With the regular broths in the broth aisle. They are by Swanson.

I've had the Mexican tortilla soup broth and it's good. Spicy goodness. I was gonna eat the Asian hot n sour broth but ended up at my sister's house to watch TWD. I'll try it tomorrow and give u my take on it.

Yeah... Getting the plague now would not be good. Chicken soup broth helps too!!!

Then I'll try to do that tomorrow... After I go to the courthouse to see the traffic judge. I'm a bad driver.

Omg!!! Ur "tomorrow's" are running out!!!!!

Regarding complications, talk to RJ's/Beginning. She was even in a coma. But.... Even through all of her complications, and they were many, she still says she'd have gotten sleeved. Complications can happen with any surgery and the sad fact of the matter is you will hear more from people with complications than those that do well sometimes in small groups. You know why? People get sleeved, do great and then stop updating. But people with complications seek support, which is exactly what we are here to give them. In small groups most people like to let others know when they are having a problem, while everyone that isn't just doesn't post every day "everything went textbook great today". The chance of a complication is very slim. But yes, they can happen. It's a chance I'm willing to take. I have severe spinal stenosis, schmorl's nodes and my left foot and leg goes numb with pain on a regular basis. I have high bp and sleep apnea. I KNOW I cannot live this way and am getting the sleeve Bc it is the tool that will help me change the way I fuel my body. By doing it right I'll lose weight. By losing weight I could be rid of bp meds and a CPAP as well as ease my constant pain. This is scary, and most people say that for a couple of weeks after surgery they suffer buyer's remorse, but in the end it's the best thing they've ever done for themselves April

Exactly!!! And I keep checking and double checking my hospital list like I'm insane. I still have 9 days but you'd think it was tomorrow by my mental state. Lol

As I look back it does seem that the past 6 days on pre-op has flown, but my days themselves seem to last forever. From the moment I wake up til I'm trying to fall asleep. Time drags for me. I can't find enough to do in the day to make time pass

I'm so effing excited. I swear, the days are CREEPING lol. All I keep thinking about is this surgery.

Me too. If it's early it means I won't be dwelling on it half the day. It's a 3 hr drive for me

Well, I wish I knew my time

I've heard nothing but good about dr Alverez! You're gonna do grrreat!!!!

Because The Walking Dead starts tomorrow...

Dayum straight!!!!!

I'm on the same diet but I add protein powder to everything I can. Puddings and yogurts. If you'll keep the carbs super low and the protein high they'll go away. Also there is a difference in feeling "hungry" and feeling "empty". We are used to always feeling full. Right now we are more empty than hungry. Hang in there. You have lots of others going through the same thing.

Awesome!!! Glad you're here for support! Lots of support and advice to help us along on these boards

Mine will call Friday, too, with the time. Usually it's the day before, but since Monday is a holiday it'll be Friday.

Should be. But you can mix it with water if you must. Or almond milk, coconut milk or skim milk to keep calories at a minimum.

I was more excited than nervous Bc I knew this was leading up to the new me. Also, if I'm not compliant with a 2 week diet, how can I be compliant with an entire lifestyle change? You can do this. Sure, it sucks. It's no fun. But it is doable.

After the first 2 days I was fine. I am starting day 6 today and since I'm getting over 100g protein n less than 30 carbs I have no real hunger. Only the hunger that's in my brain thinking about fast foods and high carb foods. But that's easy to beat if you stick your mind to it.

Problem is, you don't know how someone is going to take what you say. Just because somebody doesn't think something is offensive doesn't mean that it isn't. Before we post we need to stop and really think before hitting that SEND button. I'd be highly offended if someone said that to me.

Yeah. It really isn't anything for someone on an "acquaintance" level to say. I was a bit shocked, but apparently lots of ppl on here say things that offend others

Yeah. Once the pre-op diet starts you should not have any food funerals

I'm the same and I'm not hungry at all. My protein has been over 100g a day and my carbs below 30. I'm in ketosis and burning fat like crazy.

Try bariatric fusion all-in-one that you only take 3x a day.
