I started my program in February and I’m finally scheduled for gastric bypass surgery on July 6th!! I am so beyond excited, nervous and just feeling all the things right now. Let’s chat about our upcoming surgeries!

my husband and i started this journey together Fall 2021, and we are tentatively scheduled for July 18. Very excited! Our adult twins will be coming to help us post-op.

I have gathered pre-op liquid diet items already. I like to be prepared

Good luck to you Edmira!!

There is another thread for July also, but I wanted to comment on this one because my surgery is also July 6th! We are surgery buddies!!

Best of luck to you!

What’s your program require for pre-op diet?

So ... 4 protein shakes a day for 14 days. First 12 days I can have half an avocado a day and unlimited non-starchy vegetables. The last 2 days, is strict shakes only.

I honestly think I'm just going to do shakes only all the way through. Or at least the last week. I honestly haven't decided. I don't have to start it until the 22nd so I'm still tossing it around in the brain.

Pre surgery. I have a variety, but it's all liquid. No solids.for 2 weeks.

Mine is close to yours but for 1 week only. 5 days protein shakes non-starchy veg and lean protein for 1 meal a day. Day 6 only shakes. Day 7 only clear liquids. I’m so excited and a little anxious. I can’t believe it’s almost go time!!

I gotta hand it to you and others that have the 2 week pre-op with only liquid. High five to you!

I had a voicemail this morning from my team that the insurance approval came in. So it's official. My date is no longer tentative and we are all aboard. Terrified. Completely terrified. lol.

This is my first post. I am scheduled for July 22nd. Still waiting for insurance approval. Researching all of my vitamin options now. I have two week pre-op of 4 protein shakes plus any other liquid/broth and one protein bar. I am excited and nervous at the same time.
