I am scheduled for June 28 th... I start my pre op diet on Sunday!! Wondering if we can drink coffee? Tell me about your diet?

I've been reading a lot of the posts and watching a few you tube videos and one thing I noticed everyone has a different diet and restrictions. I can keep having coffee, but since I've been told I will be given Decaf after surgery and can't have my Bustelo from home I've decide to wean myself from coffee. Don't want a Migraine hitting me after surgery and I need my family to help out afterwards. I've been told that I turn into the she hulk when I'm deprived of my coffee. So I'm slowly decreasing my intake until I can go three days without coffee and work out my withdrawal issues. I also want to be able to focus on my surgery and not a migraine or withdrawal symptoms.

I am about a week and a half post op, I'm on the soft food stage. Anyone have any good food ideas that have Protein? I still have to wait another week before I can purée meat.< /p>

I was told that baby food is a good way to get Proteins in. Apparently some of the other patients mentioned that to the nutritionist. I still have to look it up, but ask your doctor if that would be ok.

I have my surgery scheduled for Monday the 16th at 9:50...I am excited and nervous..any of you ladies that already have had the surgery have any suggestions about wearing a bra after the surgery?? With my gall bladder removal, I had one incision right where by bra lays but I went home and did not wear one and did not care..but if I am at the hospital and walking around I want to be decent but not in pain...

I was in a hospital gown with an IV for 3 days. My gown was huge and I didn't give a rats ass about how I looked. I was focused on not being sick. With the IV in it will be hard to get a bra on. You will need nurses assistance.

In in the middle of my pre-op diet. (surgery Jne 30) It's a total of 3-weeks long. Two-weeks on a 1200 calorie restricted diet followed by a one week protein-shake diet.

The first couple of days I had trouble focusing and was tired. Then about Thrusday, I got really hungry. I'm better today.

I have to stop taking my arthritis pain 7 days before the surgery.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
