Looking for pre-surgery preparation suggestions

Get into a fitness routine, even if it's just taking a walk a few times a week
If you are a coffee/soda drinker might as well get that out of the way now
Try your best to loosen up your schedule for the couple weeks leading up to your surgery, if your Surgeon has you do the two-week liquid diet you are going to be MISERABLE so will want plenty of time to yourself
Hope that helps, best of luck!0 -

All of the above suggestions are all really great. One thing I did was buy baby plates with the three sections. A saucer will work but i thought the 3 sections were good especially when you are on pureed foods so things don't run together. Also when you are weighing and measuring. I got a digital scale, and one mind trick is to weigh in grams instead of ounces. It looks like you are getting more in grams. Good luck to you!0

I am so glad to see all these tips, I should be getting my surgery date very soon and I just wasn't sure how to prepare for life post-surgery! Thanks everyone!0

These are all absolutely the best suggestions that I wish I knew BEFORE :mad: my surgery. The only thing I was told was to chew slowly. I had a really rough few months. Thanks to all the wonderful people on MFP, I have learned how to live well with RNY. For anyone contemplating WLS, copy and paste these suggestions and live by them!
Best wishes!0 -
