My date is Sept. 24th. I am glad that my Dr. had a cancellation and I was able to get it. I have my NUT class on 9/10 and start my 2 week pre-op. I am excited, anxious and scared all at the same time. Anyone have advise as far as pre-op diet (good foods,bad foods)?

Yay! That means you start your 2 week pre-op in less than a week! Woo, it's gonna fly by. I would follow the pre-op diet your doctor recommended. If he didn't give you one, I'd eat less carbs, a little less calories, and make sure you're getting in your water/some exercise. Losing a few pounds before surgery will help decrease your risks, even if it's just a little.

Wey hey .i got my date.20th september.cant wait.its crazy how different surgeons are tho.i have no pre op diet.dont have to take vitamins.he says that only bipass patients have to do all of that.as vsg patients still absorb nutrients.?

I meet with the nutrition specialist on 9/10 and get my pre-op diet plan and food then. I was hoping that someone that has been thru this recently could tell me good or bad foods. I have heard that the chicken soup is pretty good along with the jello

Jakat, I ate A LOT of the oatmeal and pancakes. Those were about the only things that tasted decent. I could also tolerate the eggs, chicken with noodles and jello. Definitely choose the crispy protein bars over the creamy ones. I mean, none of it is going to be great but you will survive.

My Surgery is set for the 24th also. I start my preop diet on Monday. I'm so excited!

keldolbeth, thanks for the advise. Kadie sounds great we will be going thru it all at the same time. Good luck
