I finally got my date it's November 19th at 3:30. I go for my pre op appointment on Tuesday. I'm a mix of emotions. I am excited and ready to start this but having some anxiety about the actual surgery. This will be my first time undergoing something of this nature. I am also curious how everyone felt right after and how long before you were up and around? I have 3 kids 2 of which I homeschool my husband will be home to help out for a week but after that he goes back to work, he is an over the road truck driver so I am hoping I am doing well by then.

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.

You are so lucky that you don't have a liquid diet!!!!

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 found out this morning my surgery is scheduled for Nov 16 and pre op diet starts on Nov 6!

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!

I just got my date today! I'll be having mine on Nov. 9th!

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.

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!

My date is 11/2 , on partial liquid diet now , liquid only starting Sunday.

I'm having my surgery on Monday 11/2 also. I am on full liquids for this entire week. I'm having my lap band taken out and the sleeve done.

I just got my date today! I'll be having mine on Nov. 9th!

Yay! Congrats!!! I knew you have been waiting

Yay! You must've gotten your approval! I'm happy for you ????

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