Anybody not doing a pre up diet? I barely qualify and my surgeon does. Not feel my liver size will be an issue. I am 5ft 5in and 243lbs

Oh and my date is June 9th!transformationtuesday

I'm June 10th and I am nor doing Protein Shakes pre-op. I've been doing 3 oz Protein, Vegi's, and a starch for the past 5 weeks. I've lost 20 lbs so far. I have Kaiser insurance and they don't do protein shakes even post-op. It's Clear Liquids for 3 days, then blended soft foods for a week, then slowly adding textured foods. This sounds way different from what other doctors and insurance require. Does anyone else have Kaiser with a different food plan?

Hi all, I don't post much but I read occasionally. I got my surgery date this week and I'm scheduled for June 22nd at Methodist Dallas with Dr. Malladi

And looking at my signature, I need to update it. I'm a failed lap bander. Mine slipped above my diaphragm and caused a hiatial hernia which was repaired and band removed in 2012

Another sleeve sister! i'm June 23rd. Do we have the same dad? My dad wanted me to lose wieght and I only see him every two years or so he lives on the west coast. I don't think I can tell him either. It would be hard to explain to him. His way of telling me to lose weight was to not eat american food only korean food.< /p>

I'm June 24th. My preop diet isn't too bad. It says "a high Protein, low carbohydrate diet, consuming no more than 1000 calories per day." I'm allowed to even use Lean Cuisines and stuff! I only have to start liquids at 3pm the day before surgery. :)

I'm getting really excited! I've told my husband, my mom, and a few friends. I don't think I'll ever tell my dad. He's so judgmental.

My dad's west coast too, and with it kind of the "hippie" fear of regular doctors and western medicine. It's really annoying. I'm bipolar and he likes to tell me I don't need my meds. (I've tried that, it lands me in the hospital repeatedly.)

So Hi, sleeve sister! :)

I don't have Kaiser, but I have a similar post care food plan.

Day 1-3 clear liquids only

Day 4-14 Full liquid diet, which strangely includes things like yogurt and string cheese. (Those are liquid? )

Day 15-4 weeks Soft food diet, everything should be moist. Including cooked veggies, deli meats, canned chicken or turkey.

Weeks 5-12 is protein first, then vegetable. 70% protein, 30% veggie.

And mine says "do not use protein supplement shakes unless recommended by your surgeon. Dietiicians and trainers are not your surgeon!"

So sounds like we have a similar post op diet?

No pre-op diet here, except for the day before surgery. I'm very happy about that.

I'm not required to do a pre-op but I will at least do a 3 day liquid diet prior to my surgery on the 16th.

I'm 5ft. And 203 lbs.

      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!!
