To all of the folks having surgery tomorrow...GO WIN THIS! Tomorrow is your new birthday, may you face it with love and prayers to buoy you! Good luck and more importantly, God Bless!!

Good luck to you and I know you'll do great!!

@@Bronxmerci Feel better, my thoughts and prayers are with you for a speedy recovery!!

Lol, I bought 50 shades of grey for my surgery recuperation too. Lol good luck and speedy recovery to everyone.

Sooo post-op day 3 and I'm home. Day 1 was fine; day 2 was terrible with dehydration and pain. Pain wasn't from the gas but realized later it was from the drain which came out but the site leaked through my bandage and my abdominal binder. Much better today, mostly just sore struggling to get in protein and water. Thanks for the prayers and well wishes as I've never seen my surgeon quite so bubbly, she was very pleased after surgery! Good luck to those still to come and a speedy recovery to those who are on the mending side! We've all GOT this!!

Getting ready to go downstairs and check in at 7:45!!!

You've got this!

@@layknee thinking about you!!

So super excited!!! A bit nervous! Going to stay on hospital campus tonight to avoid traffic in the morning!! Woohoo! Congrats to the other 23rds, we're about to join the losers bench!

Layknee: any update? Do you feel better?

I'm starting to get nervous it's crazy Thursday morning can't get here fast enough...but I've got the flutters and abhor the thought of clears. Yucky. Good luck everyone!

Congrats!!!! Finally heading to the other side! I pray and will wait to hear that all goes well!

Which procedure and were you a band convert?

Congrats to those that had surgery today and are on the other side!! Have a quick and speedy recovery!

Didn't mean to like the post...yes there are liquid and you should ask for it. They're not amazingly flavored but better than the bitter pills. Good luck let us know what they say!

Are they lactose free shakes? Sometimes after surgery you can become temporarily lactose intolerant.

i think the only way I'll sleep Wednesday is with the help of Ambien!

good luck and many prayers! I know you'll do well.

Most multivitamins do contain iron, however since it can be toxic to children a lot of chewables don't...it will state it on the bottle if it contains iron. You should be taking the extra iron as our bodies do not readily absorb iron after surgery.

I think it's awesome! We have a great group! The support is phenomenal.

@"Beni". I am ultra paranoid I'll get sick before then, I'm bored of liquids but all in all still pretty excited. Gonna spend the night at a hotel in the hospital the night before. How about you?

Yes, I'm bypass on 23. I'm not good at the @@Beni

did you have sleeve or bypass?

Four more days until my newest birthday! Feels like a birthday-a new beginning to my life...

As long as I could take them whole I would...guessing no problems getting them through the pouch.
