@MaddiesMomma @Feelinghopefulnow How exciting to have TWO surgery sisters! Although I'm only required to do 1 week low fat prior to surgery, I'm opting for 2 weeks to support my daughter who is getting sleeved next week. Next week I'll make sure to do even better than this week and then I have only 3 days of full liquids before surgery, not bad. I'm much more chatty on Facebook than here. If you prefer to keep in touch that way just send me a pm so we can link up!

Have a wonderful day ladies!!!!!

Its lovely to have someone with same day surgeries @alchaley @MaddiesMommawe'll be a support to each other im sure.

You have your daughter to support also so You can be there for each other.

How did you find the sleeve the first time around @alchaley

Went to the pre op meeting yesterday, wow was I overwhelmed, it was very informative but so much information. They are having us all start our diet today, two protein drinks and 1 meal with 4oz of protein and 1/2 cup of veggies. We also had to start on cq10, they’re horrible chewable vitamins and benefiber. I’m so hungry and can’t wait until dinner for my chicken lol. I hope it gets better in the next couple days

I am very jealous, when I start my pre op Monday it is 4 shakes and 2 bars and up to 3 sugar free jello or popsicles and broth and other liquids to reach the 64oz and that is it:( no real food because I wouldn’t consider those bars real food.. They are awful:( ?

What is the mini gastric bypass? I’m having gastric bypass next Tuesday. Starting weight 235

That’s how those vitamins are hubby said oh they can’t be that bad, he tasted one and coughed and gagged for a minute lol. We can have broth and the sugar free jello and popsicles in between as well. We start in puréed food when we get home from hospital and stay on that for 1 month.

My surgeon only required the day before surgery to be liquid diet. Other than that he just instructed not to gain weight

You get pureed food right after? You are so lucky:)

My Dr's schedule for his patients is:

Days 1-14 Clear liquids

Days 15-21 Full liquids and Protein supplements

Day 22 you get clearance for mushy foods:)

The mushy food is for 6 weeks:(

That stinks, and yes that was one thing I was happy about.

April 3rd right here!
