I switched to tylenol last week after pre-op meeting. i normally took nuprin for pain. hopefully no more bp meds or celebrex.

thank you both for explaining that to me. i was told you stop the celebrex 1 week before surgery.

What is NSAIDS?? trying to remember all of these abbriviations...lol

9 more days to go !! I'm getting a little nervous. Been on my pre-op diet since this past Monday, I've lost 8 lbs. My diet is great, I can eat 3 meals a day, I was so afraid I was going to be on the liquid diet like some of you posted.

Wow...that is great, being off your meds. I am so hoping for that. I take a bp medicine, and celebrex. Premarin I will always take. Celebrex is for my lower back, but with the weight loss, hoping I won't need it anymore. WTG on your weight loss!! :tt2:

Will you share your chili recipe? I love chili.

Are the oven baked fish sticks breaded? Are they pretty good? The only fish I like is tuna, salmom croquettes, long john silver, or popcorn shrimp. all a no-no except the tuna. I am going today to buy some talipia, I have been told it doesnt have the fishy taste.

Can you eat fruit sauces, vege juice, any type of Soup as long as there are no chunks, thinned cream of wheat, cream of rice, malt o meal. or grits? My surgery date is Aug. 4th. I have my instruction pamplet in front of me now looking at what I can eat on 3rd day. How about some LOW CARB Slim Fast...i love those.

Joann....what are you waiting on? Will you get your date soon? My surgery is Aug. 4th....9 more days !! :thumbup: I have lost 8 lbs since Monday on my pre-op diet. My diet is great, I am able to eat 3 meals a day. High protein, low carb. I hope you won't be waiting too long. :confused2:

I live in Grand Prairie. My niece has the same Dr. as you. She lives in Allen, Tx.

My surgery date is Aug. 4th. I'm curious to know, how long will I go after surgery before I get my first fill? Also, how long before solid food.

I bought the Bariatric Advantage Watermelon chewables from my Dr. its ok. I think I will try the lemon next. 13 more days to go :thumbup:

Looking for a multiple vitamin that doesn't taste too bad. Does anyone have one that they like? Would appreciate some ideas. Thanks

I went to my pre op appt Friday. Tomorrow I start my 2 week pre-op diet. I was told to eat 3 meals a day. Portein, vegetables. No peas, corn, or starchy veggies. Protein supplements/ shakes. I have 2 questions. 1. I have been told to eat 5o grams of protein a day. Does that mean NOT to go over 50 grams? 2. Can someone give me some ideas on what to eat for breakfast, the only thing i can come up with is eggs, or protein shake. ( I do not like cheese )

Congratulations on your 86 lb. loss. That is terrific !! You look great !! I love reading everything you have to say, it helps me alot. I hope someday I will be like alot of you, able to help and inspire others. Would you mind explaining the pouch test again and what it is for? I will print it out. Thanks, and Keep Up The GOOD WORK!!!:scared2:

Janet, you look Fabulous !! Size 6 is greattttt. I will be there someday, can't wait. I have set my goal at 135. Monday the strict diet starts. My pre op was yesterday. No liquid diet...woo hoo !! Aug 4th is surgery and I will be ready. Will be hard, but I am going to stay so busy. You're such an inspiration for all of us. So many of you are. I look forward every evening coming here and visiting with all of you. Have a great weekend everyone. :scared2:

Have you tried ordering it online?

I think we all have these thoughts before surgery. My surgery date is Aug. 4th. I know I HAVE TO DO THIS. if not I will not live to see my grandbaby grow up. My bp is so high, I am on 3 different bp pills a day. I want off of them. I can't walk very far, if I do, I am out of breath. I am so tired of feeling like this. I want to feel good. No flowers were planted this year, simply because I have no energy. I have gained alot of this extra weight since I quit smoking 19 months ago. I thought I was suppose to feel better after quitting...lol Its the weight, not the no smoking that is making me feel this way. Have you read what Janet has said? She feels sooooooooo good now. We will too !!! :smile:

Wow !! Nina, you are so creative. I love the 2nd one. I had my pre-op appt. yesterday. Monday I start my strict diet for 2 weeks, no liquid diet...woo hoo. I am so excited, yet nervous too. My surgery is Aug. 4th. Hopefully I will figure out how to get a ticker and the banner put on. I'm having a horrible time figuring it out. :scared2:

Good Luck Janet, you are in my prayers.

thanks for the info. I will take my meds with me Friday. I need my bp meds. my insurance approved my lapband because of my bp. i am seeing a heart dr also because my bp was so high..i'm talking 190's / 90's . my heart dr knows i'm getting the band and he says great !! lap band dr knows about the bp problem. i trust them both so i will put it in their hands.
