I'm looking for a band buddy too. I have all the same pre-op diet questions. My surgery is scheduled for the 13th and had the opportunity to change to the 7th but my daughter's dance recital is that Sat and I dont wanna be sick. I have to start my diet on the 29th so this weekend I will enjoy a steak.

My surgery date is May 5th .. three days after my birthday so this is my gift to ME!! Yaaaaay ME! LOL.

I have finished all my pre-op tests. On 4/26 I will meet with my nurse caseworker, dietician, and will also talk with the surgeon and the anesthesiologist. HOWEVER, after reading all the other post on here.. I'm wondering why i don't have a date to start my pre-op diet? My original date for the meetings with the surgeon and dietician were on April 12th but they called and changed it to the 26th. Did they forget to tell me when to start my pre-op diet? I have no idea what to eat or not to eat prior to surgery?? Super Excited.. getting nervous

My surgeon hasn't mentioned anything about a pre-op diet to me but I have a pre-op appt a little before two weeks of surgery..so I might find out then..

Maybe you want to call them and just double check?

Good Luck!

Had my pre-op appt yesterday! Surgery is scheduled for May 3rd at 7:30 am!!!

Now I am just scared about the whole having surgery thing. I have never had surgery before.

Pre-op diet is going ok...still hungry, Isopure is the only one I can stomach, but I still suck it down. And I know after surgery I have to sip slowly. But if I can do this I can do anything. Oh and I lost 14 pounds in 5 days!!! Although I am sure some of this was Water weight as I also started my cycle. But was super excited to see that!

I just got my surgery date today which is May 3rd. I was excited and nervous prior to getting a date, now it all seems surreal to me. I am in total shock that this is finally going to happen. Good luck to all the May bandsters! :smile:

I start on the 30th. Not sure what it consists of yet, but I have an appointment with the clinic next week, so I'm sure they'll cover it all then.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
