I was shocked to learn...Bottled Water is no different than tap water..(obviously except certain brands).... http://www.allaboutwater.org/tap-water.html But yeah...Crystal light is awesome....def please don't sabotage your new surgery with drinking "bad" things (I'm assuming that if you don't drink water... You're probably something that you're not supposed to drink??) let us know if you can make the switch.... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi all....my last visit was on Friday 7/8/16...jst waiting on PCP to send in his "Support Letter" (which the nurse sd by this Friday 7/15) & then Midwest Bariatrics (of Neenah, WI) will submit everything for approval (I don't foresee a problem at all).... I asked how long after approval do they usually schedule surgery .... She said only two weeks!! ....yaaaay! I asked if there was a preop liquid diet.... She said no just continue to eat how you're eating your liver should be small enough.... So I anticipate an August date!! I can't wait ...so it seems more real!!! I do have a FB That I specifically made for bariatric support.... And I would love anyone who wants to add me to feel free!! Especially anyone who has surgery in August!! Obviously I would love to have people who have been through it (to answer any questions)... Also anyone who is anticipating it (who has any questions)....plz let me know if you want to add me!! Thank you for your time & support!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have IBSD....no real solid bowel movements...so I'm wondering if this will change after surgery?? I also heard from my Dr today that the more of your small intestines that gets cut off the worse you're going to have dumping syndrome and diarrhea??? He told me there was 3 different lengths that they cut off depending on your body type and BMI....but again... The more that gets cut off the more that You're gonna have issues??? But he also told me... The more that they cut off ...the more weight that you will lose... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
