Last steps to surgery

LauraAnne · May 3, 2016

I'm on my last few steps before my surgery is scheduled. I have about 5 more pounds to lose, and am waiting for the psychologist to fax over my psych. evaluation. It's been two weeks since. I called today to find out the holdup so hopefully I know something soon. I'm going to be having the sleeve.

I got the call today, my surgery is scheduled for June 8th! I'm so excited! Luckily I have a bunch of summer clothes to wear as my weight goes down, so this really is perfect timing!!!

Awesome! I'm scheduled for the 9th. How's the liquid diet going for you?

Hope your surgery went well. I go June 14th the liquid diet is hard trying to get my protein in and can't drink the shakes I gag every time I try to drink it. I found isopure and drink 3 of those a day at 40 grams of protein per drink. Love to hear how your surgery went.

Hi! I am scheduled for gastric bypass on June 16th, but my Dr. Only ordered me on a liquid diet for 7 days. I wonder why, as I read, it seems like the norm is 14 days.

I think it depends as I only had to do it for 24 hours
