Did I mess up bad?
Melissa1234 replied to Melissa1234's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Exactly! There's nothing clear protein except isopure and unflavored protein powder in clear liquids. It sucks! I'm so sick of chicken broth. They might as well say eat nothing. At least I only have to get through today and tomorrow. Then 7 more days post op of clears...awesome! I guess it's what I signed up for so no use doing any real complaining. -
anyone from Pennsylvania pre or post op

Pre op diet and feeling nauseous
Melissa1234 replied to Melissa1234's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Warm and cold. I got some isopure down and am feeling better. Now drinking some unjury chicken broth. I am a big baby about nausea. I hate to throw up. Maybe I just needed some protein? Who knows. Needless to say, this preop diet thing isn't real fun. -
Good luck, keep us posted!

Getting Surgery Oct 3rd and still have a cold!
Melissa1234 replied to Lorraine22383's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm not sure but I hope it works out for you. Being you were on antibiotics it should clear it up I would think. I would call the dr to ease my mind. -

Getting my Surgery Oct 3rd Getting Nervous..1 day clear liquid diet!
Melissa1234 replied to Lorraine22383's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am not nervous right now-it's like my brain has decided to block it out like it's not real. Strange I know. Now wed night I'll probably be in full freakout mode lol. I'm not looking forward to being in the hospital either. I don't like relying on others to care for me. I'm afraid of being sick after surgery. And in pain. I'm sure we'll do great. I'm trying to keep a really positive attitude about the whole thing. -
Pre op diet and feeling nauseous
Melissa1234 replied to Melissa1234's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you! I called them and they said "well, just keep an eye on it and call us if you start getting sick and can't hold down liquids". Also told me to try getting in some protein-if I could drink I would happily do that! Um thanks for nothing! So I'll probably be calling back later. I feel like they aren't taking me real seriously -
Getting my Surgery Oct 3rd Getting Nervous..1 day clear liquid diet!
Melissa1234 replied to Lorraine22383's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Today is a good example!
Melissa1234 replied to Healthygal's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This happened to me this week at Disney. Excruciating. I too have at least 110 lbs to lose. Totally ruined my trip. What a shame. -
Just ate my last supper before preop diet tomorrow. Makes it so real, it's freaking me out. Surgery day is thurs 10/3. I have 4 days of nothing but clear liquids. I'm scared of messing it up and ruining my surgery so I will be strong. My hubby is doing it with me believe it or not! Isn't he the best! Well see how long it lasts before we kill each other lol. So I just have to cook for my 5 year old. I've noticed a lot of us our going this week so good luck to us all and best wishes for speedy recoveries!

Thank u for the positive thoughts! I just woke up and already hungry. I'm having some tea and trying not to smell the eggs my moms cooking in the other room. I CAN do this (is what I'll keep telling myself lol),

Good lord woman! That's a long time. You are going to rock it though, no doubt

Liquid diet..mission impossible?
Melissa1234 replied to Mrs.FullerRN's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

How open were you about your surgery before and after?
Melissa1234 replied to Superfluous's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Aw! Don't be ashamed! I was at first too but now I know I'm doing what's best for my health. I'm telling close friends and family. -
I'm on vacation at Disney world with my mom and family and I'm miserable. My feet are KILLING me and my back is aching. I'm way too fat to be here. I wish we couldve taken this trip next year. I'm getting sleeved in exactly one week. Frankly, I can't wait. I'm so over this fat thing. I want to go home but were here for another 2 days. I'm trying to make the best of it but it's clear to everyone I'm miserable. I'm so glad my daughter is too little to remember mommy being sad at Disney. Shes having fun at least I guess I just needed to rant a little about the downfalls of being overweight and how it truly affects your happiness. Anyone else missing out on lifes pleasures because of their weight?
