@@finediva Are you allowed to have anything other than shakes for your pre op diet?

[HKMOM 12]

What kind of stuff is on your pre diet. My surgery is 7/15 at usc keck. I start my liquid diet on Monday. Do you think applesauce is something I could eat in my pre surgery diet.

Very excited for this new part of my life to begin!

I highly recommend the EAS Advantage Carb Control shakes in dark rich chocolate. They are ready made and my dr allowed 1-2 per day (17gm protein). I get them real cold and they taste great.

AGREED!! They are my favorite too. I hope I still like them after surgery!!!

I am having my sleeve surgery on July 9th. Can't wait!!

[blondebomb 580]

My surgery is July 7th. I am nervous, but excited. I have been told I don't have a pre-op diet, and just nothing to eat the night before. Also, I don't have to do the magnesium citrate.....feeling very lucky about all that!

Anyone on who has already had their procedure this month? How's it going so far? Good luck, everyone!

Hi CandyPants81. Basically just the shakes. My surgeon said I should munch on celery and carrots if I get hungry. Really.???! I am cranky and have a massive headache...I gave up coffee so it must be the withdrawal from it. So, I will confess I ate two boiled eggs. I will get back on track for day three. How are you doing?

I had my procedure on Thursday and I am doing fabulous. I went shopping today to hit the July sales and suggest a lot of walking right after to rid yourself of Co2 right away. I am healing still and taking it easy. I'm holding down 8 oz of Protein and Water at a time and have no nausea. I fell lucky a little tired and still a little pain. good luck keep us posted, I did make the mistake of trying frozen yogurt that will not happen again until my recovery is complete.

Woke up around 7 pm feel great!! I had a boob job in 2010 and this hurts a lit less!! Feel just like after first day at the gym!!

Are you traveling far? I had to travel so I brought everything during my recovery at a nice hotel. You won't need much, a toothbrush, and a robe. I was only there one night and had to use a walker, so slippers? The hospital provides everything be prepared for so when you leave make sure you have loose fitting clothes and a driver. You will need to pick up prescriptions afterwards to be clear to the nurse where you are picking those up. No time to read, so don't worry about that unless you stay longer. God speed your healing and hope all goes well!

I am not hungry but I'm doing exactly what Dr said to, stay hydrated and I can hold down 8 oz without any nausea at a time. still recovering but I walk walk walk! Day 2 and on my way to successful healing. Missviscious how are you feeling?

[CALean 3]

July 21 is on for me! I'm excited and nervous, and my husband is so scared, because he keeps thinking of the older types of surgeries that didn't work well. Slowly I will get his thumbs up.

Good luck to you all, I'm in NorCal, anyone else?

Hi All,

This is my first time here. I'm scheduled for surgery July 9, and I am currently in 6 day pre-op liquid diet. Struggling with severe headaches, almost passed out at the library today (3rd day). I hope this gets better. Any suggestions that might help?

[galady1106 2]

Oh, I'm self-pay in St. Louis. Started at 332, down to 309 now.
