I see so many people on 7 day, 10 day, even 30 day liquid diets before surgery! Our dr only requires a 3 day liquid diet before surgery. mind boggling when I see these other post. wow more power to you all!

we are from upstate ny.. Anyone else from here? My wife and I are having the surgery together August 21 we have Medicare/Medicaid insurance and nothing was required.. I guess we're lucky because we're reading a lot where people have had to loose weight, have a 6 month diet/exercise program or some other insurance requirement.. maybe it's the surgeon we see, but all we had was the seminar, consultation, H. Pylori testing, psychiatrist, EKG, dietitian, and surgical clearance.. pretty simple I'd say! I'm feeling very blessed because we have an Autistic special needs daughter and we really need to be there for her, so bettering our lives is definitely a must.

we are so ready that we have already cut out soda, smoking, and normal everyday eating, and stocked our deep freezer with lean cuisine, and pantry with crystal light, Protein shakes, unsweetened apple sauce, broths, mashed potatoes, and whatever else is going to be needed! We have completely changed everything so that after surgery it's not going to be a shock to our mind, mental health, or our bodies!!! I still know that we're gonna struggle, have pain, and go through ups and down and were prepared for that.

I wish everyone luck and can not wait u till we have our surgery!
