Sept date I am all set

[pindoctor 49]

I am scheduled for Sept 2 and am on the 7th day of 14 day liquid diet. The first few days were really hard but it's getting easier. My major concern is that my surgery is scheduled 1 week from tomorrow and I still do not have an answer from my insurance company! Arrgh!

[notforthefaint 264]

I don't have an answer yet either, I am scheduled for the 3rd. I am trying not to flip out.

Yes! Me. Sept 15th. Kind of petrified! Worried about complications. Are you off caffeine, carbonation, and sugar?

Hello all,

I wonder why on earth are you all on liquid diets before operation. I did my operation 2 weeks ago, and before my operation I had a high Protein low carb meals, chicken and meet with salads with no limitation on quantity.

Hi there,

It depends on your weight and your preference, I prefer Sleeve cause it has less Dumping Syndrome, which is more common in the Bypass.

Different doctors have different requirements for pre op. And mine has different requirements based on your BMI. I am on liquids for 2 weeks and Clear Liquids the day before. The objective is to shrink my liver.

Dear Scout,

I had a BMI of 44

The shrinkage is done from the reduction of carbohydrates, you are definitely taking Protein shakes right? Instead of the Protein Shakes, have a steak with salad or chicken breast. To stop eating 2 weeks before the operation is psychologically stressful, especially for the people who love to eat. Some of my friend were eating everything until the last day before their operation, and now after the operation, they had wonderful results.

[Scout2014 24]

Yes. Protein Shakes 3 times a day and all the clear liquids I can stand. I start tomorrow and feel confident about success with it.
