Thanks for answering my questions. I have tried two different protein drinks and can’t do it, but I will try other ones before I give up on that. My surgeon told me to start losing weight but did not put me on a restricted diet before surgery. I have on my own (the last four days) put myself on a liquid diet. I thought it would be easier on my system if I got started early. I have a concern with IBS. I am hoping that this surgery helps me with that as well as losing weight. (My doc says it won’t but I am still hoping) My doctor was very good and went over a lot of things but I did not know what to ask until I starting reading this forum. Hope these questions are not too silly Will the connection for refills stick out? Do they have to cut you again when they refill? How soon is a refill? How long after surgery can you have sex? I did not know that I would be restricted on driving. How long? Well this is for a start I am sure I will have many more after tomorrow. Hope you are feeling good and thanks again. Lassie

Tomorrow is my day May 24th; I am scared and nervous just like most of you were. I keep taking deep breaths and tell myself it will be ok.. I have only told two people what I am doing and feel a little deceitful,not sure how to handle this. Can you tell me if you have to strain the cream soup before eating them? I also tried the protein drinks and gag so I hope I can eat something else. Have tons of questions but do not want to take up to much of your time. I bet I could find the answers if I look around the web site. Thanks and good luck to all the May banders. Lassie

I started this process Last May and almost gave up on the insurance company. I hung in and now I am having my surgery next week. It took a full year and I am 64. Looking forward to a new beginning. Hang in there and it will happen.

thank you Jen that was great

My surgery is next week on the 24th May. I Need to go to the store and get stocked up on foods ( drinks I can use) would love ideas on the best ones to get and what protien drinks taste good, thanks in advance for all you help. I have not been on a liquid diet before, my doctor did not start me on one before surgery. Lassie

I am to new to answer that question but my doc is keeping me on it for two weeks.

would like to know if anyone has IBS and has had the surgery if there was an improvment with this concern
