Hi Everybody, my surgery is scheduled from March 12th (after my 2nd cancellation) but no more of those, I am full speed ahead with WLS this time around. My question is, how are most of you doing with your pre-op diet? My doctor didn't really give me one except to eat balanced meals and replace 1 meal with a protein shake every day. I've started that this week. Does anyone else have any helpful hits for this surgery? Things that are working or not working for them? Lastly, anyone else scheduled for March 12th!?

Hi All,

Just received my insurance approval this morning and got a call from my surgeons office with my surgery date of March 28. I have a pre-op appointment on the 5th and I am so ready to get this done. Not too worried about the 2 week liquid diet as I have slowly been moving in this direction to get my body and mind ready. I have been lucky enough to have already lost almost 40 pounds from the start of my Nut. visits back in October and hope to be down 10 more pounds come surgery day.

This will be my first surgery so I am a bit nervous but I am super motivated.

Hello family.. I’m scheduled March 20... pre op starts March 6.., I’m so ready..
I pray for our success.. we’re so close to victory.....

My surgery is scheduled for March 20...

with family and close friends.. my 2 week pre-op starts March 6..
Only the best for all of us[emoji1431]...

Day 1 of pre-op diet: 829 calories/64 ounces of water and YES I’m hungry!

I'm on day 8 and today was the first day I felt great. Every other day was a struggle and I felt horrible. My surgery is a week from today, so I'm trying to keep my eyes on the prize. Good luck and stay strong!!

Wow you are getting close. Good luck. Day 3 on diet for me. Weekend are the hardest for me. Working out of town and get bored and want to eat.

Well, I have the flu. Like the legitimate influenza B flu. Thankfully they said I'm still good for March 5th as long as there's no pneumonia.

Hang in there, pre-op-ers. I will be right on your heels, starting Tuesday.

Hey! Got my surgery date for march 19th so excited. My pre-op diet isn't too bad I'm more concerned about the liquid diet two days before surgery.

Surgery is March 7th. Pre-op diet = clear liquids + protein shakes. On day 4/14 and down 7lbs. Not easy, but surprised I’m not complaining more about cutting out my coffee.

I'm now halfway through my 16 day pre op and finding that my moods are all over the place and I'm definitely more irritable than normal.

On my 14 day diet. My date is also March 7. So far so good

I’m scheduled for March 22nd! I start preop diet March 8th! Good luck!

I’m scheduled for March 12 and I’m beginning my 2 weeks of liquid hell tomorrow. I’m so nervous yet excited. Hoping I can hang in there

Feel better soon!
