Gosh, I don't know. I sure hope so and hope to see someone answer. My surgery is tomorrow.

Wish you the best of luck! I woke up the morning and said wood, my surgery is tomorrow!!! I'm starting to get nervous too!!

I'd rather blender real meat then eat baby food

Oh bummer. 2 weeks liquids ????

My surgery is Tuesday 9/23 and I was super nervous and now I'm excited, but I know come Monday I'll be very nervous again.

I'm 6 days into my pre op liquid too. I feel pretty crappy in the morning as well. I think it's just kind of common will our baby freaks out because we aren't feeding it. My surgery is Tuesday. When is yours?

Post surgery?

I'm not post up yet, but I will be Tuesday the 23rd.

How are you doing?

Good luck, by now you may be in the recovering side. I hope you are doing well.

Cape Coral here. My surgery is Tuesday and Dr Sheih is doing the surgery.

Welcome to the Loser side!! I'll be joining you there in 6 days.

Well I'm a week from my surgery but my doctor has said we will need between 60-90 grams of protein a day. So that's all I have for you.

Oh so the day before mine ???? good luck to you as well!!!

Wonderful News!!

Hope you are doing well now that you are on the losing side of life.

Good luck tomorrow!!!

Oops I see now your surgery was in January?

Good Luck!! Mind saying who you surgeon is? I'm going to Dr Moses Sheih on 9/23

I'm from Cape Coral and will be sleeved in 8 days.

Wow!!! What a great job!! I hope I have lost 88 lbs when I'm 4.5 months post op. I'm 8 days pre op now!

Just finished day one of pre op diet and I'm so tired. It wasn't as hard as I thought although I am now feeling a tad bit of headache trying to emerge. I hope tomorrow isn't bad either, but my stomach growls A LOT!!

Hi! Okay 18 days until surgery. Yesterday got the pre op call from hospital and everything went well until they told me to take heart medication day of surgery. Now, I don't take heart medication nor have I ever. I take Armour for my thyroid and that is all the meds I take. I do not have sleep apnea, etc. I am fat with slightly elevated cholesterol. I have a perfect EKG, perfect Echo, and very normal and sometimes lower BP. I called the cardiologist office because I was never informed of taking Atenolol even for just 3 days by his office at all. After waiting a day and a half I got a call from his office. The only explanation I got that he feels in his opinion it is to prevent any heart issues during surgery period. Now to me that isn't really an explanation as to why a perfectly heart healthy person would take it since I just had 2 hip surgeries last year and also two other surgeries and of course the endoscope all without taking heart medication. The nurse wanted me to make an appt to go back in to office at $350 a pop for him to explain why. I said well I think it is poor practice to not even inform your patient the need heart medication for surgery, that they just need to believe he is right. Has anyone else had to take heart medication just for surgery and for 2 days post op? I am so scared about the surgery anyway and now I'm afraid my bp would drop so much under anesthesia that it could kill me. Sorry I'm normal a stable person, but I've been close to tears since yesterday.

My doctor too stressed how important it is. One love of your liver actually covers your stomach, so by shrinking it it helps get it out of the surgeons way and if it's not shrunk it's harder to do the surgery and more chances of damage to your liver and your stomach from lack of view. I'm starting mine tomorrow. 4 protein drinks a day and then clear fluids the rest of the time for 5 days and then only clear liquids for 2 days before surgery.

You look fantastic!!!!
