I'm so sore cant wait to start feeling better!! Any remembers for this soreness ?

I just caved in and took the liquid Vicodin.. I took 1/2 the dose! I didn't get to see my doctor either cause we had a blizzard and it was extremely insane in there.. But my doctor just called me an hour ago and explained everything.

omg thats terrible... NYS law doesnt permit most of the pharmacies to carry the liquid meds so I was lucky to get it at the hospital. there were a few cancellations before my surgery time.. so i lucked out and had my surgery 6 hours earliar.. if i didnt.. i would have been stuck there all night and probably the next 2 days because we had a major blizzard lol my soreness is getting better.... i actually got up and started moving arounnd and i feel x10 better

How are u feeling???? And thanks everyone btw

I'm trying to stay away from pain killers because in the past i had renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer) and I had my right kidney removed so painkillers and any unnecessary pills/meds are a no no.. Woke up and felt a lil better today but OMG ! I feel like I went snowboarding and rolled down the hill lol

I go to dr. Schwack @ NYU langome weightloss center.

I dunno what I'm more excited for.. Starting my weightless journey or..... Only having to drink 2 shakes instead of five lol *jk.. I'm not a fan

Yes Friday!!! I'm so excited and nervous!

Wow! That's so little! Your not allowed veggies? If you are.. Juicing them is fun.. A little weird at first but it helps with nutrition

I am 4 more days!

Which shakes are u drinking.. The lowest cal one I found was 115 calories and I need 5-6 shakes a day.. Plus the allowed extras.. When I was younger I used to drop Water weight like it was literally a glass of water but my body was practically in starvation mode.. Can't do that anymore though lol

Leslie, how come you did not look to have your surgery here in NYC? There are so many weightloss centers that have amazing doctors.

I'm having my surgery Friday too! I'm also pear shaped.. I was wondering the same thing A friend of mine that was banded had lost weight on top then she started losing on the bottom.. But everyone's bodies are different

I'm on day 8 of my 14 day pre-op diet and to be honest.. It isn't that bad now. My first 3 days all I wanted was sugar, after passing that hurdle it was fine. Good luck!

I have been preparing for this surgery for a little over a year and I just started getting nervous about it! Im scheduled for Feb. 8th and I start fasting Next Sunday. I joined this site for some extra support!

thanks guys! even these few comments helped me out a little.

My doctor wants me to do 5 Protein shakes per day and water only. My nutrionist still considers it liquid fasting, so I just caught on to calling the pre-op diet fasting. Thanks everyone for the welcome!
