Pre-Op Yesterday

Jun 04, 2013

I attended Pre-op class on yesterday then went over to the hospital for labs and to meet with the anesthesiologist. I do not have to do a pre-op diet, only a liquid diet the day before surgery. My surgeon allows sleeve and band patients to go home the same day unless of course there are complications. Gastric Bypass patients stay one to two nights. I will be on clear liquids while at hospital.

Once home I start full liquids for 1 week (3 or 4 shake meals and 2 liquid snacks such as light yogurt, SF pudding or jello or clear broths). Weeks 2, 3 and 4 are soft foods. Week 5 I can begin to introduce solid foods. Vitamins will include Multivitamin, Calcium, Sublingual B12 and Iron tablets.

I can't believe how close my date is. I must be at the hospital at 7am for a 9am surgery time. Hoping and praying that my iron levels are still good. Take care!
