I'm the say way bama' date='I haven't told anyone but my close family. I was so excited when I started the process but now that I got approved and date for surgery I'm second guessing my decision not real sure why, just worried about something going wrong I guess. But I no I have to do something because regular dieting wasn't working and now I'm at my heaviest at 320 and not getting any younger[/quote']

Hey snapz. I sorta went through the same feelings. I started this entire process 5 months ago. I was excited and just going from appointment to appointment, but it all became very REAL when I went to my surgeon and got my surgery date. It was weird like it became official. I was nervous, but I came to this site and did a lot of research. I know I'm ready!

This may fall under TMI... But this all liquid pre op diet has made me constipated... I'm not quite sure how that happens... Having 3-4 Premier Protein shakes a day, 16 oz broth and some Jello.. At a hotel at the beach so haven't had any Popsicles. Surgery is tomorrow morning and wondering if I should take something to get this under control before anesthesia and pain meds make it worse?? Any thoughts?

Yeah it did the same to me. I was banded with plication on the 18th. I was able to drink herbal tea on the pre op - that's what I did- see if you can. It's clear! I had the smooth tea but it's lots out there. After surgery the Constipation started all over again - ask your doctor what can you take after surgery. Mine told me to take colace and if no relief then Miralax. Don't go to many days w/o going after surgery! Good luck and check in when you feel up to it.
