Thanks @Stevehud I just wish I could have it now :/ Have you thought about calling the doctor about the pain?

I spent 12 years with a jealous man who was not faithful, verbally abusive and would punch walls or throw things. The father of my only two kids and I had to get my children and walk...took me learning the hard way but I did it. My parents were alcoholics that fought and beat the crap out of each other. I am thankful to have survived that and then I married one! At 29 I realized that I had two young kids to raise and I didn't want them to think people lived like I had with my parents. My children never saw what their Dad did to me but the holes in the walls was proof. It was scary to leave but liberating at the same time. This is a decision SHE has to make on her own or she will go back (or work thinks out) every time until SHE is ready unfortunately.

I think it varies between doctors and probably the general health of the patient. If a patient only has smaller amount to lose, it seems, they aren't given as strict of a diet (or none). Some only do the liquid diet the day before. I have a two week limited and a liquid one for tomorrow.

I caved because I crave peanut butter and I am supposed to be on a pre-op diet. Why is the doc wanting no fruit or yogurt (even FF) I would gladly swap out for that. Tomorrow is the all liquid day and surgery at 7am on the 6th...

I am on the downhill slide (surgery Wednesday the 6th) and it has been a hit and a miss. Sucks because I had envisioned doing it inside my new house but instead I am in an RV out back waiting for my house to be completed - stressing. I am in it to win - so I have been being as diligent as I can :/

I was a stalker, then fell out of the program for about a month, and rejoined. I am scheduled for surgery Wednesday and I am excited and scared. It is a life changing decision (for the best) but scary still. I have never had surgery and I won't this to be my only time. I did have wisdom teeth removed and a cyst of my index finger removed where I was knocked out but this is invasive, and it makes me think about it. Good luck~

did anyone else get constipated on the pre op diet? I have been taking flaxseed and had to stop last week and everything else stopped too. I feel bloated and surgery is Wednesday.

when do you start your pre option diet?

what did your nutritionist say?

I kind of feel the same way. I didn't tell a lot of people and my surgery is Wednesday the 6th. I think it's us and our fears and emotions wanting us to succeed. this is a big deal.

I forgot to add that I do have the vac time but the doctors office asked for FMLA paperwork, just in case. that's something I didn't want to do is let job know about the surgery. I have a little more than two weeks leave.

I am planning on taking off from the 6th thru the 18th. I would rather not share my info either. I had to ask for FMLA paperwork, just in case, and that stirred the pot. I said elective surgery on the 6th, moving and family visiting from Las Vegas, was the reason why I was staying out until the 18th. all true except for moving. not sure if that's going to happen. currently living in a RV while my modular finishes completion. ready to get on the other side-

if you have lost 54 lbs in 5weeks that is great. my surgery is Wednesday and I hope to feel as well. good luck!

that's tough and you will have other hurdles. my surgery is Wednesday and I have thought about things like my grandsons birthday parties.....

I don't have surgery until Wednesday and I will live with hubby and son eating fast food and my family is ok with surgery but I don't have anyone cheering me on.

those are all NSVs! sweet!!!!

Free - how well did you do with the band?

I am going in Wednesday the 6th - hoping to be able to post the same thing - feeling great & minimal pain

I haven't been on the site because of access issues but my surgery is Wednesday and I feel excited to be able to do thing Lipstick talked about and that outweighs my fear of the surgery ;D

@@Band07 you were banded...then sleeved.....now going for a mini bypass?

no but I do agree that WLS will help eliminate or reduce the sleep apnea. I have Fed BCBS and got pretty quick response for surgical approval. I have other commordities so I think it sped it thru. good luck!

I am a lot older and am starting to skip them so hope I don't have one again!

best of luck and do check with insurance co.

mine said no yogurt I love it.

I don't have a surgical date but I see him for the date Tuesday. I am pretty much doing the pre surgical diet, just eating more protein and calories. I hope to know a date Tuesday
