Got a lot of information today during my preop appointment. Talked with anesthesiologist and nurse. I'll be on a liquid diet beginning January 2nd consisting of 4 Protein Shakes and Clear Liquids. Yum! Can't wait!! I'm just so ready for my RNY!!!!

Hi! My surgery is scheduled for January 6 also! I am excited and nervous both. I have a two week shake diet along with clear liquids. That starts December 23. So no Christmas dinner. but it will be fine. I just have to think about my goals for the long term and not focus on now.

I am having mine with Dr. Aceves. I see that you had planned to go with him as well. What changed your mind?

[Eroper6 21]

4meonly- I changed jobs and got insurance that covers the procedure so I'm having it in the States. I've heard he's excellent though!

Eroper, what kind of preop diet will you be on the day before surgery?

[Eroper6 21]

I will be on a liquid diet for one week before surgery. I can't remember if Dr. Aceves requires a pre-op diet.

Starting my pre-op two week Protein Shake diet today. The count down is starting! I am trying really hard not to freak myself out worrying. Trying to just not think about it for now. If I dwell on it too much, I will be a nervous wreck.
