I think you are right to meet with another surgeon, it sounds like your first doctor is not listening to you, I would meet with the second surgeon and discuss why I want the bypass and see if he agrees, I would do what my heart tells me you are the only one that has to live with your choice. Good luck.

HI I am 3 days on my liquid diet as well and have had a headache for 3 days i was told to take tylenol and its normal your body is detoxing from all of the food that was stored in it.

Lol I know the pre surgery diet is hard but stay focus do one day at a time I'm on day 3 and I'm not hungry but I think it's a mind thing that I want to eat, crunch on a sugar free Popsicle if your craving something sweet or just need to chew on something, who would have thought I could manage on less than 500 calories a day without bring hungry , I drink two premiere protein shakes a cup of chicken broth one sugarfree puffing and I sugarfree Popsicle if I need to chew. Good luck my friends I can't wait until Monday then it's show time ,

Jtickle I am sorry that your friends are taking their frustration out on you, please take one day at a time you are bless to have a low out of pocket expense and making the choice to be healthy is a good choice, I have been on my journal since August of last year and had to wait 5 months just to get a surgery date when my 6 months were up I have surgery Monday and it seems like a lifetime , your day will come faster than you think, you have friends here, please add me we can talk anytime Good luck my friend and your husbands right by the way .

Just stay focus give yourself credit 1 pound beats zero pounds you can do this and congrats on your choice to be healthy I have my procedure Monday and I smile on the liquid diet. I look forward to reading your post good luck .

Loveslanderr lol Monday can't quick enough I'm going to bed early everyday I miss the chewing while on this liquid diet so I am crunching on sugar free Popsicles I am not hungry at all and my calories have been under 500 a day wow I would have never imagine that . I'm going to gleam out my refrigerator later on today that should make me feel better .

Was anyone given an abdominal binder or did they buy there own?

Rome lol me too I have been going to bed at 8:00 at night I'm not hungry during this liquid diet but like you said not chewing is strange, but I have a sugarfree Popsicle and chew on that lol, I know it's a mind thing and Monday can't come fast enough .

Anitadreams Hi they have to be sugar free because with your new tummy you can not handle sugar, the best way to describe it , like they told us in class, sugar is your enemy its like poison to your system and also you can have dumping and other side affects when you eat it or something you should not have.

Hi have you tried the Twin Lab Bariactric support chewable multivitamin they are great.
