    Liquid Diet=Terrifying

    thanks for the suggestions! well, i started on 6/26 and it was going pretty darn well - a whole lot better than i expected...until today. i couldn't resist the bbq smell and had a chicken leg and 1 rib. i have a headache out of this world and hope i haven't screwed everything up. we'll see. my surgery is scheduled for the 9th but may have to be postponed for a totally different reason (posting in another thread), so that's how i justified it in my head.

    Liquid Diet=Terrifying

    did you get headaches at all? last night, i thought mine would explode. i just knocked myself out with sleep meds to sleep through the pains - then thought, i probably shouldn't have those either. i'm hanging in there. i realize i'm being dramatic for just day two, lol!

    Liquid Diet=Terrifying

    i just started my two week pre-op liquid diet on Monday and it isn't as bad as i thought it would be. of course, i'm only two days in. the only thing that gets me is the lack of "real" (MEAT, cheese, etc.) flavored things. all the juices, jello, puddings, etc. either fruit or chocolate flavored. besides the chicken and beef broth, i got nothing. i see some of you can have salads, lean meats and other things not on my list. i'm going to call my surgeon's office to see what i can do, lol

    Time Off?

    i only had five days of sick/vacation left for the year but luckily, i have a super supportive boss and granted me an additional week of PTO just because he wanted me to be successful...and probably doesn't want me to quit, lol. so, i have a total of two weeks off. i don't think i'll really need it but i'd be a fool to turn it down. i am a bit of a baby when it comes to pain though. i manage a warehouse, which is mostly desk work, a LOT of walking around and some occasional lifting - which i think i can't do for a few weeks? i still need to get clarification re: that.
  6. you know, i was totally fine until i came across a particular video on youtube describing someone's bad experience. then, i started clicking on all of the related videos to the right and got freaked out because they were all negative. i guess there is such a thing as too much information, lol. what i DID notice was that they were all made months after the actual procedure and these particular folks hadn't seen much progress. this is my first surgery ever. i'm too far in to turn back now. come on 7/9!!!

    Anyone Getting Banded In July?

    July 9th! i'm excited and a bit anxious. i started my two week liquid diet Monday night. the dietician originally asked me to do three but the surgeon said it wasn't necessary. it's a good thing i like jello, lol
