I didn't really do a pre op diet since I was low BMI but after surgery I had terrible headaches for 9 days in a row ! It was the worst thing about surgery for me! I'm guessing a combination of detoxing from the junk I was eating, plus stress and anesthesia and a little dehydrated too.

I'm just trying to make for an easy breezy surgery. I started the pre op high protein- low carb diet 14 days prior to my surgery date. My nurse said it would help for recovery as well...

I think the pre op is a good thing ! Especially Protein loading for surgery. I did cut back some and lost 4 lbs in 4 days. For headaches I took mostly the pain meds they gave me for surgery, not sure what they were, they melt under your tongue and when it got really bad I took tramadol. You should be good for tylenol until you get closer to date.

I'm sorry, the 10th... Surgery on the 11th. Maybe we can keep in touch? I met another lady named Debra that will be there with us as well. She's from Maryland.

How are you today? I decided to resleeve. My daughter is going with me to have a sleeve. Unfortunately Dr Rod is not doing the surgery. He offered a ring around the sleeve or a bypass which I don't want

Yes, I know that is his preference. He actually does a mini bypass so it's not the same as RNY. That's what I had him do. I wanted more of a guarantee not to gain it back this time and no more surgeries. I'm doing okay, better in some areas than others. Who are you going with ?

      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.

      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!!
