Surgery FINALLY scheduled



Recommended Posts

I finally got approval and my surgery date. It is October 3rd. Will start pre op diet (any tips greatly appreciated) Sept 23rd after pre op visit. I am so excited but nervous. My brother just had it done in June and he has lost 40 lbs. Any of you have any regrets? I am a nurse myself and we are the worst patients. LOL... Anyway wish me luck!

Hi there, I just got approved as well, my surgery is October 18th. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. I actually think I'm the most nervous about the pre-op liquid diet. Is there any good advice or tips that you've heard?

Thanks and good luck.

Not really, my dr requires full liquid for 10days. Meaning clear broth, sugar free Popsicles, sugar free Jello, and the Bariatric shakes that you buy from them. I'm just gonna suck it up for 10 days. I have eaten what I wanted for 43 years and what is 10 days. They say it is rough, but I know I can overcome this and you can too! Good Luck!!!

You have a very good point, only it's been 53 years for me. You are right, I can certainly do this, and I will.

I appreciate the support.

It's not easy. When I had the band I cheated throughout the two week liquid diet phase. Now with me getting a revision and getting sleeved, I'm taking it so much more serious this go round. My liquids start on 10/12 and I'm going shopping this weekend to get a variety of things ( in compliance) so that I don't get bored. We can do this! It's not fun and I'll be whining in a few weeks but remind me of what I said, ok? Lol!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
