Shopped for my pre-op diet and got some of the stuff I'll need post-op. Someone told me about Peanut Butter powder and I got some to add to my Protein Drinks. It's really pretty good. It's a lot lower in calories and fat than regular or even reduced fat PB. I can't wait to try it in a shake. I also got a bottle off liquid vitamins/minerals. I was scared' date=' but it really doesn't taste too bad. It's bright green tho. LOL! Oh well, as long as I can get it down, that's all that matters. I start my pre-op diet Monday. I remember what it was like from before I was banded. Not looking forward to it, but am trying to keep in mind that it will help me get to where I want to be. Having my hubby make his famous grilled burgers tonight. The last one for a long time. I'm not sad about that though, I'm just ready to feel better and find myself again.[/quote']

That's crazy I shopped for pre & post today around 7pm! I got everything for 7 day diet which starts tomorrow & 3 day liquids which I'll do again post operatively. I ate my Mexican food & getting ready for BIG bowl of ice cream...

feb 1 is coming up so faaaaaasssst! So the literature that my doc gave me says start the preop 6 days prior to surgery. My surgery is feb5...which is you know, getting here.... When he talked he said a week. So now I"m like. ok. a week or 6 days. now this is getting vitally important as I know i'm going to be on full liquids for 8 solid weeks, a day freaking does matter to me. Surgery tuesday...start this tuesday or wednesday. I know i'm being ridiculous and the more time i give to shrink my liver the safer but you know....i'm trying to kiss my brownies and italian food goodbye!

My surgeon says that Bariatric Advantage is MANDATORY for my pre-op and post-op diet. I ordered it even though many of the people in this forum say it's gross. I did purchase the Premier Protein already made shakes from Sam's Club. The vanilla isn't bad but the after taste is icky. I'm thinking that all Protein has this icky taste so I'm just going to have to suck it up.

Anyone else trying different Proteins?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
