[drsadinaik 1]

Hi everyone ... I am new to this forum but I am glad I have joined it ... I am 30 yrs old radiologist, weighing 216 pounds... Already having degenerative changes in my knees ... Somehow have convinced my parents for this surgery... I have been told to go on Protein Shake + liquid diet 10 days prior to the surgery ... Anything else that I need to take care about ...

I havent been told about a liquid diet until after but I did find a great recipe site for the Protein Shakes you may want to look at theworldaccordingtoeggface. She has all kinds of recipes on there. I dont like the plain flavors of the shakes so far. Another thing that I have scene on multiple sites is gas-x strips and a small pillow for when your in the hospital. My surgery is scheduled for April 16th. Good luck! Im sure your going to do amazing!

I m anxious taking the surgery ... Can u tell me immediate post opt effects that I am likely to face... So that I am prepared for it ....

My surgery date is 4/10 as well. I'm converting from lapband to gastric sleeve. I'm excited and hopefull that I can get the weight off that I have regained over the past few years.

Awesome !!! So I have someone with me to share.... Shelley are u already on a diet or any other pre - opt prep

[shelly:) 19]

not really. I am limited some because of my lapband. I go for pre-op, education class, and hospital pre-reg 3/26. I'm going to do the 2 week liquid diet whether its recommended or not. Just figured I can start getting adjusted to it.

I found the liquid diet the hardest part. 1 week of clear fluids the first week post op. Once you make it past that, it gets way better. I also will warn you that I did not do well with the anisthesia. I was sick my first 3 days. Once it wore off I was super! Absolutely no pain at all. Best wishes to you!

Stephanie but is it that u loose a lot in this period of clear liquids... also when can u start eating portions if food ...

I'm also April 10th. I'm very nervous about the pre-op diet that I have to start in a few days. Good luck to you, soon we will be on the losers bench.

[drsadinaik 1]

Yuppie... I just went to meet the doctor with my reports ... I have been told to start the liquid diet with Protein Shakes from 2 nd of April ... How about you ...

[Jenelle 141]

Only one week? lucky you. I have to start mine on the 27th 2 weeks before. But because I know Im such a slow loser I started yesterday. I have been trying to cut back ever since I heard I was approved and did not lose a single pound. So I figured Ill start this liquid thing early so in case I slip at least I got a couple of days to adjust to the "real thing". So far yesterday I felt hungry in the afternoon. And I had like 3 sugar free popsicles but that did not do much so I had a little bit of Peanut Butter and Water and that calmed me down a little, That and then I went to bed early so I would forget about the hunger.LOL
