I am officially scheduled for gastric bypass Wednesday December 04 with George Eid at West Penn hospital. Any surgery twins?????

Hi,

Gastric sleeve scheduled for December 10, 2019. Learning everything I can beforehand to be ready for my life change. Nervous and excited at same time.

I hear you. I thought, I had researched and investigated but I have learned so much in the last year, it’s unbelievable. Surgery Dec 5th I have more water to pickup this week since my tap is definitely never on my go to list. But otherwise, I might need to order some protein but doubt it. I am prepped what should be near 6 week. Post I have 1-2 clear and 2 full followed by purée for 1-2. Because of other issues it will be more of a food trial but I will be wiser at the end.

My sleeve will be on Dec. 2nd with Dr. Shillingford in Boca Raton, FL. Getting super nervous... Good Luck everyone!

December 9th for me!

Same here!!! How are you doing on the liquid diet?

A lot better than I thought! Never a problem but come to a point over a week never hungry. Starting to dislike protein drinks, guess a couple weeks. But I have been avoiding cream of wheat oatmeal pudding and flavored tuna. Well today, gave in first time I had been hungry.Only had a bout 3 ounces. Adding collagen and protein to all my drinks and egg whites. Now pudding tuna egg whites cream o wheat and oatmeal are no no’s post op.
After Thursday, I have 4 more weeks liquid Whoopi 2 clear 2 full I am going to forget how to chew.

December 10th. I have to 2 weeks pre op diet and on day 4th. Feeling hangry.

I am December 2 at Kaiser Northern California. I thought I would have to go on a liquid diet but Kaiser doesn’t require that - they let you eat up to 8 hours prior to surgery! They said it is easier for the body to heal after surgery. Definitely thankful.

Wishing you the best ! Let us know how you go

Not quite but mine is December 10th.

I'm supposed to start my pre-op diet on 12/4, but after eating way too much on Thanksgiving, I couldn't take it anymore, and started the pre-op on Black Friday. I figure a few extra days of pre-op won't hurt, and maybe I can drop some extra weight too!

My pre-op is 3 protein shakes and a light dinner. We can substitute a lean cuisine for a traditional dinner, which I did last night!
