Pre-Surgery Bucket List

[ShoppGirl 3,443]

I am three years post sleeve contemplating revision surgery and I am trying not to do food funerals this time. I still don’t have a surgery date though so let’s see how I feel as I count down the days. . I am thinking I am going to have the SADI so I really May have stuff I can never tolerate Again. Now I’m thinking…maybe just one last meal, lol. But if you are like me and carbs make you crave carbs maybe stop these a few days before your scheduled to start the pre op. Otherwise the preop will seen that much harder. Just FYI also, With the sleeve I was able to tolerate anything post surgery and I’ve heard the same from a lot of people who have had bypass (although they can sometimes only have very small amounts of certain things).

After reading everyone's comments I have decided not to go too mad with it haha. I will be mildly restrained!

I think the LRD is going to be helpful in weaning me off of sugar and other things that I tend to binge on, so I am just preparing for that!

What is LRD? I do not “binge” per say but I do tend to eat because of emotions and it’s always bad choices and more fhan I should eat is LRD a type of surgery or a Medication or something else?

LRD is the liver reduction diet that most people are required to go on before surgery

Ooh okay. I just never heard the acronym. Yea. If the carbs make you crave more carbs but you can do a diet once you get going (until you’re tempted with something or you have a stressful day or whatever) then try what I did. I just ate healthier the couple days before. Basically lower carb but as much of it as I wanted so I wasn’t hungry. Then, MY preop diet wasn’t bad at all. I’m all fairness, though, I was allowed one low carb meal a day so mine was a little easier than some. (I’m not sure if this was because I started at a lower BMI or just because my doctor has a different plan).
