Im a Kaiser peep, using the South Sac location. My surgery date was changed from 10/2 to 11/6 due some health issues. But Im clear to go now and just have one last dr appointment for my post op diet class. Is anyone else in November or have kaiser? I had lots of peeps on my October list but now I have a new date and would love to have some others to follow along with and share our journeys..

Hi all. So when are my fellow November sleevers starting your pre op diet? How are u getting your vitamins protein drinks and everything together for post op?

That is a good question! I just got a copy of the diet. Idk really what to do with the info, though. For instance it says SF carnation. Does it have to be carnation?

I start my pre op diet November 4. Surgery November 11. I'm getting all my protein supplements and vitamins together now.

I had my final nutritional appt today. My surgery is on the 3rd and I started my preop this past Sat. I bought all my protein shakes and vitamins from Vitamin Shoppe.

I'm a bit new here, and have surgery scheduled Nov 3, I haven't had my pre-op appointments yet. What does it mean when you guys say that you've 'started your pre-op'?

I start my pre-op diet 14 days before surgery, so October 30th will be my last day of food. I haven't gotten my protein shakes yet but will probably do that this weekend ???? when we say "started our pre-op" that means we've gone to a pre-op appointment and the diet we're talking about is the all fluid diet which should have been prescribed by your surgeon!

My doc didn't say anything about vitamins. What are u taking?

My date is set for Nov 5th. Start my pre op diet on 10/22.. I been replacing breakfast with a protein shake to have an idea what to expect. The thought of going cold turkey off food and just fluids has me going crazy

I'm on day 5 of preop with just my protein shakes. I am doing it for exactly one whole month. It's tough but 10lbs down in 5 days so far.

@@wife4life good for you.. I'm so nervous about the pre op diet. My nutritionist said if I have to eat then let it be veggies. I know I'm going to end up doing that lol.
