FireEMT710, hey surgery buddy! Welcome! How are you prepping? How’s your experience thus far?

Right now, nothing really. I've bought some shakes and Protein Bars. sugar free Jello and pudding. I don't start my preop diet until monday, and this weekend the kids and i are running away for the weekend, and I plan on relaxing and not worrrying about it! My doctor has you do Protein Shakes for week one, and one small meal, staying under 800 calories and like 70g of Protein. then week 2 right before surgery is all liquid.

Hi Everyone! I am scheduled November 12th for gastric sleeve surgery. I am on mostly liquids and low carb foods if I choose. Does anyone else follow a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle? The doctors and dietitians keep having me think that it's going to be nearly impossible to do.

I mostly eat that way. The problem after surgery is so little food. It makes it hard to get the Protein grams in a few tablespoons of food. I’ve always preferred to eat at least vegetarian. I’m not sure how to handle this. I’ve bought plant protein non flavored powder supplement, hoping this will work. I think vegetarian would be easy with eggs and dairy to increase protein. I don’t do well with dairy... but there are so many dairy alternatives now. What I’ve found is they have higher carbs/sugar or fat to “fix” the flavor. Bottom line, I totally support any healthy eating that works for you. Let us know how to support you! You got this!!

My surgery is scheduled for November 25th....having SO MUCH anxiety about the possibility of it being canceled because of the covid madness. Can’t even think about normal surgery stuff because I’m so stressed about it possibly getting canceled 😭 I’m a week into my Optifast....one more week to go!

How was it? Mine is in 2 days. How long did you stay at hospital? How was the pain after surgery?

Hey, surgery twin! I feel your pain. I just had my preop with my surgeon and we've only got one week of this diet left. It's a scary thing, but you're not alone. And the day before Thanksgiving, no less.

November surgery pals, we've got this 😊

Hello all,

I had RNY on 11/11. Went well. I was surprised at how little pain I had (and I’m a baby). I stopped pain meds the next day. Still on Clear Liquids and I cannot eat another bite of Jello again. EVER.

Heads up - they are canceling WLS surgeries in the Minneapolis area starting this week. I just made it. Hoping you all can get your surgeries done before they stop!

Hey everyone I’m currently recovering in the hospital from bypass this morning. Not nearly as bad as I was expecting. Actually the hernia repair & surgical gas hurt more then anything else. No vomiting, tolerating Water & Protein Shakes and walking unassisted. For anyone nervous about the process, I’m here to say I’m on the other side and it’s already worth it. Good luck to everyone!!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).

      Just wondering if any of the Type 2 Diabetics also have there blood glucose go high when having only a Premier Protein drink for breakfast?  How does Premier Protein compare to BOOST Glucose Control in your experience?
