That sounds about right... I met with the nutritionist about 2 weeks before my surgery. They are the ones that start you on your pre-op diet or let you know when to start it. I also saw my Dr. about a week after that. Right now I am 5 days out to my surgery.
Yes they have nutritionist that I am seeing next week. It just seems so odd to me that they haven't really told me anything that I need to do other than when I first went for the initial consult and seminar about the options.. Since then it has been worrying about insurance approvals and pre-op tests nothing else. They called said everything was good Surgery on the 26th and pre-op class the 12th nothing more
Pre-op diets vary from surgeon to surgeon. You should call your surgeon for instructions. You also need post-op instructions, so you know what to eat when you come home from the hospital. Does your surgery center have dieticians?

I am 20 days out till surgery and I am seeing all these things about last minute required weight loss and my doctor hasn't said anything about it.. I just feel so out of loop with my doctor and surgery center.. At this time they have not said anything about a pre-op diet or anything.. Should I be worried
Good job on losing your weight! I am in week two of my preop diet and I am stuck at 9 pounds lost. My surgeon asked me to lose 20 in the two weeks. Seeing that weigh in is on Friday and surgery is Monday, I don't think I'll meet my goal. Which really sucks because I've lost a decent amount since my consult.
Anyway, good luck Monday!!
Highest weight: 296- Consult weight: 292- Surgeons goal: 167- My goal: 145 Hight 5'5. Had RNY on 8/11/14
Hi - I am scheduled for VSG on August 18th and just started my pre-op diet today. Having a pretty good day so far but getting a caffeine headache this afternoon. I would love to have a buddy to follow in this process and welcome anyone interested.
Good luck! I'm a week after you on the 11th. Meet you on the loser's bench!
Next Monday I will be having my surgery! I've been on the liquid diet for 16 days now and I'm sure I lost the 25 pounds I was supposed to lose. I'm still concerned about the possibility of having a feeding tube but I'm sure they will do what is best for me. I'm very excited to have this opportunity to get my surgery done! I am determined to make the best of it. Here's to a healthier, smaller me!
At this time my doctor hasn't given my a pre-op diet.. I am so nervous.. I go on Aug for my pre-op class which maybe they will tell me then what I need to do cause at times I just feel so lost and nervous.
Yay Karen! I'm so glad you got your date. Congratulations!
