Isopure are zero calorie protien drinks 20 oz bottle has 40g of protien. There ok but don't taste that great. But its best way to get the protien in. Ya I'm getting 1/2 drinks down, sometimes I feel the drink go all the way down. But I am doing pretty good on liquids.

im more of a side sleeper see how it goes

Last night was pretty comfortable. I had morphine pump at my disposal. I slept rather well. Today I feel pretty sore but nothing like imagined. Pain is about 4. Already went for two walks to get blood moving. Just started liquids. Nurse says one tiny cup per half hour. It's amzing but felt kind of full sensation with first cup. I should get released later today, ready to go home.ill keep everyone posted as I go.

not eating anything just liquids, water and isopure for protien. had 1oz of jello that took me an hour to eat. but suprisedly not hungry at all. right now i feel bloated. i have been walking. started walking at hospital plus walked up and down street a couple times. really sore with pain at about 6. keep you posted tomarrow on how my sleep goes tonight first night home

Ok guys I'm home now I am really sore. But not to bad, yesterday I was saying to myself this was easy. Didn't realize morphine drip was Awsome. Just feel unfortable and sore. Gave me liquid meds vividness, took some took away some pain. On the bright side I'm already down 5 pounds. Probably stomach they took out...lol. thanks for blessing ill give guys updates later tonight on this same thread.

Thanks everyone. I am off the morphine pump now and starting to feel some soreness. I am being discharged at 2 pm. I was just here overnight. Thanks again I will keep posting progress

I'm still at hospital. First of all Kaiser permente is best, couldn't have made it easier.Op went well felt extreame pain about an 8, probably not naausia then anything first 45 minutes after. Once they hooked morphine pump veena smooth sailing. Already went for two times , already took my first leak. Tomarrow start with liqueds and liquid pain meds. I Thu.k everyone is differnent because this lady that went after me, she sound like they best her with a bat. Once the give anesthesia you knock out a.d wake up in recovery. I expect it to be harder but over all I am super saftisfied.

So tomarrow is big day, Ive been pretty brave to this point cause I know this needs to be done. Earlier today i was really nervous feeling in my gut. I am sure its normal. There was no pre-op diet for me but I had my last double-double for lunch. I am so ready for tomarrow. my surgery isnt till 1pm , i wish it would have been in the AM. But its OK. This will be my last post in pre-op. I will start posting in post op after today. Wish me luck and throw a prayer my way.

I'm in my room now , I so far have had it rather easy. Pains at 5, pain pump helps. Most pain wAs first 45 after surgery, burped it all away. We'll see how goes tomarrow. So far its been pretty easy, knock on wood probate ly hunch myself. Goodnite god bless

About to leave to my surgery, i would be lieing if i said i wasnt nervous, please say prayer for myself and all other people having surgery this friday. god bless, i am posting a before pic.

today is my day also, 1mp is my surgery. Good luck and see you on loosers bench. (love that phrase)

So my journey started over ten years ago. Thats when I decided I need WLS, over the years I gained more and more wieght. Countless diets and atempts to lose wait failed. And with no means to afford WLS. I even tried to purchase Insurance to have WLS but to my surprise you cant buy Insurance if your Obese. I am a Barber by trade and one day I seen an ad for Insurance for Barbers no questions asked if you joined this association for barbers. I joined and was able to purchase Kaiser Ins. They truley are a blessing they got me on the right track. My first doctors app. was on Nov 8. 2011. I had many issues I wieghted in at 458, much to my surprise. Anyway they signed my up for options program that last 12 weeks long, taught me how to calorie count and got me on right track. I have lost 63 pounds pre-op. My surgery is scheduled for tomarrow April 20 at 1pm at Kaiser West La. I am not scared maybe a bit nervous but definatley ready. Today i have to be on a liquid diet, lucky i think because I hear the horror stories about 2 week pre-op diets. So tomarrow is my big date i am so ready to start my new life , with the instructions I have receaved and this tool I am ready to jump in head first. I will keep you all posted. I am gonna start blogging more often , because i found it very conforting to hear from other people that going threw this journey.

Thanks everyone, butterlies are kicking in now for sure. But I am so ready. Thanks agin everyone

Ok I'm having surgery on April 20, my pre-op appointment is April 18. My doctor has not put me on any pre-op liquid diet. I have lost 65 pounds preparing for sugery, i dont know if thats relevent. My question is anybody else not get liquid diet and how will this affect my surgery?

my surgery is friday 420, ive done everything they asked of me including loose my 10%. But i cant seem to kick the coffe, will this affect my surgery, Will i still want to drink it after surgery? Can i say goodbye tomarrow? One last cup wont hurt right?

IM HAVING SURGERY ON THE 20TH , NO DIET HERE EITHER JUST NO FOOD AFTER MIDNIGHT NIGHT OF SURGERY

I have lost 65 pounds pre-op, but this last week has been tough. Feels like I am breaking up with a favorite girlfriend. Glad to see her go but I am gonna miss her. Last night I had a bit of a nightmare dreaming the worst possible scenerio. Up to now really haven't been nervous but I guess I am human. Never had any doubts about surgery , but now I have a few. I know I need to do this, but can't help but be a bit scared. I guess I need a bit of reassurance, can anybody help with this? Scared that I am gonna wake up still hungry like always but not being able to eat. Will I feel differant about food? Where will I look for comfort now?

its happen to me in my left thigh, sometimes my thiegh will go numb like a burning sensation. And sometimes when i sleep my hand goes numb. Doctor says it siatic nerve from being overwieght. Since i have been getting for Sleeve i have lost 65 pounds. it hasnt been affecting my latley.

I'm going April 20 friday, not nervous but very anxious to get started on my new life. I am down 63 pounds since i started progam. Good luck to you and me

i am a barber , Ive shared my future life style change ive told everyone. i too am on the boards and all youtube videos every night. Its been a long six months for me too. I am scheduled for april 20.....cant wait and good luck with your surgery.
