My doctor doesn't require any liquid pre opt diet except for two days prior to surgery. But I'm gonna do one on my own. I'm also going to work out at the Y. It will help with the recovery time. Will be starting my diet Monday since my surgery date is Feb 9th. One minute I'm freaking out then the next nice calm. Hate feeling like this !

Hello! Just got my insurance approval yesterday, and my assumption is that I'll have a February date! Yippie!!!

I'm having RNY. I'm getting nervous, but I'm ready for this. My pre-op diet is two weeks liquid. --definitely jealous of those that get a small meal once a day.

I finally figured out my issue, my bloodsugar is crashing in thw late afternoon/early evening to the point I pass out. I'm not diabetic, but it was suspected I had low blood sugar, when I was in high school and college. Seems 20 yrs later that it's rearing an ugly head again. Last night I passed out for 3 hrs. Calling the surgeon means delaying surgery again. Maybe by the 2nd I will have adjusted to this. Husband said no more afternoon driving for me.

@@GAWildKat Check out hypoglycemia, you may have it. There was talk here last year about this subject and one of our Gastric Bypass buddies said he carries around with him glucose tablets. There's usually precursor symptoms but checking your blood sugar is a good idea to do. My sugar started to runs a little low after my RNY procedure and I now check mine. Best of luck to you.

Congrats on the approval and wow my process to getting a surgery date took soooo much longer. I am so happy I get a small meal. Just liquids for two weeks, YIKES! but I have seen posts from many that have done it. All part of our new life and I finally see a light at the end of tunnel, have not felt that way for a long time. I so appreciate all the posts it I a really helping me to know others are in my position. How I can be so excited for something and still so anxious (scared half to death) about the process. Keep us updated when you get a for sure date :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
