I'm almost 4 wks out. I too was bit surprised about the drain. Mine went across the lower abdomen but came out easy. Just felt weird. Take a deep breath RELAX and it will be over before you know it. Thanks for the advise. I get my drain out Tuesday.

26th also and very nervous. I know it is the right thing but still seek to wonder. Cold feet I guess.

I haven't had those thoughts. I keep thinking about how I am going to cut my favorite recipes down to small portions. Without having so many leftovers I won't be able to eat it all

congratulation - that is amazing and wonderful work.

Congratulation Congratulations

Do you have medical issues because of your weight? if you do, maybe your doctors office can help with getting the insurance to step up. My insurance denied me because My BMI was below their requirement, because I was adopted and do not have biological history, and do not currently have weight related health issues. I went with the self pay because I do not want to get to the place insurance wants me to be before they will pay.

For the chewing need, is using gum an option? My surgery is not until the 26th, so I have not started the liquid portion yet.

Pre-Op done, bills paid, only 1 week liquid before surgery; no panic attack - It is getting real, I'm getting nervous & excited

All will be good. Hang in there.

Nice to know there is another person from Kansas City - I am going to North Kansas City Hospital BariatricWill it be your consult visit? I am doing my pre-op tomorrow with surgery scheduled for May 26th

i thought about starting the liquids early but not real sure - mostly I am just taste testing different protein drinks to figure out what I like.

I was nervous and scared also at the beginning but it will pass hun. I also waited over 2 yrs to get it done and i finally had it done may 1st. Right now i am having lots of gas pain but other than that im ok. Just not eating anything but then again im not hungry.. I found popsicles soo good at this stage which is clear liquid stage... Im done on the 8th then i can add yogurt and fat free milk to my diet can't wait for that good luck hun u will be fine.. It will be all worth it... I started on may 1st with 261 pounds and i just weight myself and lost 7 pounds I'm still a but out to be nervous - I am sure I will either after my Wed appt. or when I start the liquid diet - that is when I think it will become real to me.

I am right there with you - surgery the 26th I go in for my pre-op on the 6th, - very nervous about liquid diet I go on the 6th for pre-op too at 8:45am! do you have to do a full two wk liquid diet? they have been talking a week liquid diet so I am interested on what they finally tell me on Wed.

Thank you - I will try these. I have been worried about the bland of regular broth also

Congratulations on the start of your new life - I am sure the pain will be better, especially once you get home

I found a wonderful product today - I have not asked my NUT about it yet. I am a BIG milk drinker - at my QuikTrip today I found FairLife Milk - I tried the chocolate and am going to try the white tomorrow. It was wonderful, extra protein without the protein taste, was just like milk Chocolate reduced fat 11.5 oz 200 cal 19 g protein 6 g fat 19 g carbs

I am right there with you - surgery the 26th I go in for my pre-op on the 6th, - very nervous about liquid diet

Hi everyone. Just found this app trying to research everything I can to reduce nervous. I have may 26th day on my 44th b-day. I go the 6th for my pre op. What are people's favorite liquid protein. So many don't taste good and I don't want to spend money on something I won't use.

Hi everyone. I'm starting the same adventure. May 26 Date, go for my pre-op info on the 6th. Very nervous and try to research all the info I can. Would like to stay in touch and know what apps are being used for tracking. I found one caloratio that was developed by a bariatric surgeon. Has anyone tried it?
