Mine said to work up to 64 oz. Not sure if I should count the liquid in my shakes and broth but 64 oz seems like a LOT.

I'm glad to hear your surgery went smoothly and you are resting comfortably. Don't forget to walk-I had horrible gas pains and walking was the only thing that provided any relief (that and gas-x)

Hi all! Today is surgery day-i'm signed in just in the lobby waiting to be called back. Not too nervous just ready to get this show on the road!

I am so sorry that you are having such a hard time! I can't even imagine. How did you get the hematoma? Hopefully it will be smooth sailing from here on out. So scary!

So happy for you! Good luck!!

Why don't you try a new protein powder? My favorite is Jay Robb Egg White Chocolate. This stuff is awesome! Absolutely no aftertaste! My favorite shake is 1 scoop protein powder, skim milk, a bit of instant decaf coffee, a squirt of smuckers caramel sauce, and a few ice cubes...better than Starbucks!!

I'm curious-how many of you were told that you could have a 'last supper'? My doc said to go for it. He told me I could eat ANYTHING I wanted, but nothing after midnight. I ate a bunch of cr*p and now I feel so gross! I wish I would have stuck to my liquid diet.

Got my popsicles! Soups, sugar free caramel, protein shots, protein jello, more protein powder, gatorade, carrot juice, instant decaf coffee, tea, gas-x, fiber gummies, and antacid. I know there's more (almost had a heart attack when I saw the total). I think I'm prepared! Can't wait to swap stories!!

YES! Had my pre-op appt this afternoon and I am first on the list in the morning!! I have to be there by 6am! I am hoping I can trust my 3 boys to get ready and off to school on time. I think I am more nervous about that than I am about the surgery itself.

Lisa-I am so happy everything went well-I am so happy for you!! My surgery is tomorrow & I am running last minute errands so I can stock the fridge/pantry with goodies for when I return. Also have about 6 loads of laundry to do-not sure when I'll feel up to doing it again.

Hey all! I would love to be included in this group! I will be banded on April 18th and live in Frisco but could meet just about anywhere. tjohnson034@gmail.com

This soup sounds so good! Is it OK for phase 1? I am wondering if my doc would be ok with cream based soups -Thoughts?

Congrats Dr. Dude! I have my pre-op tomorrow and surgery on Wednesday-can't wait to be in your shoes and have the surgery behind me!!

Hey guys! Thanks so much for your advise and words of encouragement. Today is a new day. Today I make the right choices. Today is all about ME!!
