Anyone?!? My surgery is Jan 6th and looking for others

I have a 10 day pre op diet and I can eat other things other than just protein shakes. I can have veggies and sugar free jello all I want. I am actually looking forward to doing this diet.

Did or does anyone else have a 2 day bowel prep for the RNY? My surgery is 1/16/14 and I have to start my bowel prep on 1/14/16

no bowel prep for me, just the pre op diet

My Surgery is booked for Jan 20th! So much to do before I leave my family for a week! I live in Manitoba Canada and my surgery is in Alberta so I have to book my flight and hotel! As well as cook a bunch of meals for my family. I will be having an open surgery so it will take longer to get back on my feet to help out around the house. In my case it is not mandatory to do the liquid pre op diet but I personally have chosen to do it for 1 week just to get used to it. I am looking forward to sharing ups and downs with all of you! Merry Christmas to you and your families!

2biglamb where in alberta is your surgery?

I don't have a bowel prep either. I was wondering about that. I guess my 2 week liquid diet is enough. I saw my surgeon yesterday and had my pre-surgery blood work and everything done. So far the diet is going okay. I am on day two. My surgeon said I can eat Christmas dinner tomorrow though! Said stick to low fat stuff. So I am thinking salad and turkey?

I would definitely stick to turkey, white meat only. Salad is good, without dressing, or maybe a light vinaigrette. Maybe there will be a veggie tray? Good luck to you!!!

My surgery is Jan 17,,I have to do a bowel prep but only the evening before surgery starting at 6 pm. I haven't heard of a 2 day prep. I've done one bowel prep in Oct a few hours before my surgery was cancelled due to the Dr's wife having her baby. At least now I know what to expect, but still not looking forward to it. Lol

Good luck!

My Surgery is in Medicine Hat with Dr.Carl Nohr.

Mine is in Medicine Hat on jan 21 with dr elkazam. Maybe I'll see you there.

That would be awesome! How long is your hospital stay? I am really hoping for a fellow by pass roommate!! Are you from the area? I will be so lonely as I am from Manitoba and have no support coming with me and I have to stay there for 1 week

I am from Lethbride. 2 hours west of Medicine Hat. So I won't likely have anyone visiting either. I should be there 3 days.

My surgery is tomorrow. I am very nervous now.

My date is Jan 20th!!

My Surgery is January 14th in Oregon and I have a 2wk Protein diet before and bowel prep the night before surgery for the RNY.
