 oz plain yogurt
afternoon 4 oz vegetable, 1 oz peanuts or1/2 cup hummus or Beans, or 2 tbsp Peanut Butter
dinner 4 oz Protein, 4 oz vegetable, 1/2 cup whole grains or 1/2 potato with 1 tbsp olive oil
early evening 8 oz skim milk, 1/2 scoop Protein Powder, 4 oz fruit
The above diet for two full weeks and then on the last day you can eat the Breakfast, mid-morning shake, and lunch then switch to Clear liquids after that and take mag citrate at 5:00, then lots of Water before midnight and npo after that. Wondering how fast mag citrate works? Hmmm.

Congratulations Jess! What a difference between the band and the sleeve. I think the sleeve is what I thought the band would be, other than it isn't adjustable. Why I wanted it adjustable I will never know. Good Luck to you!

Hi Jess. I just got the sleeve done 2weeks ago today. I live in No. Va. so I'm not to far from you. I've been one of the lucky ones as I've no complications. I had it done in costa rica on a Tuesday. Wed I was out of the hospital. I took no pain pills after Thursday, then took a flt home on Sunday. I had taken an extra 3 days off but I really didn't need it. Provided I don't lift anything I'm feeling fantastic and I've already lost 20 pounds.
Do you research to be comfortable with your decision. I'm hear if you have specific questions on the early stages.

Well welcome just jess.. It is a pleasure to meet you.. I was sleeved on the 1st of February. I have no regret jess and I am going to completely honest with you. When or if you have this surgery I am not going to tell you that you will not be in pain or have nausea. I will tell you that it is very temporary and after all this passes you will be a happier person. I will tell you that you truely need to do this for yourself and no one else. My spouse told me before I went in that she was going to support me but my decesion to have this was totally on me. I really do respect her for that. I will tell you the only down side to the surgery is that when they remove you stomach it is permanent. Would I do it again.. Yes I would do it 100 times over. I know this is for my health and I am on a journey of the new me.. I have only one regret. I wish I could have done it sooner...
