Hoping They Dont Postpone My Surgery



Recommended Posts

So today after speaking to my NUT she told me that what I was eating as my two week pre op diet was all wrong and that I should be having the Bariatric Advantage Meal Replacement shakes. But my surgery is on May 1st and there is no way I can have it deliver at a reasonable time. Anyways after reading some of the topics I asked her if I can use Body Fortress and she mention that while it's not her first choice she's not completely against it. So now I'm just worried is there any way that they can stop my surgery because I did'nt do as I was told. I have been waiting so long for this surgery and I wouldn't want for it to be cancel. Hopefully someone can share their experience so I know I'm not alone here.

It's all about the liver, they need your liver to shrink. My NUT gave me recommendations for Protein shakes. I did EAS Carb control AdvanEdge already made shakes. I'm on the go so I don't have time for a blender. That was 110 cals with 17 grams of Protein had the twice or sometimes three a day. Then small meal at night, Jello and Water in between. What is it that your NUT wants you to focus on? Are you liquids only or low carb? Have you lost any weight?

My surgeon provided different choices. The Bariatric Advantage was one of them but I used Designer whey and picked it up at the grocery store. She should give you guidelines as to what they want the Protein Shake to consist of I would think. Doubt she will cancel your surgery if you stick closely to your diet and have lost some weight by surgery. Praying that your surgery will move forward as scheduled for you!

I think you'll be ok. I drink the body fortress shakes. My pre op was only 1 week. My hubby is going in April 30. He starts his pre op Monday. Walmart-15.00 body fortress.

Sorry for the late respond I went to Walmart and bought the body fortress I bout the chocolate, chocolate with Peanut Butter, Cookies and cream, and strawberry. Has anyone had these favors?should I take some back? Will I be able to use them after surgery? I am only on liquid diet from tomorrow on of course. I was told to have a shake every three hours and to have some salad as well. But Otherwise all I can have is liquid. Crystals light, Jello, broth, and Protein Shake, are the only thing I can have from tomorrow till surgery on May 1st. Now my question still stands can they postpone surgery because I did not complete a full two week of pre op

Only reason they would postpone is if you didn't follow the plan and gain weight or if they do the surgery and your liver is too big they can reschedule. Honestly you should be ok, I'd call your surgeons office and ask. Only they know really what would have to happen for them to reschedule. Least you'll have piece of mind verses worrying based off of advice from us you know.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
