Anyone having surgery in November?



Recommended Posts

Thanks. It amazes me how each surgeon has their own rules for the same surgery. Lol

I'm having my surgery at kaiser and we start with a pre op meal plan that we have to follow up until surgery. We have no liquid diet.< /p>

my surgeon also does surgeries for Kaiser in Denver. I wonder if that means there's a chance I won't have a liquid diet too? What's it like? Just super low carb and sugar free?
Here at kaiser in California, we have a 1200 calorie meal plan that's low carb and no sugar. We cannot drink Protein Shakes either

My date is November 10. I'm so excited. I can't wait to be on the other side of this! I have my pre op appointments tomorrow, and so far haven't been given a pre op diet. He told me not to gain any weight, but that's all. My brain is in weight loss mode, so I'm doing Protein shakes for Breakfast, a 300 calorie lunch and a 300 calorie dinner, at least for now. Even with that, I've only lost 1 1/2 pounds in 4 days.

Does anyone know why I wasn't given a pre surgery diet?

I am on the 10th too. Not sure why some people don't do preop. I was told to do 2 weeks. Day 3 down 11 to go. I am anxious but so excited as well. Happy to keep in touch. I am in Australia :)

Tried canned broth but it tastes greasy or fatty. It's the low fat kind. I need something not so sweet.

I feel the same. I would rather have something salty or even bland at this point.

I heard from a YouTube video that the broth tastes better if you cook actual chicken noodle Soup and then strain out the broth.

I'm having mine Tuesday, November 3rd! I'm so ready to be on the losers bench. I'm on Day 12 of my liquid diet which is all Clear Liquids and 3 Meal Replacements a day which consist of either a powdered flavored shake, powdered pudding or powdered Soup. I've lost 14 lbs so far and ready for this part to be over. I wish all of you the best of luck with your surgeries and I'll see you on the other side????????

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
