My nutritionists has told me that is ok as long as I can get the proper amounts of fluid in at the very least! I almost got dehydrated because I was the same way, I just didn't want any food or water. I can tell you from experience, you DO NOT want to get dehydrated, worst feeling every! I'd rather have a bad flu than dehydration, yuck! Anyway, that's what she told me, fluids are the most important, protein is second. Hope this helps a bit....

I use Opurity Bariatric Vitamins, chewables for GBP patients. It's at unjury.com. If you look at the label, it has most of the B12, biotin, iron, that we are required daily so I didn't have to buy a bunch more vitamins as well.

Littlepieface, Yesss! My surgery was Nov 13th and I've been stuck for two weeks! I'm also doing everything right and to a T so I'm getting frustrated!! You're not alone....

No, its been bothering me for a few days now. Stuck in a plateau, bawling my eyes out and if not crying, I'm really snappy. Driving me crazy as it's not me at all!! I'm just trying to keep eating, drinking and exercising and hoping it will pass VERY soon lol! I hear it is hormones...wow do I dread the change later in life if this is what it'll be like hahahaha!

Omg worm! I'm such a basket case the past few days too! Crying at everything on TV lol! I hope it ends soon before I go back to work Monday...I keep wondering what's wrong with me so I'm glad you shared and I'm not alone <3. I'm 2 wks post op today.

Hi everyone! So surgery this morning at 900. When weighed in I had lost 23 pounds on 2 wk liquid pre op diet!! Procedure went well. Was nauseas on morphine so switched to dilaudid and much better. Been walking and sipping and feel pretty good! Yup, the gas pains are a bit#!%*- but not debilitating. Hope every one else is doing well too!! Will check back in tomorrow.

Hi all! So my bag is packed and I'm ready to go tomorrow. Have to be at hospital by 630 am for 900 surgery! Let's do this

I'm currently on the nicoderm patch, step 2. My surgeon and I spoke about it and I am just not going to use the patch anymore after surgery on Tuesday. The pain medicine, etc. will hopefully help me through the final withdrawals so I will be done!

Me too...although they did allow me a tiny sip of water to take my morning medicines.

Holy cow! Is that you? LOL, you definitely look amazing! Keep up the great work girl!

WOW!! That's amazing ruthiej!! Congratulations, keep up the great work! That's a lot to lose in just one month, kudos to you!

We're with you Vicki! Prayers your way...

This is amazingly informative! Thank you sooo much for sharing!

Congratulations on your hard work!!! It sounds like it's really paying off To be honest, I can't wait to be able to just bend over and tie my shoes straight on instead of sideways or not at all!! Little things.....keep up the great work! I'll be on the losing bench as of this coming Tuesday the 13th. People like you inspire me!

I got the same way! Started my 2 week liquid pre-op diet last week and my surgeon had me start my new vitamin regimen, mainly to get used to it, etc. I started getting nauseated with the extra meds and having just liquids didn't help any either! I started taking them with my protein shakes since that's the only substance I have had and it's helped some. I have also evened out the vitamins, multi and biotin with breakfast shake, calcium and iron with lunch shake, etc. so I wasn't filling my stomach with all of them at the same time. Hope this helps....

Hi all! I'm dsaltz01. I've sent you invites, glad to have some friends on there for support!

Yay! Good luck and best wishes for a speedy recovery

Great question! I am newly single (a year out) myself and have been wondering the same thing. Anxious to see some of the responses to this....

What an amazing accomplishment! Congratulations, great job! You are truly an inspiration!

Congratulations! Mine's the 13th, we'll have to keep in touch and walk this journey together

Hi all! Quick question: I started my pre-op 2 week liquid diet this Tuesday (just 3 days ago). I am getting all my calories, liquids and Protein in as required. My question is this: today I feel jittery but in a good way, lots of energy, almost high on it so to speak. Is this normal? Is it just from cleaning out all that junk food, sugar, etc. and I am coming back to normal/healthy? It's such a weird physical feeling lol! Is this how you felt? Thanks!!

Good riddance to bad, evil, tempting habits! Well said Butterfly!
