omg mine starts in 5 days now and I'm freaking out lol. I'm walking around my house saying goodbye to my straws, coffee...anything else not liquid (lol). Luckily my diet is allowing me to have 4 meal-replacement shakes a day + a bariatric cuisine/dinner , so I hope it helps get me past the "omg I'm hungry" phase of the pre-op diet.

I actually have one of the easier pre op diet as well.

I know it is scary!!! We got this. Mine allows 5 shakes and crunchy veggies at night.

Mine is only 2 wks. It's a shake for breakfast, midmorning piece of fruit, protein bar for lunch, afternoon piece of fruit, 3 oz lean protein and1 cup veggies or a salad for dinner. Sugar free popsicles and jello as needed in between.

@brenda1723 be sure to let us know how both of you do with your surgeries on August 1st. Who goes first? At any rate Good Luck and Good Healing , to you , oth!???

Guys please someone remind me that a preop diet that lets you eat actual food is not I repeat is not a starvation diet I’m supposed to get 1500 calories a day and all the protein and I have the options of things like protein ice cream and I can have a single actual piece of dark chocolate. I’m exactly 5 weeks from surgery and I’m so impatient and ready

Consider this your reminder! [emoji4]

My surgery is August 31st! So scared and hope Im choosing the right surgeon and procedure. I’m a low BMI (30) with years and years of Yo-yo dieting and pre diabetes. Ive weighed as much as 229 down to 128. Its insane! Anyone going to Dr. Ponce at INT around the end of august first of September? My pre op diet is yogurt and water for 3 days. Does that sound normal?

Oh my goodness it's so close. Tuesday is my pre surgery appt. Wednesday I have a class, Friday is my last dayf work. The 6th I meet with the anesthesiologist and the 8th is the day. I can't believe it's almost here!

I'm having Roux-en-Y gastric bypass on August 11th

I started my journey the last week in may/2018 saw the surgeon & bariatric coordinator June 1st at that time I gave them a date of 8/6. Friday I was placed on the surgery schedule. I am having the sleeve done and I am overly excited!

Hiya, newbie to the forum here.

My surgery date is 29 Aug. It's been a long time coming with plenty of sitting in the unknown waiting to receive the surgery date (which I almost didn't pick the call up for due to it being an 'unknown' ID. Oops ).

I'm going from lapband to bypass. They're doing so many things at once (band removal, gallbladder removal, bypass etc) I've just referred to the whole thing as "rearranging my digestive system".

I can't say I feel 'ready' whatsoever and feel rather disorganised with things. I'm hoping the closer to my surgery date the more settled I feel. I started the pre-op diet today which, while isn't the first time doing it, it's still an adjustment having to get everything in (since it seems to take me a good hour to drink one shake). Hopefully this gets better as time goes on.
