Does anyone know if she has her patients do a 2 week liquid diet? They haven't told me yet and I was just wondering.

Also i have to lose 20lbs in order to have it done lap. do you know if it is alot harder on you to have it done open??? I am so excited, can't wait till I get on the losers side with everyone.

thanks so much,
betty

My surgery was "open" so I'm not sure if she requires something different for lap. Here's what I had to do and what I ate..
Day before surgery:
Normal breakfast - so I had steak and eggs
Soft lunch - KFC Mashed Potatoes (lots of them) lol
Clear liquid supper - Jello and chicken broth

I didn't have really any issues with having it open. Sure I was sore, but it was all good :)

Hope this helps! Go luck... you're gonna love your DS!

My DS! I've lost 275 lbs so far!!

I just had my DS on March 24. She did not put me on 2 week liquid diet. I did have to do something the day before surgery. Breakfast I ate anything I wanted. Lunch was soft food. Then liquids for dinner. My DS was open. Sure it was painful. I'm almost 3 weeks out and dont really have any pain. I still cant sleep on my stomach. She did my surgery on my 22 Birthday! I wish I could have it lap but my BMI is to high for lap.

On the journey to losing weight, your friends & family will be the first people to try to knock you off. They do this not out spite, but out of being convicted and knowing they should do the same. It's easier to put someone down for doing the right thing, than for them to actually do it. So at your next family re-union or wherever you are eat your chicken and broccoli and smile when they make jokes about you, they are jealous!

I had my surgery in July 2005. Day before I had a regular breakfast then the rest of the day full liquids. It wasn't bad. Then afterwards I was on a liquid diet for 3 weeks. But I had problems. She said usually you have soft foods (mashed potatoes, etc) immediately after surgery.

Good luck and God bless!

Can't believe I don't have to do the 2 week diet, but I do need to lose 20lbs so I can have it lap. I'm going to try a liquid diet (hope I can stick to it) to lose the 20lbs, but If I don't I won't stress over it . It'll just be open, I hear its not so bad.

Betty-

Dr. Inhman is very skilled at open and lap nprocedures, but -and this is my own logic and opinion- I had an open DS, and though it took a while to be able to get up without feeling like I was going to rip something, I would have it open again. Here's why: I like that the surgeon has more room to operate, and, - again my own logic- can more clearly see the structures.

Thanks Jazzbabe , that was my thinking also. More room would be better but I'm sure either is
good with a Dr like Dr Inman.
