I am having surgery Monday...and this morning he asked me for my keys...I thought it was weird but I just got a new van so i thought he wanted to look at it.....ANYWAY

I went out there later and he had put tons of groceries in the back...tons of sugar free Jello, broths, Water, diet sprite, magazines (like 4 or 5), and a few other things. He even said that he picked out magazines that didn't have much food advertisements in them! He also bought a card and signed it from his whole family saying that I had their support and that if i needed anything to call.

I had posted previously that I was kinda regretting telling him, but I take that back...I thought that was sooooooo sweet!:think (happy tears)

Reading your post brought tears to my eyes, you have no idea how lucky you are to have someone like that in your life. Boss or not. He is one in a million! Don't ever give up your job (or if you do, tell me when you do and I'll apply!).

You have a great boss. Most of us bandsters are told not to have pop(soda) because of the carbination. But if your doctor says yes then that is between you and him. My doctor says no carbination becuase of the extra gas and can cause your pouch to expand form the carbination. Good luck on your surgery.

Sorry, I forget that some of us have different rules!!! My instructions said no carbonation, but if your Doc say it's OK, then do what your Doc says!

Best of Luck to you!

Actually after thinking about it I think it said no carbinated drinks...I think the Diet Sprite was allowed during this phase pre-op...now I'm bummed!

O'well....its worth it!

Gasie drink make you more likely to want to burp...problem being often when you have the band you are able to pass a huge burp require.Not all people have this problem so if you do only take same sips and see how you go.

Sounds like he's taken time to think about what you're going to go through. Are you still only getting 3 days off? I had my surgery on 2/13 and it's now 2/18 and I'm still pretty sore. (Of course my monthly thing came along 2 days after surgery so it's made healing longer.) I can't imagine not taking at least a week off but, seems others have had a better go at healing than I have.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
