good morning! no i was lucky i guess, my doctor didn't feel it necessary to do a pre op diet. it's going to be hard, but if you can do the 2 shakes and a regular meal without snacking you should be ok. think about it as just another diet . the over eating thing, i think, is cause we know we're getting this surgery so it's the "last eating thing". i know for myself before the surgery, whenever i'd try yet another diet, i'd eat myself in oblivion the day before why, because it was my last day for "freedom". try not to sabatoge yourself, what if your blood pressure, sugars, or something goes wrong because of the overeating and your surgery is canceled because of it just take it easy, go for a walk or something instead of eating. and really important stop the night eating! That will sabatoge you even with the surgery good luck!
Thanks for checking on me! Unfortunately, no date yet. I am hopeful that I will know something later this week......I seem to be out of control on my eating these days. Worse than usual. Not sure what that is all about....need to reign myself in. Did you have a preop diet? Any trouble staying on track? I wonder if I'll even be able to do my 2 week preop diet (clear liquids and 1 yogurt a day). Thanks for listening to me ramble. Stay in touch.
Hi! I am from San Antonio and I am looking for a recommendation for a sleeve doctor here? How was your experience? Are you willing to share your doctor's name? Thanks for any info you can provide.
Hi sweetie! Well i'm glad the exlax got you going, Miralax is good too, you can mix it with anything and can't taste it at all. i really like it. those irratating foamie/slimes are because you ate too fast and didn't chew good enough. i get that a lot. but 48 years of bad habits are hard to die. I have to literally time myself at each meal. chew well, swallow, then wait 2 minutes, another bite, and so on for about 30 minutes, stop eating, put away the left overs for the next meal. we'll get it. i had some chocolate today, tummy didn't like it much. amazing how this surgery has altered some things i used to love. can't eat beef or tougher meats either. no pancakes, bread, spaghetti, rice, noodles, etc. only fish, soft chicken, eggs, melba toast (go figure) jellos, popsicles, etc. love grape flavored (sugarfree) water! just like a kid! tummy doesn't like veggies, slimes it up nasty! hehehe. i'm glad we're friends and can relate to things! chat soon again! take care!
OMG!! hope you ok. I am doing fine, my dizzy spells were down to Labrynthitus swelling in the inner ear, nothing to do with surgery at all, but they can't treat it as all the meds upset the stomach (typical) I was having trouble on the ole poop front myself, got some exlax chocolate and that seems to sort me out. The doc has sent me for bloods just to make sure there isn't anything more sinister going on, but other than that it is all good. Had a bit of a slimes/foamies then full on puking stage yesterday but that seems to have passed. Don't know whether it was a food intolerance, ate too quickly or too much...do you know the difference, didn't seem like I had eaten too much though lol.
