Recommended Posts

Hi everyone.New Jersey here.

I'm mostly new here but find so much good stuff in the posts. Im having surgery, sleeve, on Tuesday, Sept. 26. Must admit I'm both excited and nervous. I have been on a one week pre-surg diet...basically 3 Protein Drinks, 74oz Water, and 6-8 each day of yougurt, unsweetened applesauce, chicken, v8 juice. So been doing great with the diet.....not hungry, but sure don't feel like I've lost yet. lol . So good luck to my fellow September peeps. Can't wait for Tuesday to be over. Keep you posted. Thanks!!!

I notice the pre op diet varies from person to person. Do your starting weight determine your pre op diet?

My starting weight before my pre op diet was 283. I'm on my second week now and I'm down 10 pounds.

My daily pre op diet consist of 2-3 Protein Shakes, 4-6 ounces of lean meat or fish with veggies, and 64 ounces of Water.

The pre-op diet does seem to vary quite a bit. I don't know what it is based on or is it just the doctors preference? I was 243 on weds. Started the diet 2 days early on Sunday so I don't really know. Now my chicken was to be 3 ounce. When is your surgery?

You got this. Just know. The road to perdition is bumpy. Remain committed to yourself and your supports (online and live supports groups, friends and family, etc). Stay n touch.

I see you're getting or got the lap band, you should know my wife lost over hundred pounds on the lap band ( 5 years ago) and has had no complications with it, my wife is a big fan of it, and so am I, good luck on your continued journey

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
