No problem - we need each other for sure! My dietitian will video call me on August 19th to go over my pre-op diet. Due to my weight, it will only be 1 week. I'm so excited! I have my anesthesia assessment appointment August 13th at the hospital I will be having surgery. So - I'm almost there!! I will be taking 3 weeks off, returning after my follow-up with surgeon 9/18. EXCITED!


That's great, your covered from every angle and ready to go. What does the preop diet consist of? Is it liquids? I didnt have to do a preop diet but in a way I wish I did. I feel like it's good prep to what you will have to do after. X

4 days full liquids & 3 days Clear Liquids before surgery. She advised me to have a journal before our video conference so I can start accounting for what goes in my mouth. My daughter pulled a nice monthly schedule off internet and I made a nice note book (attached).

She almost started me on my Vitamins over a month ago so I can get adjusted to taking them timely with my work schedule - 4am, 8:00am, 12:30pm(after lunch) and last one before bed. I've been taking the Biotin capsules for 3 months to get them in my system but will switch over to the biotin melts after surgery to get a headstart from Hair loss. I take these before I leave work so they aren't close to my last Vitamin intake. Just being proactive before surgery!

My surgeon only required the clear liquid diet 2 days before surgery. I’m supposed other people are doing it for so long. My surgery date is August 20th!

My Pre-Op appt is Wed. So I imagine that's when I'll have to start my liquid for the 19. that would only be 4 days for me.

My doc required 3 weeks high protein/very low carb diet, then clear liquids only the day before surgery. My surgery time tomorrow isn’t until 1 pm. I can continue with clears until 9 am tomorrow.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
