I've never heard about Robb. That's a new one to me can u tell me a little about it? Where do u buy it?

Hey you and no they moved my surgery to Monday April 14th I'm on day 8 of liquid diet

Hang in there with the CPAP I just recently received mines and I tell u the quality of my sleep is so much better. I awaken actually rested I find that I'm less cranky well not today because I'm missing food something terrible so yes Lord please let Monday hurry here.

Get it girl congrats to u!! :0)

I'm going to have to try that it sounds delicious.

Follow what ur surgeon set fourth for u. Pre-op diets vary surgeon to surgeon but ur surgeon has devised a plan that's best for u and ur unique situation. I am on day 8 of my liquid diet but just know some surgeons do 2 weeks some 2days and some none at all just depends on the practice of the surgeon and ur needs.

Try Chike u can order a sample pack online for $9.99. It was my absolute favorite out of them all but I have been having one for Breakfast for the last month then was having them 2-3 times a day On this liquid pre-op diet so I've gotten burned out but prior to that they were absolutely amazing to me without the after taste. www.ilikechike.com

Very true

This is great news. Happy to hear everything went well and ur doing ok. Rest up and drop us a line here and there keeping us updated.

Yes ma'am lol I was the same way. I am guilty of looking at a lady thinking to myself "REALLY" but on the real had I had been more focused early on I wouldnt be here at a whopping 105 lbs over weight so yup those that intervened early on was on point.

Erin ur going to do well on ur pre-op diet. I'm on day 8 and surgery is Monday. What I will say is once I made it to day 4 it has been pretty smooth sailing. I don't feel hungry just get the urge to chew or have something with some substance. I haven't experienced any withdrawal symptoms and I think that's because I cut out the sugary foods caffeine and carbs 3-4 weeks before I started the liquid diet. The wonderful people here on these boards r very helpful so visit often to pull from all the positive vibes and on days ur up others will pull from u.

I am taking the centrum chewable one a day and biotin. After surgery I will continue the vitamin and add 1200-1500mg calcium a day and I bought the citrical with D3 but I was instructed not to take the vitamin and calcium together. Supposedly biotin is in my vitamin so I need to stop taking it.

Surgeons instructions preoperatively vary surgeon to surgeon. U chose ur surgeon so I'm sure u r confident in him or her. Follow ur surgeons instructions even if it differs from some of our instructions. We r all having WLS but we r all different people some with additional elements some with no co-morbidities. Ur surgeon has instructed u based on what's best for u. I'm on day 8 of my pre-op liquid diet and Monday won't come fast enough lol. Wishing u much success on ur WLS and looking forward to joining u on the losers bench.

That's awesome congrats to u!!

Sending up a prayer for u and sending skinny vibes ur way. Let us know how ur doing when u can.

Everyday my anxiety and fears are rising. My surgery is Monday April 14th. Can anyone share how they felt woke up in recovery? One of my biggest fears is waking up feeling like I've been hit by a freight train.

Ughhhhh I don't want not another protein shake. For the last month or so I have swapped my breakfast for a protein shake and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm on day 5 of my pre-op liquid diet and I have had it i don't want not another one. I absolutely loved Chike and now I don't want Chike I don't want Premier Protein just ughhhh...what concerns me is I have to drink them post-op as well what the heck??? Have anyone else absolutely found a couple protein shakes they LOVE then find them undrinkable?I'm sitting at my desk looking at this shaker cup thinking not another one ughh!

Pre-op diet instructions seem to vary greatly from surgeon to surgeon. I've heard of people doing 4 weeks, 2 weeks, 1week, 2 days just depends on ur surgeon. I'm sure ur surgeon has his or her reasoning maybe u could inquire why so long so at least u will have an understanding of why u need to do it for that period of time. Best of luck to u Hun.

Thank u so much everyone. What's a comfort is if I do wake up in pain getting under control shouldn't be an issue. I'm praying I'm one of the ones that do really well.

Hey Cari these two weeks r going to fly by. I'm on day 7 and doing pretty pretty good. Best wishes to u!

Hey girl hand in there. I'm feeling u totally!! I don't feel hungry I have a desire to chew I know that sound crazy lol. We r almost there so hang tuff and finish strong U got this.

Hey Zappo skinny vibes to u!

Congrats to u!

Hey there I feel the exact same way. I will be sleeved on Monday. I think it's normal we feel this way After all we r having major surgery. Best wishes to u on ur WLS journey.

Hey everyone our big day is just around the corner. How's everyone feeling? For me I'm faring ok on the liquid diet but feeling more and more nervous every day. It's like I'm so ready to be sleeved and begin my new life at the same time scared out of mind that when I wake up in recovery I'm going to feel like I've been hit by a freight train.
