A bit nervous about tomorrow. Got to go in for my pre op evaluation. I have read up on all the tests they could do. Feeling curious about which ones they will do on me. Getting ready to start my 12 day pre op liquid diet. Got my low sodium chicken broth, beef broth, Protein shakes. Some sugar free Jello. Unflavored whey Protein powder to mix in with my broth. Hubby bought me some sugar free pudding. Not sure that counts as a liquid though. Got my baby plate fork and spoon a while ago. Also picked up this new transition sippy cup to help with the sipping of my liquids. I think I'm ready. My last supper will be tomorrow night. My husband has planned to take me to out to a nice restaurant after the all day testing and learning marathon. I still plan to try and stick to my limits though. While still enjoying myself.

I just got the date for my revision. Halloween! I will be having my RNY revised, a small bowel obstruction removed and adhesions removed. Really excited but scared. I don't know why since I did this almost 9 years ago the first time.

Hi pear. When did you have your initial RNY?

My initial surgery was in January 2005. I lost 97 lbs and was happy (152 lbs). In January 2009 after I was finished with an extremely horrible divorce I fell into a huge depression. Long story short w/in 3 years I gained about 70 lbs back. This past January I decided to look into a revision specialist to see what my options were. I hesitated for awhile thinking he couldn't or wouldn't do anything. Finally in August I met with the doc and now I'm having my revision and a couple other procedures that need to be fixed after the doc did an EGD. Basically I'm treated like it's my first RNY. I had to meet all the insurance requirements and such.

So I called the insurance company today and they said my case is under physician review. I forgot to ask if that's protocol or not. Does anyone here know? I know they put my date down as the 30th but I'm freaking out because they've submitted my paperwork on the 9th and I still haven't gotten an answer. I can't even get myself to diet, I'm so anxious! :(

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
