    As far as getting ready: I've got a binder my doctor gave to me. It has basically all the information that I should need going forward. I do look at it periodically to refresh my memory about what is

    Meh… It’s ok. Now that I have a date scheduled I’m really buckling down on everything to make sure the transition before and after surgery goes well. I’m trying to chart everything to keep track of th

I’m getting surgery the 8th.

The dr is planning on doing a sleeve but when they insert the scope for the endoscopy if my esophagus has gotten worse from my gerd he will preform the bypass. I won’t know until I wake up which surgery I got.

I’m scheduled for 7/11.

Me too! I'm on day 5 of pre-op diet and already so tired of "sweet" stuff from the protein drinks and SF jello.

My surgery is Friday July 13th. I’m having the sleeve. I started the liver shrinking diet June 28th Today is Day 5. I have been so exhausted the past two days and only want to nap. Anyone else feel tired?

God yes.. Day 7 on the shakes and I am emotionally and physically drained. My surgery is on the 17th of July. We're getting there!!

Just joined today. My surgery is scheduled for Jul10/24. I am on week 2 of the liquid diet stage. 1 week to go! ?

July 11th here.
This is a revision. I had sleeve done in 2014 and immediately knew it wouldn’t be a long term solve. I eat very little anyway and needed something that was more malabsorptive.
We are doing Duodenal Switch. ??
Current weight is 241. I start full liquid on 7/9 but currently on high protein, low fat regimen.
Excited to actually start this journey with a procedure I felt like I should’ve had done the first time. ??

Hello new here! Mines scheduled for 7/15/24. I been having a little hard time with the pre op diet.

It's not the easiest for sure. I'm 4 days to surgery and have been on the pre op diet for 17 days. The broth was the only savior for me. I couldn't stand normal broth, I ended up having to buy low sodium lipton chicken noodle soup and drained the noodles. That and sugarfree banana popsicles saved me. You got this!!
