Thank you so much Carla 🤞🙏🏻

Hello everyone ! Had my surgery yesterday. I am doing good. Except for gas pains. No other pain. So far so good. Gas is really bothersome though. I am doing a lot more walking today. It’s 4 am and I am up and walking. When will this gas pain be gone 🤔. I have been having only water since yesterday. Today I plan to try some clear protein . This was my first surgery. funny thing was I remember rolling into the operating room and then the next thing was in the recovery. I thought for a min the surgery was not done or something and I was reaching for my stomach to check 😂. After a while I asked nurse if it was done. She said Ofcourse honey 😅

Surgery today in 2 hours . Nervous 😬. Keep me in your prayers . 🙏🏻🤞

https://thegoodbean.com try this. They have roasted crunchy chickpeas. I have ordered even roasted Fava beans from them . It is really yum. they have lot of other options

wow thats something new I heard. you are right, its interesting . I will never understand why there are so many diff pre and post op guidelines . Thank you for the wishes. my first surgery ever. SOOO nervous but looking forward to living a better life with less health issues.

Thank You . Makes sense. I had 2 popsicles today. 😞 But will stay away from it tomm. one more day to go.

Hi I have a VSG scheduled on Monday 06/19. I am required to be on 2 days of Liquid Diet. instruction says I am allowed zero-calorie liquids in between Protein shakes it includes sugar-free popsicles. However they are 15 cal each and has 6 g sugar alcohols. I am confused. Can I have them or not?

These are instructions I was given: 2 days prior to surgery, start the following: LIQUIDS ONLY (Premier protein shakes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner). No solid food and no snacks during these 2 days. Your stomach needs to be emptied of food particles by the time of surgery. Make sure to drink plenty of water during these 2 days, so that you arrive on your surgery day well hydrated. NO SNACKING in between meals. However, you may have zero-calorie liquids in between meals such as water, Crystal Light, sugar-free Jello, sugar-free popsicles. DIABETIC PATIENTS may need to lower their medications during these 2 days to avoid hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). If you eat any solid food during the 2 days prior to surgery, you operation will be cancelled.

Thank You Brandiwine77. Hope you feel better soon.. I am sure your medical team will have something for it? are you able to meet your liquid goals? It gets better is what I heard.

On June 19?. Me too... can't tell you how nervous I am.. crazy emotions. We can do this. Wishing you the very best !!!!.. see you on the other side towards this exciting new begining .

Hello Everyone! My surgery is on June 19th. I am so excited yet nervous!!!!!!..

Good luck on your surgery date. Met my surgeon yesterday. He put me on a pre-op diet . 2 protein drinks and one 400-500 cal dinner and only liquids 2 days prior to surgery. June 19 surgery . I am so nervous but excited now . It’s getting real .

I am with Kaiser Socal too. my surgery is tentatively scheduled for June 19th. I have to meet the surgeon on June06. I have not reached the target weight goal he had asked me to reach. so not sure if my surgery will get postponed. fingers crossed. I loved the Options classes too. I took it last year. Good luck on your journey!.
