24 hours out! Feeling better than i did yesterday. I have only tried water and ice chips so far and they make me feel extremely full, so im scared to try more. Gas pain was what everyone said it was horrible. But walking and gas x strips seem to be doing the trick. Just waiting in the doc to come see me and I should go home today. My doc doesn't do any external kind of leak test. Is that normal?

Yeah, that sux. When I first considered WLS (it was the lapband 5 years ago) my BMI was only 35 and I was told I didn't qualify. Now I have a week until sleeve surgery and my BMI is a 48-49 :-( I tried 7 different weight loss approaches in the past 3 years and have lost some and gained back more during that time. I hope things work out for you.

Weigh to go!! Share some tips!!

Yeah, everything I'm on is liquid only. The red pepper soup is liquid only. I just hate healthwise products! I only have a little while longer before my surgery. And my doc has his pts on clears for 2 weeks, full liquids for 2-3 weeks, and pureed for 3 weeks. I'm just trying to deal with the thought of wanting different food so bad right now! I'm hoping post sleeve will be better, my stomach is growling so loud when I'm with my patients in the exam room it's embarrassing!

I pray all went well, we're all thinking about you.

I tried the hot chocolate today, it was awesome! I bought some soup from the grocery store, a roasted red pepper and tomato soup with low cal/low carb, it was pretty good. I also bought some jello and popsicles even thought my sons will probablly eat the majority of those! Only a little while longer.

Good luck with the diets and surgeries everyone! This liquid diet for pre-op is kicking my butt! Medifast products taste like dog food to me :-/

Promicin Im close to your area and will be sleeved 3/13!

Praying for you! Best wishes!

Thanks! I'm trying to make it through. This week just seems to be going so slowly!

Weigh to go!!!!

Quick and easy for me, I'd try for the baby! Good luck and God bless!
