    Pre-Op Diet Started Today Help

    Today is day 4 of my liquid diet. It is not half as bad as what I though it was going to be. 4-5 shakes a day , a few popsicles, chicken broth and tons of water keeps me full. I seriously thought i was going to crack by now. Still have to pack for monday and take some before photos. ( havent had a picture taken of me in years)
  4. I actually dropped the class last night. 36 hours of homework in one week for all my classes and with surgery coming up I had to cut one thing out. I am going to be taking it next semester. my classes are 8 weeks long so they are very intense.
  5. I am havinf to write a report this semester on something I care about. Since i am going to be having surgery in a few days, i might as well write about this. I need to find somethig about bariatric surgery that is argumentative. So I was thinking how only some insurance companies pay for it and other will not . or another topic I though of id ... will the benefits of WLS outweight the risks ? Help me out
  6. Thanks you guys for all your help :-)
  7. So you think weight loss surgery vs. traditional diet/exercise

    Mag Citrate ?

    I would not take it the night before surgery... you will up poopin all night. I only drank a 1/2 bottle and have been in the bathroom all day
  10. Is there anyone else out there that is required to take mag citrate before having your sleeve done? let me know. I was told to take at least a 1/2 bottle a few dyas before surgery. (i am working the day before surgery) I just dont understand why since they are not re-routing my tubes. Thanks

    Can Throwing Up Cause A Leak?

    did they prescribe an anti-nausea for you? Zofran 8mg ODT or Phenergan syrup.

    Just To Introduce Myself

    OMG I have the magic bullet and I am going still going to use that and bring it work with me. but the ninja is the fantastic !!! I also bought some very small rubbermaid containers which hold the perfect amount of food and Protein Powder for work and travel. The set I got at Pier 1 had the spoons already with it. If you have an Ikea near you I know they carry the demitasse spoons cheap and there are no cartoon charaters on them :-)

    Just To Introduce Myself

    I start my pre-op diet on Sunday. 4 shakes per day and clear liquid for one week. I just bought a kitchen ninja pulse for my smoothies. it makes them go down easier. I also went to pier 1 and got some cute tasting dishes. they are just the right portion.
