So I have surgery on the July 1st and a preop appt Wednesday 24th so it is less than a week from surgery and no one has mentioned a preop diet...I was told that I was no at midnight the night before my surgery....I want to lose weight preop...what gives lol. I know drs are all different but what about the right of passage. Everyone is like you'll never eat another one of ....again so you should eat it now :-( I want to be on the losers bench

My surgery is on July 9, 2014. Pre-op diet starts on the 25th. I am not going to lie, since I found out my surgery date, I have been having food funerals!! You name it I have had it. Just to remember the taste. My Bday is on the 27th of July and I had my birthday cake yesterday. Figures right. Well I am tired of it all. The food has me feeling sick and I ready to start my pre-op diet. I am ready for my new life on the 9th.

Hey ladies! So, only about 3 more weeks for me and I start my pre-op liquid diet on the 25th. My pre op diet is standard across the board for everyone. My surgery is also a revision from sleeve to bypass. How is everyone feeling right now? I'm excited for sure!

Im super excited. Have a month to go. My appetite is raging and I just wanna get it over with before I gain a hundred pounds lol. Stress eating. Am having fun buying things like a kitchen scale, 2 oz freezer safe containers for food, popsicle molds so I can have unlimited popsicles during preop and those first few weeks that sound so tough.

Hope you are all doing well :-)

Well you could make your own diet. Maybe two meal replacement shakes per day, couple of healthy snacks and one healthy high protein meal. Lots of water. I guess run it by the dr tho

Yes food funeral that's it

Luckily I wasn't put on a pre op diet ..

I really don't think I will be put on one either. Oh goody gain 5 lbs in a week until sirgery

OK, I just finished my pre-op testing! Squeee!! The nurse said I had "perfect" blood pressure. LOL Yes, that and crappy knees, a dodgy hip, swollen feet/ankles, high cholesterol, heat rash everywhere, etc., etc., etc. I just have the nutritionist tomorrow and a last once over with my PCP and then it's on to the OR. Feeling excited and nervous and just plain ready to get this show on the road.

I have to do the liquid diet for 2 weeks pre-op. They make everyone do it, even tho I don't need to lose even close to what other people need to lose. Mines a revision but they're still making me do it. *sigh* but I will because I follow directions.

Good luck to all! July is only 1 week away!!

Luckily I wasn't put on a pre op diet ..

so how did ur pretend testing go? Did u ask about the preop diet???

I meant pretesting!!!
