5 Days before surgery (in Turkey)

Hi to everyone - never been part of a forum. American living in Brussels, and have found that much, good medical tourism, for my type of surgery, in Turkey. Surgery scheduled for Staurday, 11 January 2020. Seeking any last-minute advice, particularly best dietary advice that may have helped others, in the days before surgery. Doing mostly Atkins shakes, and soups. FYI - total cost of surgery and seven days in Turkey (US$4,900). Surgeon has done over 700 gastric bypass surgeries.

it is a tool and only a tool you need to get the whole workshop in order - do a search here on food plans tons of them here -

Advice: Get moving as fast as you can and do not move thru the food phases to fast, Take your time let you body heal and decide when you are ready for the next phase. The food is simple its the shakes and vitamins that are a key to get balanced. This site has all the information you need and a ton of us to support and answer questions

Thanks AJ - looks like you have achieved a lot. Your advice is well taken. I think the moral support is mostly what I need, as all of this is new (except for the longstanding frustration over multiple failed diets).

How was your experience getting bariatric surgery in Turkey? Who was your Dr and what procedure did you have?
