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'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>

I just got my Bariatric pal powdered Soup variety pack that I ordered online. Not yet brave enough to try. I got peppermint B 12 and so much better than the cherry flavor! I got orange chewable Multivitamin from Bariatric Advantage and it is really nasty. Starting to lose hope of a Multivitamin I can stand:(

Have you tried the Bariatric fusion Multivitamin Soft chews? They are delicious and sugar free. I have tried about every Vitamin there is and these are the best tasting. I'll post a pic of what I am using
. I read some reviews about Bariatric fusion that were pretty negative, stating that does not have complete Vitamin amounts etc. I have been wanting to ask my doctors opinion .

I compared them to Bariatric Advantage, they are the same amounts of nutrients. The soft chews you will need 3 chews twice daily. Bariatric Advantage, you use 2 tablets per day.

I would rather have good tasting Vitamins twice a day , versus chalky bad after taste like the BA chewables. I will be more compliant if the taste is good.

I will definitely ask my doctor about Bariatric fusion. I agree that something has to taste good for compliance. I will probably order some and check it out. Thanks for the tip!

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?

My pre op diet is soft foods- cottage cheese, creamy Soup, shakes, yogurt, etc. Basically all the soft foods you can have in those first 2 weeks after surgery.

Congrats on your date!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
