I’m curious… how/when did you guys get your surgery dates? I’ve been really hoping to have surgery in June because school will be out, but I’m not sure what to expect.

I’m self pay, in Virginia, and my doctors office wants me to complete 3 diet visits (my last is in May) What should I expect next? I was hoping then I would move straight into the pre op diet phase and get a surgery date.

I am in Ohio and insurance pay. I was given my surgery date once all my insurance and surgeon requirements were met. I was given a surgery date prior to final insurance approval. Just gets me scheduled on the books I guess

Just finished pre-anesthesia testing. Blood was drawn, extensive confirmation of meds, instructions, etc.
it all tended to put me at ease and begin to be excited about all of this again.
Kudos to Wake Med in Cary, NC. I have been incredibly favorably impressed with every aspect of their approach and handling of my procedure.

I'm really struggling with this pre op diet. A couple of times I thought about calling it off and talked myself out of it. But I know I really need this lifestyle change. Any suggestions on how to distract me. Because now I keep thinking about all this food I can't eat anymore like seafood

What is your preop diet like?

I am on a 3wk pre opl. Protein Shakes for Breakfast & lunch

1st snack is 2 boiled eggs or 2oz lean meat or 2oz lowfat 2% cheese.

2nd snack is 1 serving non-starchy veggie and 1 serving healthy fat

dinner is 3-4oz Protein, 1 serving non-starchy veggie and 1 serving healthy fat. I am averaging around 900 calories high protein low fat, low carbs. I have a meal or snack every 2-3hrs and that seems to stop hunger. The day before surgery I am on pure liquids.

As far as cravings, it gets easier the further along you are in the process. I wont lie the first few days I cried cause my addiction is real and facing it isn't fun. Never say never again to seafood. Eventually you will be able to have healthier versions and smaller portions of them.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
