The panic passes after the first few days. Your mental part will adjust as well. Hold on and hold strong. We are accountable now so don't give in. Once you are healed and able to eats solids just think of all the GOOD foods you can create and put in your body. This may be a challenge now but hold strong and keep on drinking liquids it keeps you full. Good luck!

I'm going in for my surgery tomorrow at 8am down in LA. Waiting now to hear from transportation to see what time they will pick me up for the 6 hour drive down. Not to worried but had to deal with a last minute break down from my mom who is really worried and thinks I'm going to die =/ I calmed her down a bit but calls me every few mins still. I wish it was closer to my home so she could visit me at the hospital.

Mine is the 4th so I'm right behind you I'm having to travel to and from it the same day 6.5 hours each way >< thats not going to be fun but Nothings going to stop me!

I highly recomend YOGA. Its slow movements that make you sweat balls. I have been doing it on thursday at work for an hour and I have become more flexable and feel really good after.

I'm on the 4th as well. Good luck to you! As to what's next after the seminars it varies from where you go. I had to do a bunch of pre op requirements and my insurance paid for the whole thing. Took 3 months total for insurance approval and requirements completed.

I'm down friend me. I would love to see everyones progress. Mine is this coming up wed. So close!

I'm finding I'm having so many stomach aches in the evening due to being hungry and take a pepsid and drink fluids but the feeling won't go way. I'm fine after my one meal at lunch but after 9 so uncomfortable. Also if I don't take a stool softner I find myself hurting out the other end the next day. Sorry for the tmi. But I guess it comes with the pre op. I'm making sure to get a bunch of veggies in me to help. Less than a week till my surgery. I can hold out but this sucks

Has anyone tired the UNJURY Chicken Soup Single-Serve Packet with 20 grams of Protein? I just order 20 of them and wanted to know if they are tasty? Any thoughts would be appreciated

Hmm let me look damn amazon is sold out. Looks like a good book

What exactly is different from regular chicken broth in flavor difference. Is it bland or have a weird smell or what?

I tried calling the pre-op diet lady and she hasn't returned my call. All last week i was snacking on veggies at night cuz i was super hungry and now kinda scared that I wont do it any more. My surgery is a week and a half away so until i hear back from her i guess i won't snack on them anymore at night and just double up on water, sugar free drinks, and thicker protein shakes with fruits. So far in that week i dropped 7lbs so hopefully I'm still on track and won't have any problems. I'm a worrier and can't get it out of my head. Arrrrg

So far my pre-op diet is going fine. Its really hard fighting temptations. My doc has me doing protein shake for breakfast, a light lunch with low fat/sugar and protein shake for dinner. I know im suppose to stick to that but at night i get a little hungry so i snake on no fat yogurt with 20g of protein with slices of mango or snack on radishes, bell peppers, tomatoes, or celery. I'm thinking they have no fat and fill me up. Is this considered cheating? Other than that im sticking to my diet and lost a few pounds. 10 more days till my surgery April 4th.

Im on day 8 of my pre-op diet. My doctor told me Protein Shake for breakfast, small low sugar/fat lunch, and protein shake for dinner. I've been getting hungry at night so eat I eat a few veggies like radishes, bellpeppers and tomatoes as a healthy snack. Im sure it wont affect my diet right? So far lost 7lbs so i think i'm doing ok for now. I have another 10 more days until my surgery. Its getting so close im so excited.

I'm april 4th too yay!

Wow Some how I was lucky enought to have my insurance pay the whole thing. The only thing is I have to go 7 hours to and from the surgery the same day but they are driving me there and back. I just don't want to be in a lot of pain for the trip home. Good luck to you!
