Omg just had phone call from the hospital there's been a cancellation, op date for my bypass 4th January happy Christmas to me :)
 
Never doubt yourself. We are all here doing the same thing. Many different reasons but most all we want to be healthy.
 
Hi all, I'm due to have a sleeve on 3rd jan (op cancelled for 25th nov), having it at Leicester royal infirmary by mr sutton. Started my pre op diet on 21st dec- went for another pre op assessment on Monday, and the nurse told me that the dietician has said it's ok to start the pre op diet on Boxing Day - but I have decided I am on it now so will stick with it!!! Good luck to everyone "a new year, a new you!!!! " xxx happy Christmas everyone!!!!

Sallibeth - I've got Mr Sutton too! How long were you on the waiting list til you were given your date? I got confirmation of being put on the list on Monday!
 
im starting my pre op diet in a weeks time. can anyone recomend any website with menu examples
 
I wonder why everyone has different guidelines for the pre op diet- mines 3 pints milk 4 bits of fruit a bowl of homemade soup 2 fat free yogurts and sugar free jelly.. My teeth are hungry and I'm
Only on day 2!
 
Hi, I'm a week into my 2 week pre op diet, I can have upto 1000 calories a day, very low fat and carbs, so at least I can eat proper food, but I am feeling hungry - think it's all the lovely food about at this time of the year!!!
 
This time of year doesn't help, I got my appointment 3 hours after doing my huge Xmas shop and had to start milk diet the next day. I was literally giving food parcels out to get the temptation away from me lol
 
Hi everyone I am scheduled for gastric bypass on Jan 14. It has been such a long journey but finally got a date and insurance approval for surgery. I don't seem too worried about the surgery just can't seem to stop watching the calendar. I am trying to stay focused on preparing for what to bring to the hospital, getting all the immediate foods I will need right after surgery and completing my pre op tests. I find it helpful to read other success stories and advise on what not to do.

No special pre surgery diet just no food the night before but I think I will eat light a few days before the surgery.
 
you lucky *******. ill be doing milk diet. 3 pints of milk and 2 light yogurts (4 pints of milk if i cant stomach the yogurts) also have to have 2 litres of sugar free liquids and i can have a little sugar free jelly if needs be
 
Good luck to all your ops will soon be come and gone and you can look back and smile :)

Snap. Same date as me. I'm revising from band to bypass though. Milk diet starts New Year's Day and is 4 pints of semi milk, a jelly and a bovril drink. Oh the joy!
Don't think my liver will be particularly big but I'm doing it anyway to get me in the right mindset !
