January 23, 201313 yr Are you guys all required to do the 2 week liquid preop? I was told I have to eat low fat and low carb for a week prior but I think I may try to do the protein shakes instead to get started. If everyone else can do it for 2 weeks prior then I should be able to manage 1 week...
January 23, 201313 yr Author Danielle - My doc does a 7 week liquid diet, specifically to get the liver less fatty so she can maneuver it during surgery.
January 23, 201313 yr Author Actually....mine is scheduled for Feb 7th. Thanks for the update! Fixed!
January 23, 201313 yr I have to do a 10 day liquid diet....7 days of "creamy liquids" and the last 3 are all clear liquids...oh boy
January 23, 201313 yr Yes. I started my Protein Shakes (pre op diet-2 weeks) today! The first few days are the hardest (I did this last September when I had my original surgery date but found out that insurance only paid half at the last minute and couldn't afford it.) I survived it the first time.....I will survive it this time. By no means is it a walk in the park...but each day does seem to get easier.
January 23, 201313 yr You guys are inspriring me!! I think I will go home from work and have a protein shake! I had a soup and a small wrap for lunch and an egg this morning. I guess I will slowly work into all protein shakes before surgery. I am SO EXCITED - next Fri cannot come soon enough. I can't wait to get back and tell you all how it went!
January 24, 201313 yr I'm having my last pre-op meeting with the surgeon tomorrow and hopefully getting a date.
January 24, 201313 yr Mine is Feb 5th!!! I'm on my 2 week protein diet too, but the doctor did say I could eat some chicken or fish if I need too. It's been tough, but not as tough as I anticipated. :-)
January 24, 201313 yr My date is Feb.5th and I can't wait!!!!!! I have been on my pre op diet since Tuesday....really hasn't been to to bad just at night my stomach makes crazy loud sounds....I just keep reminding myself to keep my eye on the prize!!!! Looking forward to shopping for clothes at regular stores.
January 25, 201313 yr I'm scheduled for Feb 6th! On day 3 of 14 preop diet.. 3 shakes a day is not easy but there's no way I won't do it!!
January 25, 201313 yr Saw my surgeon today for a pre-op visit. I got my insurance approval and date as an added bonus. I'll be banded on February 4th.
