Hoping to schedule surgery before Labor Day.

I will be staying at Sophia's House. It's right across the road from St. Mary's. It is for families of people who haveto stay overnight.

Well I just went for my pre-op appt yesterday. I am lucky in that I only have to do a 1 week pre-op diet. Its been fine' date=' nothing too terrible. They have you do alot of processed foods which isn't my favorite but oh well.

I go for labs thurs and I am scheduled for 730am mon(st marys). I am happy to be first thing too. 2 night stay prob unless they think I am ok sooner. They really have their stuff together, everything is stream lined and well communicated. I have nothing but good things to say about GHP. So happy my ins will cover this so I didn't have to go far away.

Are you getting excited! You aren't far off,[/quote']

Hi!!

How are you doing? Awesome you have just one week pre op diet. Sara, his assistant, told me two weeks. How are you feeling? Excited? Nervous?

Write back when you can, Elana

Oh! I just re read your previous post!!! You were sleeved on the 5th!!!! Congrats!!! How are you feeling???????

How are you doing adargie?

Congrats on a date, gardengirl. I had dr. Foote also and he's just great. 7 weeks now and starting to feel pretty good, except diarrhea issues that we're working on.

7 weeks out? Great!! Are you feeling back to normal? How was our recovery overall? Are you please with our weight loss results?

I'm in Grand Blanc. Being sleeved by Dr. Fahran at Hurley. I've completed all my requirements just waiting on a date

Surgical recovery was a breeze, very easy. I ended up with lots of issues regarding intolerance of whey Protein and lactose, so still dealing with diarrhea almost every day and having to work around that, it the surgery itself was pretty good. Had some shoulder pain early on but it passed in the first couple weeks.

Just trying to figure out all the waging and getting protein in. I have been released to "all foods". - yay- but in order to get in the 60g of protein, you really can't enjoy much of anything else anyway:(

I'm in Canton. Sleeved April 8th by Doc Pop at Barix.

To those who are with Grand Health Partners: what is the pre op diet like and how hard was it to stick to? I go to the half day class on Monday. Hope everyone is doing well, thanks,Elana.

I'm in Michigan flint area

In Michigan Holland area planning on surgery in September.

Grand health partners pre op is pretty easy. 6 products a day plus 64 oz. Of beverage.

The preop is all their food, so if you stick to it, you really don't cheat because its all theirs. Also, they know what outré eating and can tell by your weight if you've varied from the plan.

The NUT will go with you through ordering foods from the store to cover the 2 weeks and then you get them at the end.

IMO, stay far away from the broccoli cheese Soup and most Soups. The meals are pretty good esp the pot roast is very good. Most of the bars are decent. Jello is jello.

You will get through it, it's much easier than the liquid post op two weeks.

Hope I don't sound stupid but...dr. Foote's assistant Sara told me I'll be on a two week liquid diet. Wouldn't that be different than your two week pre op of meals, bars, soup, etc?

The 2 week post op diet is all liquid, maybe she was confused about which one you were asking about.
