Hello my I am new to the site. I'm schedule for surgery 11-11-13. I don't go to class until 10-28 and the say I will be there most of the day. At that time I will be put on the pre-op diet as well. What does the pre-op diet consist of? Or is there a link where I can find this info? Thanks

Hello and welcome! Everyone's Pre-Op diet seems to be different. I know that when I had my last appt with the surgeon is when he told me what i would be having on my 2 week diet. Gave me options of different Protein Drinks that I will have to drink for those 2 weeks. Good luck!

I have my final appointment with the nutritionist tomorrow. Hoping she signs off but feeling anxious. Last we met the goal was early November.

How did your appointment go?

Had my NUT appt today and went well. She did tell me she wants to see me one more time before surgery!! Was not prepared for that. I was told only 1 visit was needed. I have my pre-op visit tomorrow and the surgeon is supposed to submit all paperwork to insurance co tomorrow ! I emailed NUT and she assured me her paperwork will be submitted and all should be ok. Fingers crossed all goes well tomorrow and paperwork will be submitted with no delays ! This surgery needs to happen on the 4th !! Ready for the change.

I think so. Some people I've talked to have had it and some people haven't. So I'm just up in the air!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
