Awesome. I still have some trapper gas too. Burping alot, and coming out the other way as well lol. I started my protein water this morning and it's going down pretty good. It's definitely not a walk in the park. But we got this. [emoji4] Have you been getting any sleep? I just can't get comfortable. Up every hour or so.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. So far I'm doing pretty well, the gas pains are whats getting me down right now. I can't sleep, just can't get comfortable. All my nurses were very impressed by me. I was up and walking as soon as I was in my room. My fluids went down good on my release day. Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm on day 2 and I cheated on day one. Nothing too horrible tho. Day 2 was easier because I was home all day. I didn't go to a Christmas function so I wouldn't be tempted by the food. I'm seriously hungry, and it's making me grouchy. Lol Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

My date is 12/29 also. [emoji1] Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

i Started mine today, its been a challenge but i know its for the best. Good Luck for your second week!

You definitely know the struggle then. Good luck to you as well.

I'm only 8 days away! Cant get here soon enough! I've already got my overnight bag for my hospital stay packed. I start my liquid diet tomorrow That's going to be a huge challenge for me. My surgeon requires strictly liquid with no protein supplements 7-14 days prior. (which is only 7 for me) Plus its over the Holidays!! I'm super anxious to say the least. Everyone say a little prayer for me for the weekend. It is gonna take a lot of will power.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement! Just cant wait to get through the next 7 days

Hi All! My surgery date is 12/29/17! I am soo excited. My nervousness hasn't set in yet.. but I'm sure it will next week. I am trying to get a head start on packing since i work 2 jobs and basically gone all week, and with the holiday weekend I am going to be very busy as well. What did ya'll pack for your hospital stay? Your must haves, or wish you would have brought and didn't, or vice versa. I'm also staying a night in a hotel the day that I'm released. What clothes were comfortable?

Congrats! Gives me hope i can too achieve this!

Awesome!! I dont blame ya! I'm from Illinois too! Your farther up north than i am so i can imagine it being worse up there.

Thanks everyone! Great suggestions!

Congrats! Prayers to you! Lets us know how everything went.

I'm curious about the Protein Water too. Would love to know what everyone likes as well.

I start my preop diet on 12/22. How are you dealing with that for the Holidays? I'm not gonna lie, its going to be tough for me.

Best wishes! I'm 9 days away and I cant wait. I wish it was tomorrow.
