October 4th for me!

Good luck

Hi I was banded on 9-6.Shop for all your post op food before hand.I was same day surgery and had a lot of gas pain when I came home so walk walk walk as much as you can to move gas.Heating pad helped and I also iced my stomach and that relieved pain and swelling.Sip Water and try to get all your fluids in it's hard at times because you feel full but sip sip sip.The most important tip for me to bring to the hospital is chapstick ahem I was in recovery my lips were so dry.Good luck to all of you.

Thx I like your advise I will see how it will be with me I hope every thing will be fine my doctor and her stuff make it look easy if I follow there advise.

I've got no advice. Im a newbie just like you. I'm experiementing with the shakes because that muscle milk light has a very bitter aftertaste that I dont like' date=' reminds me of sweet n low. I bought a hamilton beech personal sixe blender today for 20 at a discount store and it whips up great smoothies, crushes ice like a dream. I made myself an unjury one and my daughter a Peanut Butter banana smoothie. Both were yummie[/quote']

Thx I am on my post- op liquid diet ii am doing good I am trying new things for the Protein I like costco brand they are good and good price, I like the vanilla with instant coffee and ice or hot it taste good also the chocolate one. Again thx

I m scheduled for surgery on October 10th! I'm excited and nervous' date=' too! Any advice would be appreciated.[/quote']

My surgery on the 10 th too at 7:30 am

I was doing ok until today. The smell of these shakes is nauseating. So I'm going to regroup and try to find something that I can tolerate. Hope your doing better than I am....LOL!

Try add some instant coffee it helps
