Anyone on there preop care to have a little support group for each other through the next few weeks?

progress starts in the mind

I'm sure glad I found this forum, it helps to have people to talk too. I go for surgery on the Jan 31, so nervous & excited at the same time.

I'm on day 11 of pre op and I have slipped twice. Once I had 3 chicken strips. And today with my husbands influence I caved and had some Mexican food. I am not blaming him but he is an obstacle for me. I still take responsibility. I just need to learn to handle the obstacles in my life (without getting rid of them altogether)

I am down 15lbs so that's great!

Right there with you. Been doing really well this week, but today has been rough. Not feeling so hot and headaches off and on. Ready to be done now. Wednesday needs to get here soon.

If your having headaches, could be the lack of sugar. My physician and the dieticians suggest when feeling low on sugar, drink 4 to 8 ounces of clear fruit (apple, cranberry or grape) juices to 4 to 8 ounces of

Water. Once or twice a day if needed,,believe me it's worked.

Day 8 good job on everyone's hard work this far... we can do it! This time next year all of us will be sitting pretty on the losers bench

Ok. Since I'm a traveling nurse and a cash pay patient, everything is going by quickly. I decided to have the surgery about 3 weeks ago, had consultation, paid money and am scheduled for next Wednesday. I'm feeling a certain way, because I'm not being told anything. I've heard about the preop diet but haven't been told to start one. Should I be concerned? What is the preop diet all about?

Our paths seem very similar! I am a dental hygienist, self-pay patient who had my first consultation on 1/2/17 and scheduled for the surgery on the 27th. Just curious where you are and how much you will be paying for your procedure. I am having mine at a surgical center and my total cost will be $12k in Utah.

I'm in New Orleans, it's about the same. I'm having it at a surgery center and the cost was about the same 11.9K. Maybe we can be sleeve buddies

On day 4 of shakes, have no energy at all. Is that normal?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What kind of shake are you having? Remember that you're able to have 1-2 cups of low sodium chicken/beef broth, sugar free jell-o, pop-cicles, low calorie drinks like Vitamin Water, Gatorade, etc. My surgeon told me to mix two scoops of Protein powder with 8 oz of almond/coconut/skim milk/ ice. (250 calorie make sure milk us unsweetened) hope this helps.

I think there're called slim time. Thanks for the info, I don't think I can do just shakes I need something extra.
