Hi there! I am 4 days post op and I totally know what you mean. I have been in so much pain. Just today (day 4) it was a LITTLE easier. I can not do the protein shakes at all it makes me Ill. I can do small medicine cup sized sips only of chicken broth. I know what the goal is to have 60 g of protein but i can only do what i can do. I figured that is better than nothing at all. Also try th popsicle. That worked good for me too. Easy to get down and it felt good . Water was a no go for me at all. It just nauseated me. U should b able to tolerate a little more every day. SMALL sips is the key. Almost like ur swallowing saliva.

Good luck, praying!!!

Lol, here here!

Hi! My surgery is Monday and I am totally feeling u! My youngest is 2 on Oct 11th and I feel like I can chicken out any minute. I am excited but I am really scared. I don't care about the pain part, i just want to know I will come out ok, ya know?? Praying for a good experience.

Hi!! Mine is the 24th also! It is somewhat surreal to me that it's here. I am nervous and worried I will not have everything I need also. I have an 11 year old and a 2 year old and I don't know how this is going to work! Prayers your way!!

HI there! My surgery is Monday. I too have the same problem as you. I only have Monday thru Monday off. I have a desk job as well and I am PRAYING it will be enough. Good Luck!

Ha ha ha! Isnt is so funny that I can not lose weight so I opted for surgery. But I have to lose weight first, lol. 18 Pounds is AWESOME! I will hopefully be behind you soon. I am going to GNC to get some ZeroCarb Isopure tonight. I am gonna just put myself on the diet.

They told me to lose 5 pounds and I swear I CANT !! I think I would be better off to do the full liquid diet. You are doing great PP on your weight loss thus far.

I am not on a liquid diet either. I was just told to lose 5+ pounds. They said IF I could not do it on my own, then and only then would I be required to drink shakes only 1 week preop. I guess every DR is different.
