Had my first appointment...
I had my first appointment today with the nutritionist and psych. They went great. I got all my appointments scheduled throughout Sept 4- that is when I will schedule with the surgeon for the pre-op. It sounds like end of Sept if everything goes as planned. I get my labs done next Monday. I am so psyched- but nervous. Did any of you do any certain type of eating plan before surgery? I need to drop 15 lbs. before surgery. My nutritionist recommended the DASH DIET due to my hypertention (and swelling of my feet/hands). I bought the book and getting ready to read through it.

Wooohooo!
I did the liquid Optifast diet for 3 weeks pre-surgery. Yes, 4 shakes per day. I added broth or sf jello, plus a minimum of 2 litres or 64 oz of sf and caffeine free drinks.
Never heard of the DASH diet, maybe you could explain a bit of it once you become familiar with it.
Good luck!
