rndani85 10 Posted February 9, 2013 I can't believe it's almost here. I have done the best I could with the pre-op shakes. I feel like a failure almost because I couldn't drink as many as recommended. A week and a half in I had to swap over to sugar free Carnation Instant Breakfast because the meer sight of the Bariatric Advantage shakes made my mouth salivate in preparation for vomiting. I am so ready to get it over with. I don't even feel anxious or scared. That may change when I'm stripped down to nothing but a gown lying on the stretcher waiting. All I can say is viva la Versed! I was told in pre-op that I had to stay in the hospital gown the first day. Good luck with that happening. I don't care how many holes they put in me or how doped up I am, as soon as I roll up to the floor, my pajamas are going on! I see myself being the patient nurses dream of. Out of bed and walking by 4 hours post-op, urinating on my on accord (without being cathed), and requiring minimal pain medicine. We shall see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SMO 193 Posted February 10, 2013 If you disliked the Bariatric Advantage, you might want to ask for Unjury in the hospital. It tastes way better. I thought the BA had a chemical taste from the Vitamins. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
