Thanks so much. I feel much more relieved knowing this was normal. I was going to call the doctor but I didn't want to sound like a lunatic if this was common. Thanks again!

Your so lucky that you can start full liquids and proceed to mushies so quickly. I have a few more days of clear liquids and frankly I feel naseous from it. I actually added some milk and cool whip today because I just couldn't take it anymore. Not hungry as much as I felt a little dizzy and I am just sick of the idea of broth and isopure. ugh! Let me know how mushies go.

I am in the exact same boat as you Berry. I had surgery on Tuesday and am sort of nervous to take them off. I am going to try today because I figure it breeds infections if they get too old. Good luck to you!

I was told that I have to take a pre-op quiz with Dr. Flock. Does anyone know what kinds of questions will be on this quiz? If i don't pass it they will postpone my surgery on March 20th. Please let me know if you have any feedback.:help:

I just wanted to check in with everyone and see if they went through what I am going through today. I had my pre-op appointment with my doctor this afternoon and I also went to a visit with the bariatric psychologist who did my psych eval. I burst out hysterically crying at both appointments. I am excited but honestly mostly I am depressed and feeling like I am mourning the loss of my old life and what I will be giving up instead of what I will be gaining. The emotions come over me like waves. Though I have moments of excitement and anticipation mostly I just want to keep crying. Surely this can't be normal...

My date is set for March 20th. I took the quiz today and your right, it was a piece of cake (no pun intended.) I understand the nervousness your experiencing. I have been swinging from really anxious and excited to completely hysterical and depressed about how different life is going to be. I just keep thinking that no matter what this is for the best but I can't help but feel terrified all at once.

I just didnt know if they were only going to to ask about the nutrition info the nutrionist provided me or if they were going to be very technical and start quizzing me on questions like "what is a carb made up of..." Good luck with your surgery Mattie. I am sure you will be fine! I am being banded at Norwalk Hospital. Who is your doctor?

Can someone give me advice on what multi vitamin to invest in? I originally thought I would just go with the viactive gummy chews but the nutritionist thinks they will get stuck so I need to find another option. I am worried because I really hate that chalky/grainy texture in my mouth. I am already dreading it and I don't have surgery scheduled until March 20th. Someone please help.

I just found out on Friday that my insurance was approved and I am scheduled for surgery on March 20th. That seems so fast to me. Shouldn't I feel excited instead of terrified?! Does that mean I am not really as serious about this as I should be...?
