Good luck to you Oakies on your upcoming surgeries. You will do fine. I had surgery 3 months ago and it is the best decision I ever made for myself. Wow, you're staying in the hospital 4 days? I only stayed one night and did fine. The first week is the most difficult, but after that it is smooth sailing. You won't be hungry after surgery so the liquid diet is no problem. In fact, it will be a challenge to get all your protein and liquids in. Let us know how you do. Again, good luck!

Yes, it is perfectly normal to have all those feelings. We have all had them. It is totally worth any discomfort or anxiety you may have. Good luck to you and let us know your progress.

Congratulations on your super pre surgery weight loss and your upcoming surgery. I had my surgery October 16th and my only regret is I didn't have it years earlier. You will do great. The first few days after surgery are pretty rough, but after that it was smooth sailing for me. I am 3 months out, have lost 50 lbs and I feel great! I have more energy than I've had in years! Good luck to you, and let us know your progress.

Thanks everyone I'm using smoothie kings gladiator right now, it's really good but expensive. I will try some of these suggestions.

What brand of protein do you like?

Good luck to you!

Hi, I am new to this forum. I had gastric bypass October 10, 2013. It was the best decision I have ever made concerning my weight. I am 67 years old and I have lost 50 ills so far, with 50 more to go! I was on 40 units of insulin daily and don't have to take any at all now. I have gone from 4 bp meds to only 1/2 pill for my bp. No cholesterol meds anymore either. I am so thrilled. I feel like I have a new lease on life.
