I completed my 6 month requirement the 1st week of April & met my surgeon on Monday 4/21. Today I received the call from the surgeon's office saying I'm set to go! She asks "how's May 6th?" Seriously!! Less than 2 weeks. I start my preop diet today . I'm so excited, yet so nervous.

Congratulations!

That is great! I got my call today that I am approved. I am now waiting on the surgeon to call. It is all coming together! Congratulations once again.

Awsome, I go in on May 5th!! Excited!!!

Annie68-Congtats! I also started my pre-op diet today.

Thanks! It's so nice to be able to chat with people going through the same thing .

Hi Annie68 - how is the pre-op diet going? How are you doing?

Good! I started the day after they called me (4/25), since it was less than 2 weeks to my date. They have me on a 4+1 plan, 4 shakes and one meal/day. Is that similar to what you guys are on? They gave me a handout with dinner suggestions, which really helps . My hardest time is at night if I'm watching TV, that's our biggest snack time. The dietician suggested sugar free Jello, which helps!

I was signed up for the post op diet instruction class on the day that is now my surgery date, so they are having me come in today to go over everything. I'm still in disbelief that my surgery is one week from tomorrow!!

How are you all doing with your pre-op diets?

I am on 3 protein diets and can do broths, jello and diet drinks like Snapple or Diet Welch Grape juice. No dinner for me so a bit harder. 10 more days to go before surgery. It's right around the corner!

Wow- how many calories? I'm on 1000-1100/day. My shakes are 110 each (440 total), then dinner is 400-500, and one fruit.

Right around the corner is right!

About 800 calories full liquid diet. Funny thing is I am not physically hungry.
